If enough repubs resign from the House...

[returnee]

…and the Dems regain control of the house, what is the first thing/things Jeffries/Dems should do?

[Dwild]

1. 1st thing

Pass a bill to state corporations are not people and money isn't speech to reverse the Citizens United ruling

[Wiz Imp]

5. Total waste of time. Can not pass Senate

And wouldn't register with vast majority of public at large. Need to concentrate on doing things that are actually productive.

For example - hearings and investigations into Trump's unconstitutional acts.

7. Even if they gain the House, there is still the Senate and President

That would be good if we got back to Obama first term levels with a Democratic President. On legislation, having one House we might be able to stop more bad legislation passing.

What the House could do is oversight and a lot is needed!

That said, I seriously doubt enough Republicans will resign early leaving seats open at the same time.

15. That's not how government works. Nt

[Irish_Dem]

2. Start throwing some son of a bitches in prison.

[edhopper]

3. There is little they can do as far as legislation

because of the GOP Senate.
But, Open Hearings on Trump Admin crimes, multiple law suits against Trump for not allegating the money Congress passed for many agencies. Bring in ALL of Trumps Secretaries and grill them relentlessly. Stuff like that.

[doc03]

4. Forget about our friends across the aisle bullshit and grow a spine.

[Submariner]

6. Order the construction company building the whorehouse dance hall

to use only recyclable materials, because we're knocking that shit down as soon as we get rid of your ass cankles.

[rurallib]

8. impeachment hearings

any number of topics. I would go with invasion of the cities.
But there is also the tariffs not approved by congress, collusion with Russia over Ukraine.

I am sure you all have more.

[Timewas]

9. Dump idiot

A new speaker would be the first thing to do, next they could stop a lot of shit from going throug

[returnee]

10. Thanks for these contributions

I asked because I’m not sure I have any bright ideas. I knew DU could help.

[SocialDemocrat61]

11. Pass an extension to the ACA tax credits

Then dare the Senate and President to not approve them.

[returnee]

12. That sounds promising! n/t

[mountain grammy]

13. I would sleep better if a Democrat was Speaker of the House

sitting 3rd in line behind an obviously sick, hopefully dying, man and the president of vice.

[bluestarone]

14. EPSTEIN EPSTEIN.

Way pass time to Investigate EVERYTHING related to this. Start with prison officials working where the rapist is residing. SHE needs to MOVED back.

[Fiendish Thingy]

16. Investigations and hearings into all the crimes of Trump 2.0

Televised. Daily.

Then impeachment of Trump, Clarence, and various cabinet members.

(I know, I know, the senate will never convict Trump, but it is worthwhile regardless)

Then pass bills reinstating ACA subsidies, child tax credit, raising minimum wage, etc. even if Dems don’t take the senate- make them kill the bills, and fuel the demand to kill the filibuster.
