## Summary

The article says that Democrats, after gaining control of Congress in the midterm elections, are preparing to use their oversight powers for investigations of the Trump administration. It argues that pursuing an aggressive, partisan agenda would misread voters’ desire for a change in federal governance and could prolong political gridlock.

Rep. Robert Garcia, set to become the senior Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, reportedly said the administration should “lawyer up”. The planned targets include the Trump family’s business interests, cryptocurrency ventures and the Department of Homeland Security, with “day one” subpoenas and public hearings proposed.
