On tonight's episode of 'Politics Nation', host Reverend Al Sharpton welcomes viewers to MS NOW, our newly renamed channel, which stands for "My Source for News, Opinion, and the World." While we have a fresh name and graphics, our mission remains the same: to speak honestly and uphold the promises made on the first Politics Nation broadcast 14 years ago. 

Reverend Al Sharpton will discuss the end of the government shutdown and the ongoing challenges for Democratic lawmakers. He will be joined by two governors who have successfully kept their states running during the closure, both of whom may aspire to bring their leadership to the national level. 

Later, Reverend Al will chat with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass about preparing the city for expected flooding after appointing a new fire chief following this year's devastating wildfires.
