      If you read the article, it seems the relevant soon-to-be committee chairs understand that. They know the mission.

      I know these electoral cycles can feel like groundhog day. But let yourself feel some hope for once. Even if it’s just for today.

    Investigation targets could include ICE raids, Epstein and DOGE

    Garcia, the top Democrat on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has outlined five priorities, including Trump family business dealings, the administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation and Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations. Rep. Jared Huffman of California, the ranking Democrat on the Natural Resources Committee, said he wants to dig into Trump’s White House ballroom and other construction projects, as well as the Trump family’s role in mineral deals.

    With the House majority comes an infusion of congressional committee staff and resources, and the effort is expected to be sprawling, involving House committees with authority to conduct oversight on Cabinet officials and the agencies they lead.

    Wonder how many sternly written letters they will send out? Some might even contain a few choice curse words such as “damn” and “hell”

      Hey I don’t have much faith in Schumer or Jeffries to do what needs to be done, but there are some really good ranking members on some important committees who are already gearing up for the road ahead.

      It’s all detailed in the article if you care to read it.

      Funny how you declare that “nothing changed” in the past tense as if it already happened, even though the new session of Congress hasn’t even begun yet.
