This has to be the single uncompromising demand from the Democratic base and activist class: prosecutions and consequences. Democrats may talk a big game, but many WILL try to wiggle their way out of it if they are returned to power. But there cannot be any loss of resolve on this.

the truth is dems can probably sit back and have great ‘26 and ‘28 by doing nothing and promising nothing but without investigating and prosecuting these monsters we will never recover from whats happening

Also so the media can run Its insane and stupid " this is so controversial and out of the norms" routine
In time for 26
But all these idiots he has as cabinet members and directors of agencies...all knowingly breaking the law for him?
The Republic demands justice.
When did the GOP ever just sit back and wait when they didn't have power?
Trump will pardon everyone.
This was the game plan all along.
This was always the plan, because no one ever thought pardons would be the just commit crimes and get away with it tool that MAGA realizes it is.
(But pardons by the administration for illegalities committed *by the administration* should be an illegal act in itself)
Recognizing that constitutional amendments are a heavy lift, even for obviously necessary reforms, we perhaps can use the threat of prosecutions to push for them.
Even though it's clearly objectively, obviously the right thing.
Republicans do it constantly.
Democrats? " Agree with us or... Well I guess we'll agree with you. So you know we're tough"
Most obvious is fixing the SCOTUS presidential immunity case and the pardon power. They clearly think right now that Trump will pardon everyone who does crimes and be immune himself.
