Democrats have big plans for Trump if they take back the House — and regain subpoena power.

They may not have the gavels yet, but House Democrats are laying the groundwork for a number of investigations into Donald Trump should they win control of Congress in November.

Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif. — who’s set to chair the House Oversight Committee in a Democratic majority — told MS NOW that his team is “already preparing and gearing up.”

“We’ve got a team on Epstein, we have a team on [Trump] family corruption, we have a team on DHS and ICE,” Garcia said. “Those teams are actively working on preparation, letters, research.”

    When am I going to start hearing democrats talk about what they’re going to do to fix the country when they regain power? Or is the whole plan just “Trump is bad”?

      We saw what happened when they tried to ignore MAGA during the Biden administration - they came roaring back, far worse than ever.

      Any plan for the future MUST start with purging MAGA from our government and society. MAGA and it’s prototypes have been fucking up forward progress in this nation for decades, and it is time to deal with them once and for all.

      We all have our Progressive Priorities, mine are Campaign Finance Reform, Universal Health Care, College Loan Forgiveness, Free College/ Vocational Training, and a National Educational Curriculum, with a strong emphasis on Critical Thinking Skills. Others value things like Child Care, Family Leave, etc., all valid. But we’ll never even get to have discussions about any of those things, as long as MAGA is causing deliberate chaos and mayhem as an opposition strategy.

      We are at a crossroads in America, and MAGA understands that they need to crush and purge Democrats so they can steal EVERYTHING. Dems have to meet that head on with STRONGER, RIGHTEOUS energy, so we can save America.

      Then we can talk about moving forward with a progressive agenda. We have a Civil War to win first.

        You need a double line break to force a new line.

        There are only a handful of democrats. The rest are there for show.

        At a point when do we stop saying they are not true democrats, and instead realize this is the truth of the democratic party?
