Yesterday on MSNBC’s #MorningJoe, I spoke with journalist David Rohde about Donald Trump’s latest diversion tactics pushing for grand jury testimony to be released in the Epstein case, knowing it won’t reveal any names or new evidence.

Tonight on The #RachelMaddow Show, I addressed the surprise release of over 243,000 pages of FBI and CIA files related to the 1968 assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I spoke with Martin Luther King III earlier this week, before the documents were made public. He and his…

Happy Heavenly 107th Birthday to Madiba via Nelson Mandela. One of the greatest honors of my life was meeting Madiba on several occasions, and having the privilege of speaking with him. He was truly one of the greatest minds, and one of the greatest men of the 21st century.…



Just appeared on MSNBC’s #DeadlineWhiteHouse with Nicolle Wallace to weigh in on the reckless posture Donald Trump is now taking, particularly around his connection to Jeffrey Epstein. As I said on air, for the first time, Trump seems off balance. He’s used to saying whatever he…
Today on MSNBC’s #MorningJoe, I joined Pulitzer Prize-winning author Tracy Kidder to discuss the harsh reality that nearly 30 million full time working Americans still don’t earn a living wage. As someone who grew up on food stamps with a working mother, I know firsthand that…
Earlier today on MSNBC’s #MorningJoe, I called it what it is, a slap in the face of justice. The DOJ recommending just one day in prison for the officer who blindly fired 10 shots during the raid that killed #BreonnaTaylor is not justice. It sends a chilling message that the…
REV. AL SHARPTON CONDEMNS US DOJ OVER REQUEST OF ONE-DAY SENTENCE FOR OFFICER CONVICTED IN 2020 MURDER OF BREONNA TAYLOR Police Shooting, Alongside Killing of George Floyd, Sparked Global Protests
Five years ago today, we lost Congressman John Lewis. He put his body on the line for justice long before many understood the cost of that kind of courage. He was the youngest speaker at the March on Washington and helped make Selma sacred ground in the fight for voting rights.…

Today, July 17, we remember Eric Garner, a Black man killed on this day in 2014 with a banned chokehold applied by NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo as he cried out ‘I can’t breathe’ eleven times. Those words became a rallying cry for a generation, and a movement was born. From day…
