## Resource

On today's episode of Politics Nation, host Reverend Al Sharpton warns that the Trump administration is attacking the pillars of American democracy as crucial midterm elections approach. He reports that the president removes the remaining members of an independent bipartisan election commission, while the Justice Department subpoenas New York Times journalists over their reporting on the president's new Air Force One. Against the backdrop of renewed hostilities with Iran and the aftermath of a deadly ICE-related shooting in Houston, Sharpton says the stakes could not be higher.
