The only part I would slightly and respectfully disagree with you is this:

“In other Election 2022 summary news, a huge win for Republicans was not the only news of the week.”

I would posit, the Repubs winning the House was certainly a major win. A significant win. However, the fact that they only won by a very slim margin – and an “unexpectedly slim margin” at that – keeps me from calling it a “huge” win. 

But okay. I won’t quibble with you…lol

CNN: House Republicans will have subpoena power in the majority and control over powerful committees – and they plan to make investigations into the Biden administration a top priority. […] – H/t: Wil

“House Republicans will have subpoena power in the majority and control over powerful committees – and they plan to make {ENDLESS) investigations into the Biden administration a top priority.”

There, I fixed it. And btw that’s also why I feel confident the Dems have a really good chance of retaking the House at their very next opportunity!

Winning the House majority, even with a smaller margin than they’d hoped, will give Republicans some newfound power to set the agenda when they take over the chamber in January.

House Republicans will have subpoena power in the majority and control over powerful committees – and they plan to make investigations into the Biden administration a top priority.

On the legislative front, there will be some must-pass policy issues – like funding the government – that will test the ability of Republicans and Democrats to work together.

House Republicans are eyeing potential probes into everything from the chaotic pullout from Afghanistan, border policies being overseen by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic, the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago, business dealings involving President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, and the bureaucratic decision-making behind Covid-related school closures and vaccine mandates.

House Republicans may also use their majority to push a counter-narrative around the January 6, 2021, attack in an attempt to shift blame away from former President Donald Trump after a violent mob of his supporters stormed the Capitol.
