Democrats plan investigations and cost-cutting laws with Congress majorities

Democrats won majorities in Congress in Tuesday's midterm elections, gaining leverage over President Donald Trump. They plan aggressive investigations and lawmaking to support their 2028 presidential nominee, focusing on lowering costs, reducing chaos, and fighting corruption. Party leaders, including Greg Casar and Hakeem Jeffries, prioritize legislation on price gouging, Super Pacs, and lawmaker stock trading, aiming to force Trump's vetoes as campaign ammunition. Democrats may secure 56 Senate seats, but Trump's veto power and the Senate filibuster limit their legislative reach. Impeachment is off the table, with leaders focusing on affordability and accountability instead. Planned investigations target Homeland Security contracting, Epstein files, and corporate profiteering, while Democrats seek to restore ACA subsidies and undo Medicaid cuts.
