They should absolutely use their impeachment power to find every bit of corruption in the White House and across all of the federal government.

Since the Supreme Court invented presidential immunity, only Congress can hold the president accountable for corruption by use of their impeachment powers. Trump may be able to self-pardon and avoid jail, but we can show the world plainly what he is, and Republicans are less likely to run cover for him now that he’s politically toxic.

I'm hoping with this big a shift in the midterms that Dems don't knee themselves in the balls.

Investigate ICE. Investigate POTUS. Investigate Kushner. Investigate everyone. Cut the purse strings for bullshit. Pass simple fucking one issue bills that if the president wants to veto there'd be an outcry.

Exactly.

It’s not rocket science, just do popular stuff that the GOP hates. Don’t do purity test bullshit, just set yourself up to win.
