Democrats take the House. Here’s what they plan to investigate and their legislative agenda Democrats take the House. Democrats will take control of the House of Representatives, according to an ABC News projection, putting Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on track to make history as the first Black Speaker of the House when the new Congress is seated in January.

So, what's next? Democrats have signaled that they will pursue both a legislative agenda and investigative track that they say aims to restore a congressional check and balance against the executive branch.

Legislative priorities: Healthcare, prices, tariffs Oversight and investigations: Epstein, Trump family, immigration Politicization of DOJ and the FBI: Pardons for sale (“pardon industrial complex” The Iran war and its cost Casualties and conduct of the war: Boat strikes Hegseth’s management of the Pentagon

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Be prepared, they have no agenda and they have not changed no matter how nice they smile in the beginning.

They will target Trump, Vance, Rubio. Using other associations as leverage.

How do you prepare, well in a knife fight be sure to bring at least a knife or something better with you.

One of the first things they’re likely to do is release all of the Epstein files, as stated in the law passed last year.

Re: “Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on track to make history as the first Black Speaker of the House “

BUhahahahahaha!

He looks like a white man who was recently tanned at a local beach, with bug out crazy eyes.Hakeem tries awfully hard to be black, he has to work really hard to pull that off...but of course, the lamestream media mentions nothing about that “truef”.

He is not the forst”BLACK” speaker of the house because he is not a real “black man.”Neither was Obama.

Will they be able to squeeze some 'governing' into their agenda?

Their platform was/is, "I hate America"...That's the lazy man's and the idiot's answer to issues. Every one of the clowns who got 'elected' is a 10th rate politician and worse if we expect them to be statesmen

Although Donald Trump cannot run for office against a do-nothing Congress as did Harry Truman, Trump can govern against a Democrat Congress. To the degree that the Democrats have an actual agenda for positive legislation, that will be vetoed by the president and that veto will not be overridden. If Trump is smart, he will anticipate every democratic initiative and his party will offer a Republican alternative and Trump will, when possible, act with an executive order.

All the time Trump should profess to be amenable to all reasonable compromise.

Then Trump conducts politics against Congress on these issues. It is not reasonable to expect Trump to win these arguments but it is possible the process itself can tarnish the Democrats enough so that their dazzling election brilliance is diminished and the public returns to regarding them is just more sordid politicians.

As for the impeachments and the investigations, the more the better.

I seriously doubt it and if they do can’t even trust those files at this point. This is the same party that fabricated files to create Russian collusion. But who knows anything can and will happen at this point. It will be an interesting time but not a fun one.

If there was anything in there that would have damaged Trump, Biden would have not only released them, but made an entire documentary mini series about it and played it on its own channel. The files are completely unreliable at this point, and therefore worthless. Any Republicans that is questioned by their “investigations” should only reply with “I can’t recall”, or “I have no recollection of that.”

They’ll go after Hegseth first. They consider him low-hanging fruit, because he’s a D.C. outsider, and he’s been extremely effective at returning our military branches into a War Department, rather than a misfits of society club.
They hate him.
I hope the White House is prepared for this fight. If we lose Pete, the blood thirst on the left will never be satisfied.
Time to stop this, before it grows.

First thing they have to do is make everything more affordable by devaluing the currency to bail out the Blue States and Blue States pensioners.

Second thing they have to do is make everything more affordable by devaluing the currency by paying themselves off.

Third thing they are going to do is increase regulations, damage businesses, and allow foreign governments to prey on Americans. For affordability, no less. Hopefully get rid of those pesky Tariffs and really ruin industries and American jobs! Pay off for the rich international companies!

Fourth thing they are going to do is make us energy dependent again by blocking US energy production. That’s for affordability.

Fifth thing is to constantly attack Trump, so people don’t notice it’s not affordable and they lied about everything.

Sixth thing they are going to do is open the border back up for the sex trade, especially pedophiles, and drugs, to make it more ‘affordable’.

Then, they have to pack the SCOTUS, bring in more senators, get rid of the Constitution, because they have to make things more affordable.

Finally, they are going to get a real shooting war started with Russia, over Ukraine. Again, for affordability.

Obviously, they are going to investigate Christian’s and white people because they are causing crime and are dangerous, so it can be more affordable.

When they are done robbing the treasury, destroying the currency, damaging jobs and industry, destroying the Constitution, they will come for your property. Because all that nonsense isn’t affordable and people are going to figure it out soon enough. The entire time Iran will be killing Americans and rejoicing.

Obama did succeed at fundamentally destroying America, with some help even from ‘conservatives’ right here.

People here, on this very blog, helped all that happen. Let that settle.

The Epstein files will never be fully released by either side. They likely implicated too many people of power and influence. Both sides have had the opportunity to fully release them be refused to. That in itself is telling.

The only thing I’m worried about Pete is with the boats they bombed out of the water. I just hope they have receipts showing that every one of them was legit.

Democrats never do anything of worth due to the fact the only thing they spend to much time on is investigations their voters keep taking the bait of believing they are doing something.

Little abc needs to get its act together. They aren’t “democrats” anymore. They are Communists and Muzzie Terrorists now.

Its all small change. The Dems will chimp around, pee on the carpet and Trump will still be using his pen and phone to achieve his goals.

endless investigations accomplish nothing - The GOP had hundreds to no effect.

There needs to be a concerted effort to stop calling them Democrats.

Yes, the Republicans lost but what we witnessed Tuesday was the unofficial death of the Democrat Party as many Americans view it i.e. the Clinton years. That is LONG gone.

The moderate "normal" ones will be neutered, sidelined, replaced, primaried ... and the Islamists will sooner rather than later do the same to the socialist wing, who think THEY are running the show because they're winning seats.

They're not. Islam is merely pretending to espouse socialist values to get a foothold. Islam is more violent and aggressive and is the future.

For the first time I am grateful that I will never have grandchildren.

So, they plan to go after who they perceive are their enemies (that will be citizens too) who voted against them only two years ago. As for the rest of the garbage, prices, housing, health care they plan to wave a magic wand and WALLA. How nice to have their own media mouthpiece eh?
