Democrats on Tuesday seized control of the U.S. House, flipping the chamber after four years in the minority wilderness to usher in a new era of divided government, Decision Desk HQ projects.
The change will have immediate repercussions for the workings of Washington next year, slamming the brakes on President Trump’s legislative agenda and setting the stage for countless clashes between the House and White House over everything from immigration enforcement and government spending to Trump’s global tariffs and the Iran war.
Democrats have vowed to launch an exhaustive list of investigations into Trump and his inner circle, featuring deep dives into the Jeffrey Epstein scandal; the violence that’s accompanied Trump’s deportation surge; and the president’s personal and family finances, which have ballooned since his return to office last year.
If you have a Dem House rep, start calling tomorrow telling them we can’t afford to waste time on Jefferies as speaker.
We won’t get someone like AOC (I’d love it if we did) but bare minimum it needs to be someone on the same general page as Dem voters. And Jefferies doesn’t.
They cannot waste any time on not starting the investigations and the hearings on all of these motherfuckers, too.
Hit. The. Ground. Running.
If there is not already a “Project 2027” for Democrats, they need to write one.
They have communicated that they will reinstate the ACA subsidies that were cut, and take a hard look at the Iran strategy. And focus on cost of living. Thats it. No taxing the rich. No medicare for all. Not a single word about zionists and foreign influence and war crimes. Nothing about Ukraine. They dodge and weave around Epstein and they have stated explicitely that they wont look to impeach. Not a lot about about climate change. Nothing about reigning in ICE. They claim this is them being “hyper focussed on the economy”.
even as of a few hours ago they are on script.
But this is what we saw leading up to today:

I came here to say this. Jefferies is watching these results having already crowned himself speaker in his mind, and will sit on that power like a dragon on gold for two years, doing nothing with it.
He needs a challenger and the sooner they can build momentum before the next Congress is seated, the better.
Yes, thank you. This is the correct approach, prioritize and organize.
As of posting this comment, AP has the House races at 92:50 and NBC at 102:49, both in favor of Democratic party (100 about 300 races not yet called). So … seems a bit premature to be calling the whole House majority at this point.
It’s being called now

While I fully expect the Democrats to win the House, I don’t think the races in question have actually been called yet?
Seems like The Hill is declaring it prematurely for clicks.
You can predict an overall result of an election, without calling every single seat, based on statistics.
In Australia, this regularly happens where e.g. only a third of seats have been called, but the margins and swings are so great that it’s clear who has won, just not the exact result.
2 years of stale mates and nothing passing, here we go

Don’t go making claims like that BEFORE ALL THE POLLS CLOSE EVEN
Everyone that can out west get in and do the thing, every last nail that can be driven into his coffin should be.
House was basically a given. Really nice seeing that Senate needle all the way to the left as well, though.
Yep. The real question is if they can get to 54 or 55, giving them the need to find 2 or 3 Fettermans instead of 1. Schumer will find it harder to resist the progressives the more of a majority he has.
NBC is projecting House will go Democratic now
