Americans need to 'fight for the soul' of the US: Lawmaker McGovern | The Bottom Line
Progressive Democratic politicians who refuse to take donations from pro-Israel groups have won several party primary elections across the United States. Democratic Congressman Jim McGovern tells host Steve Clemons that the left is rising because Americans “want more from Democrats”. “Right now, we're doing a lot of bad things all around the world, and people need to protest,” McGovern says. On US policy ranging from Cuba to Israel, he argues that Congress has become “just a rubber stamp on whatever this president wants to do”. “We need to fight for the soul of this country,” McGovern adds. #unitedstates #politics #uspolitics #history

Envision the following scenario: it is the 2008 U.S. presidential election between Senator John McCain (R-AR) and Senator Barack Obama (D-IL). As the results begin pouring in, a senator from another country writes to The New York Times and warns that if the elections don’t go a certain way, there could be “profound implications.” We don’t have to imagine this scenario for long, because something very similar actually happened during Ukraine’s 2004 election.

Sen Murphy: Trump Is The Biggest Threat To Our Democracy
Sen Chris Murphy was on Meet The Press Sunday morning when the subject of the big wins by the New York Democratic Socialists came up. Murphy put things into perspective and offered a message from a unified front: It's no secret. Voters aren't super happy with establishment Democrats or establishment Republicans these days. I will say, though, what binds together, I think, every Democratic candidate that is running, including the ones in New York, is that they are standing up to protect American democracy. And right now, the biggest threat to this country is, are not a handful of House candidates in New York. It is the president of the United States that is trying to destroy American democracy, and the Democratic Party - left, right, and center - is united around the fact that we need to protect this nation from Donald Trump's attacks on the rule of law. Similarly, Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pointed out that the Democratic Socialists and establishment Democrats need each other if they are to form a majority and that they need to work it out.read more
