A 20-point swing towards Democrats in KS-4 during Trump’s first 100 days — a.k.a. his honeymoon — is a political earthquake

It's Saturday afternoon when this story from @nytmike and @maggieNYT dropped but it's a big deal. White House counsel Don McGahn feared Trump was trying to set him up -- so he's been cooperating with Mueller. Has talked to him for 30 hours so far!

It appears that Hakeem Jeffries will win a plurality of votes for Speaker. Not enough to become speaker -- you need a majority -- but quite a statement on the day Republicans were to celebrate their House majority. It's also a preview of what they next two years will be like.

It’s obvious that Republicans are really scared of witnesses. History will recall that Nixon’s presidency fell apart only after two witnesses — John Dean and Alexander Butterfield — came forward with damning evidence.
