House Democrats are preparing a vast oversight agenda, with investigations of President Donald Trump, his family and his administration if the party sweeps control of the chamber from Republicans in the November elections.
The undertaking is as robust as it is daunting, spanning several House committees. With majority power comes bigger budgets and staff, and the ability to investigate, subpoena and potentially course-correct what the Democrats say are widespread corruption and abuses of power. Impeachment of the Republican president and Cabinet officials is not off the table.
“There is a cost to the American people of the out-of-control corruption,” said Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York, who is in line to become House speaker if Democrats win control at the Capitol.
My favorite Mamdani quote:
That’s the MAGA comedy duo of Schmuck & Jeffries, in a nutshell.
Nothing will happen to MAGA as long as those two losers remain in power. They need to get the hook, dragged from the stage, and investigated just as deeply as any MAGA, because we’ll find out they were working for them the entire time. Nothing else but collaboration explains their consistent fecklessness.
