Trump probably only signed the bill so he can leave this weekend.

He's clearly pissed about signing it, but he signed it anyway. The March for our Lives is happening tomorrow and is surrounding the White House. He knew that if the government shut down, he'd get raked over the coals for flying to Mar-A-Lago with everything shut down, so he did it just so that he can get away.

WaPo: "Flake warns Trump of impeachment remedy if Mueller probe is halted"

Sen. Jeff Flake, one of President Trump’s most prominent Senate critics, told The Washington Post in an interview Tuesday that he would support impeachment proceedings against Trump if the president ends special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election “without cause.”

“We’re begging him: ‘Don’t go down this road. Don’t create a constitutional crisis. Don’t force the Congress to take the only remedy that Congress can take,’ ” said Flake (R-Ariz.). “To remind the president of that is the best way to keep him from going down that road. To fire Mueller without cause, I don’t know if there is any other remedy left to the legislative branch.”

Flake compared any possible effort by Trump in the coming weeks to end the Mueller probe to President Richard Nixon’s infamous 1973 firing of the special prosecutor during the Watergate scandal.

One final lesson tonight: Nothing is more important than GOTV

Over 200,000 votes cast. Lamb is going to win by literally a few hundred votes.

Write postcards. Knock on doors. Donate. Even $10 is enough. Bring a friend to vote.

Conor Lamb was a fantastic candidate with a fantastic GOTV campaign, and it looks like it put him over the edge.

BIG winner tonight? Steve Kornacki

He’s always great. But tonight, he was on a different level. He’s hands down the best election night analysis.
