WASHINGTON (AP) — House Democrats are preparing an ambitious 100-days agenda focused on delivering their campaign promises — making life more affordable and conducting vast oversight of the Trump administration — if the party seizes majority control in next month’s elections.

Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, who is in line to become House speaker if the party wins power, said the Democrats will be united “right out of the gate” on reinstating Affordable Care Act tax breaks, reversing Republican Medicaid cuts, holding votes against the Iran war and undoing President Donald Trump’s tariff regime.

They expect to launch the agenda in the first 100 hours, once the new Congress is seated in January.

“Fighting for an affordable America — that’s what unites Democrats all across the country,” Jeffries said recently at the party campaign headquarters in Washington

      Yup get ready for softball impeachment hearings for Trump, and round the clock news coverage of fake scandals platformed by our supposed allies.

      And that’s the good outcome…

        Get a supermajority in the Senate, impeach him again, then have the rotating villain fail to convict. Repeat a few more times for good measure. Pass a few more bills to murder brown children at home and abroad. All in a day’s work.
