Democrats retook power in Washington on Tuesday, flipping key House and Senate seats to command majorities in both chambers of Congress.
The power shift creates a new platform for Democrats to launch investigations of President Trump's economic allies โ Elon Musk, to name one โ and pass bills that may be unlikely to become law but will mark a sharp change in the political climate for business leaders and economic issues after two years of unified Republican control.
The change also appears set to elevate figures like Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren and others to prominent positions with oversight over economic policy.
Democrats are planning "a shock-and-awe legislative sprint," the New York Times reported, on issues like healthcare subsidies and Trump's tariffs, which could prompt a wave of bills to pass the House but stall against the 60-vote threshold in the Senate. Even in the minority, Senate rules mean Republicans retain the power to stop legislation.

They've caught a case of Trump Hubris.
Everything will be gridlock for 2 years I suspect.
Trump should put a very big tariff on the democrats
Maxine Waters is what 88 what will she control ? LOl
“targeting healthcare”
I will assume that means making it more expensive and bureaucratic.
The only thing they are going to do is impeachment everything.
The Dems want it for everyone...including illegals...
โFreeโ trade and open borders ? Dems have become bush league republicans !
Incessant subpoenas and show trials.
The win for Dems is the norm...so why are we supposed to be stunned. Cuz we want to blame Trump.
Yeah, and I think they’re coming for everybody. Trump, of course. Vance, likely. And just about every cabinet secretary. I don’t think we’ve ever seen the type of insanity we’re about to see from the Democrat Party.
No one is talking about the real estate collapse in NC, SC GA, FL, TX, AZ or NV. That was also a contributing factor. FL especially with the collapse of the condo market and spike in insurance rates.
The size of her grampers? As noted previously, maybe 15% of voters have a clue. The rest live on sound bites and vile rhetoric.

I will likely go to my grave thinking Trump had to make a deal with Israel to win in 2024.
Mr. President, a thought for the next two years.
There are 535 members of Congress.
We are a nation of 350 million people.
Surely in a nation of 350 million people there can be found 535 MAGA red registered Dems who could run in every primary.
Until we find and run MAGA patriots in both parties for every seat, we are fighting half a battle.
Only a matter of time until the FBI becomes the ‘New NKVD’ (it’s pretty close already), ICE detention facilities become the ‘New Gulag Archipelago’, and ‘we’ (ie. anyone on the right) become the new ‘Article 58s’.

Count on climate legislation to destroy economy and increase even more gas price
