Keep the investigations low-key. Yes, do them, but don't harp about it. Go Mueller on them.

But do the legislation. Pass something to strengthen the ACA. Pass voter and election reform, things like requiring auditable ballots and regulating polling places to eliminate wait times in minority neighborhoods. Hell, pass an anti-gerrymandering law and let the Repubs block it and sue about it.

Lots of things to do. PRobably won't accomplish much, but still do the work.

Rub Trump's promises to protect them in the GOP's faces at every turn.

minute to pass such legislation... just before a crucial deadline... send it on to the Senate, and moments later head out the door for a 2-3 week vacation.

Not pointing fingers, put both Parties under the microscope and see what gets exposed.


Also, new laws that address the need to secure the vote integrity of future elections.
