On tonight's episode of Politics Nation, Reverend Al Sharpton discusses how Donald Trump is spending the holiday weekend playing golf at one of his private clubs, celebrating the passage of his "big, beautiful" tax and spending bill by House Republicans, just in time for Memorial Day. 

While the bill may seem beneficial for the wealthy with its massive tax breaks, it proposes significant cuts to Medicaid, food assistance, and environmental protections, creating serious problems for many Americans as it moves to the Senate. 

In addition, Trump capped off the week with a $400 million luxury jet gift from a foreign government and an exclusive dinner tied to a Bitcoin scheme that has greatly enriched him and his family. 

Amid all this, Trump's Justice Department dropped accountability agreements with police departments this week—the fifth anniversary of George Floyd's murder—blatantly disregarding his legacy and impact on justice in America. 

So, my big question tonight is: Is criminal justice in the U.S. anymore "just" than it was five years ago? The answer will come later on "Politics Nation."

On tonight's episode of Politics Nation, The Reverend Al Sharpton discusses how, after being treated like royalty by Arab leaders during his trip to the Middle East this week, Donald Trump is returning to Washington, where the checks and balances of democracy conflict with his aspirations of ruling like a strongman. 

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has thrown a major obstacle in Trump's mass deportation plans, ruling that Venezuelan detainees must be given more time to present their cases in court. The Court emphasized that the constitutional right to due process must be upheld, even as this administration seeks to target Democratic lawmakers who advocate for the same rights.

On tonight's episode of Politics Nation, Reverend Al Sharpton discusses President Trump's upcoming historic trip to the Middle East, but his second-term priorities are at risk.

Resistance to his mass deportations is increasing, evidenced by the arrest of a democratically elected mayor. His budget bill is stuck in Congress, with members of his own party in dispute.

Additionally, Trump's reputation as a dealmaker is being tested as agreements on tariffs and ceasefires remain elusive. Time is running out for him to advance his agenda before the upcoming midterm elections that could reshape his presidency.

In today's episode of Politics Nation, Reverend Al Sharpton discussed the hundred-day mark of President Trump's second term. Trump marked this occasion by escalating the chaos and cruelty defining his presidency. 

The week started with the significant ousting of National Security Adviser Mike Waltz amid various controversies, raising questions about his successor, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is currently filling both roles. 

Trump then introduced a budget proposal that suggests a 23 percent cut across key areas like education, environmental protections, healthcare, and the social safety net, while requesting an additional trillion dollars for national defense and increasing border security spending, despite low crossing rates. 

Even Trump's allies in Congress are reportedly anxious about selling this budget to the public, as tariffs kick in and Wall Street grows concerned about a potential trade war and recession. And that's where we begin tonight.
