REVENGE AGENDA: Democrats vow political reckoning if they win midterms

March 20, 2026

From Fox News: Democrats have been stockpiling ideas for months on how to retaliate against companies and figures that have aligned themselves closely to President Donald Trump’s political agenda, telegraphing that merger breakups and committee investigations will play a central role in their efforts to push back against the administration should they regain power.

Most recently, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., took to social media to highlight his most recent entry on that list.

“Brendan Carr is a corrupt political hack and fake chair of the FCC,” Jeffries said in a post to X. “This guy (and the entities he promotes) will find himself on the wrong side of a congressional investigation in short order.”

Jeffries’ comments were made in response to a post from Carr, suggesting the administration would more closely review license renewals for broadcasters perpetuating “fake news.”

The report also points to Democrat Sen. Ruben Gallego of Arizona who recently told Semafor, “Once we take power, whoever the president is, we’re going to break up your companies.”

“So, all the investment you did to create these mergers are going to be for naught. Your investors are going to be pissed at you, and you’re likely going to end up getting fired as the CEO because you wasted so much money and corrupted yourself in the process,” Gallego added.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) threatened in a post on X last month, “Paramount should enjoy its growing news monopoly while they have it because when Democrats win back power we are going to break up these anti-democratic information conglomerates. All of them.”

Democrats are calling their plan “Project 2029.” Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker recently declared that Democrats intend to prosecute members of the Trump administration who they say have “broken the law” once they return to power.

Democrats are already planning their long list of criminial and civil prosecutions for Trump officials if they take power in 2029.
