The House has a speaker. Here's what comes next [View all]

Every new Congress must pass a new set of House rules, and doing so will be the top of the 118th Congress’ to-do list when the House reconvenes Monday.

With House Republicans’ majority, comes a newfound power to set the agenda – investigative and legislative.

House Republicans will be limited in their ability to pass bills through Congress with Democrats in control of the Senate and the White House – where the president can exercise veto power over legislation. Still, House Republicans will be able to push messaging bills that highlight their agenda.

With subpoena power and control over powerful committees, the House GOP plans to make investigations into the Biden administration a top priority. Among its targets are:

Hunter Biden. GOP Rep. James Comer, who is in line to chair the House Oversight Committee, said that “in the 118th Congress, this committee will evaluate the status of Joe Biden’s relationship with his family’s foreign partners and whether he is a President who is compromised or swayed by foreign dollars and influence.”

Several other "investigations" are expected by these pricks too. Yes we still control the Senate and White House but it does not mean these people cannot make our lives a bigger mess than it already is. We need to stay strong and fight them on every front. The best way is to shed lots of light on their BS agendas that serve no one but themselves and hinder this nation!
