Republicans routed as Democrats gain powerful new leverage over Trump for remainder of his presidency

Democrats have regained control of the US Senate, routing Republicans nationwide with historic victories that will give them powerful new leverage over Donald Trump for the remainder of his presidency.

Democrats will soon have the ability to hold up not just Trump’s legislative agenda, but also any appointments he makes to his cabinet or the federal judiciary – including the supreme court, where conservatives have a 6-3 majority.

    I didn’t say that they should waste time trying to remove Trump. I said investigations and the promise of executing those criminal prosecutions, so that 2028 is a referendum on prosecuting every pedophile, con artist, lobbyist, traitor, and war criminal associated with fascism; especially the ultra wealthy and their CEO’s.

    The next two years should be filled with building and documenting the evidence, so that an antifascist DOJ can start excising the rot from all branches of society on day 1.
