DONT BLOW IT

On the road, rural VA, 7NOV2026 Project Blue Wave Democrats just won 256 House seats and 54 in the Senate, the biggest majority in a generation. The plan to wait two years for Trump to leave is how they lose 2028. Our new report sets out what to do instead. In this episode • The method: a bill a day, a vote a day, every bill sent to the White House each week for two years, and every vote recorded by name • Why a vetoed bill is still a win: it passes, it goes on a public veto scorecard, or it becomes the 2028 platform • What goes first in January: insulin at $35, the health subsidies restored, paid leave, a ban on members trading stocks, background checks on every gun sale • The money: workers’ share of what the economy produces is down to 52.8 percent, the lowest on record, and the case for taxing capital every year while leaving homes, retirement accounts, small businesses and farms alone • Seventeen constitutional amendments, in the order hardest to vote against: term limits for Congress (87 percent support), limits on pardons (85 percent), money out of politics (72 percent) • National security: a bipartisan council so no one person can start a nuclear war unless the country is under nuclear attack, and repeal of the 150 powers that switch on when a president declares an emergency Who should read or listen • Congressional staff in the incoming majority: 359 proposals in 26 subjects, each drafted as a bill of one to three pages, with a sequence for the first two years • Campaign strategists looking at 2028: a plan built so every vote, passed or vetoed, feeds the platform • Republican members and staff: the votes you’ll be asked to cast on camera, starting with term limits, which more Republicans than Democrats support • National security and nuclear policy specialists: 37 proposals on the military and the Guard, 20 on intelligence and policing, and 11 on nuclear weapons • Journalists covering the new Congress: the episode is the argument; the report has the full list of proposals and 130 footnotes to check them against Why now The new Congress convenes in January, and the report’s first bills are meant to reach the floor that month. Every week of waiting is a week off a two-year clock that runs out in 2028.
