: 01, 2018

4:01 There seems to be some real parallels between Richard Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre and Trump's alleged desire to fire Special Prosecutor Mueller. Many in Congress seem to think their job is to protect the president. 8:58 Since 2015, asylum claims in Canada have almost doubled, though most applicants are unqualified for refugee status. VICE News investigates how Canada is dissuading some asylum seekers from crossing the border. 16:09 The best analogy to the Kansas law is the loyalty oaths state and federal government employees, beginning under president Truman, once had to sign to prove they weren’t Communists.

Team's Ian Parton and Simone Odaranile break down the brass stem in their song "Mayday."
