Clearly, Donald Trump and his “Project 2025” has set out to destroy “The Great Society” of Lyndon B. Johnson, and given time and ability, the next goal is to wipe out “The New Deal” of Franklin D. Roosevelt!
IF the Democrats do not win control of the House of Representatives in the Midterm Congressional Elections of 2026, nothing will stand in the way of further destruction of federal agencies and programs.
The ability to win the US Senate is a tall order, but Democrats must find a way to flip four seats, and not lose any of their members.
Otherwise, the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare), already under attack, will be also under threat, as well as environmental reforms promoted by Theodore Roosevelt, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Joe Biden!
The last century and more of reforms will be under danger of total destruction!

Another 10 or so Republicans should do the same, flipping the House to Democratic control, immediately. But they won’t, of course, because that would require them to put country over career, principle over party…
I’m sure everyone has heard about that horrible flooding in Texas.
