The Democrats aren't even bothering to pretend any longer.
Key House Democratic caucus leaders have now put pen to paper on their radical intentions should they regain control of Congress after the midterms—killing the Senate filibuster and expanding the Supreme Court the second they are sworn in.
The latest admission comes via a resolution put forth by progressive, black, and Hispanic caucus chairs, as reported by Politico just over a week ago. The groups are pushing hard for these changes in response to recent Voting Rights Act decisions they don’t like.
While the resolution has virtually no chance of passing in the current Congress, it serves as an early marker for the aggressive agenda extremist progressives and key Democratic groups intend to pursue if they regain full control after the 2026 elections.
President Trump jumped all over the news in a Truth Social media post on Sunday afternoon.
"They do this, and the Republican Party is DEAD!" he warned.

In a follow-up post, Trump doubled down on the warning, highlighting how Democrats are already clearly signaling they will eliminate the 60-vote Senate threshold in their very first hour back in power.
Trump warned that this would open the floodgates to a nightmare scenario: Democrats packing the Supreme Court with activist judges, adding new friendly states to skew the Electoral College, and cementing a built-in advantage that could keep Republicans out of the White House for decades.
"There is nothing Americans can’t do except get Voter ID (Identification), Proof of Citizenship or, most importantly of all, TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER," he quipped, noting that Democrats will have no issue taking action on something Republicans seem so hesitant or cowardly to pursue.
"(When, not if, Dems nuke the filibuster), it will be impossible for a Republican to ever be elected President again," Trump warned. "I don’t want to be the last Republican President!"
"GET SMART REPUBLICANS, IF YOU DON’T, YOU WON’T BE IN OFFICE FOR LONG!"

The resolution was followed by Sen. Chris Murphy's (D-CT) hesitant admission last week that radicals in his party view the filibuster as a major obstacle to their agenda and are eager to "reform" or eliminate it once they regain power.
"Of course, we're going to have to compromise, but we're not going to get any of this stuff done as long as the filibuster stops us from doing it," he said. "And if Democrats gain power, we are going to have to reform the filibuster so we can get our core economic ideas done, or nobody is going to vote for us ever again."
Murphy went on to say he would prefer taking the “reform” route first, but added that in his mind, the GOP has “the system rigged,” making the outright elimination of the filibuster a very real option.
The President has repeatedly insisted that Republicans kill the filibuster now, while they can, to pass the SAVE America Act, rather than allowing Democrats to do it later when they regain power. He views the Act as key to ensuring secure elections and thus delivering GOP victories.
In multiple Truth Social posts, he has urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) to take action so Republicans can secure voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements on a party-line vote, warning that failing to act would be a catastrophic mistake.
When will they listen?
