Day 1 should be to Fire everyone even remotely related to trump. Then take trumps entire cabinet to a CIA black site. Then start going after the treasonous media figures. Then day 2 you can start fixing things.

He said when they take the house. In that hypothetical, they would still be moderately impotent with regards to what you describe, they'd need 2/3 of Senate too.

This is the most optimistic plausible scenario for 2027, not 2029.

They'll be working in the same building as the Senate and people fall down the stairs there all the time with no questions asked.

The good news is that the Senate is vulnerable to flipping. 22 of the 35 seats up for election are currently held by Republicans, and only 13 by Democrats. Dems only need 4 seats to flip the Senate, and Senate races aren't vulnerable to gerrymandering.

The bad news is that this is the Senate class that was elected in 2020, so the Republicans up for election aren't extremely vulnerable since they all survived a fairly blue election cycle.

Right, but a lot of that would require either POTUS or 2/3. They might be able to do some things, but almost certainly can't remove from office or override vetos
