Summary
Democrats won control of Congress in the midterms. Now comes the test: should they impeach Pete Hegseth, cut off funding for Trump’s war in Iran, or pass laws to curb presidential abuses?

Brown University Professor Corey Brettschneider and John Fugelsang examine how the incoming Congress can use its power to confront a lawless president. Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s comments on presidential immunity spark a look at the possible fight to overturn a doctrine that puts presidents above the law. They also unpack Trump’s embrace of Stephen Miller and JD Vance’s effort to distance himself from the war. Will Democrats use their new majority to demand accountability, or let the moment pass?
