Senator Angus King (I-ME) reaching to history to recall Senator Margaret Chase Smith (R-ME) and her 1950 stand against what she called "Republican Fascists." (King does not hold Chase's seat; Senator Susan Collins (R) does.)
Margaret Chase Smith’s words ring more true — and urgent — today than when she first spoke them. Americans should put aside politics and return to what unites us: the Constitution. We can disagree about policy, but we cannot waver on our commitment to our founding principles.

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.
