Day 83.

Please read up on the Saturday Night Massacre.

It’s not exactly what’s happening now, but it’s close. (Yates was not directly investigating the President. Also Nixon was quite a bit further along in his presidency by this point.)

So the American Carnage continues. Between this and the 100 members of the State Department who have signed onto an opposition cable, it’s clear that there’s a lot of, well, opposition.

The tally? 16 Republican members of the House and 8 Republican Senators currently oppose the immigration-related Executive Orders that were issued this weekend. Follow along here. Don’t let up on the calls. The minority party in the Senate is uniquely situated to slow down the workings of government. McConnell did this for years. This is important enough.
