Not american, wanted to know what exactly the dems can now do that they couldn't before. What does this mean for the supreme court, and what does it mean for the next presidential elections?

They can also release the Epstein Files or start jailing people blocking the release… as well as running actual investigations, hopefully leading to criminal investigations, for all the naked corruption the orange menace regime has committed.

I seriously doubt they will release the files, but I'm hoping beyond hope.

    I'm hoping that enough republicans see the writing on the wall from this election and go into self-preservation mode to break from party lines and help democrats do some of the overwhelmingly popular things they want to do, like releasing the Epstein files and ending support for Israel. I'm letting myself be overly hopeful, though, so we'll see.
