The 2026 midterms aren’t just another November showdown. They’re a verdict on whether the conservative gains of the past two years – border enforcement, spending reform, RFK Jr.’s bold overhaul of our health agencies – get preserved or tossed into the progressive incinerator. Politicians love telling us every election is existential. Usually, that’s fundraising talk. But this time, Democrats went ahead and published their actual playbook. Eighty-four pages of it.

For months, pundits have speculated about what a Democratic House majority would chase first. Kitchen-table inflation relief? Safer streets? A serious border plan? Not even close. An internal agenda document has surfaced that spells out, line by line, what Democrats intend to bulldoze through the moment they get their hands on the Speaker’s gavel. The priorities are revealing – and not in a flattering way.

From The Post Millennial:

Democrats have released an agenda that includes promising to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act within the first 100 hours if they take control of Congress back from Republicans. The proposed legislation would establish nationwide protections for abortion access and override many existing state restrictions.

In an 84-page agenda obtained by Politico, House Democrats outline a series of health care policies they plan to enact if they regain a majority in Congress. The policies also suggest “reclaiming MAHA” and appealing to supporters of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Among the proposals are measures to regulate healthcare companies, require hospitals to charge the same prices as physicians for certain services, and remove Trump administration protections for glyphosate, an herbicide.

So, their first hundred hours in power – not first hundred days, hours – and the headliner isn’t the economy. It’s not national security. It’s a federal abortion mandate. Honestly, the candor is almost refreshing. Almost.

A federal abortion mandate before the ink dries

The Women’s Health Protection Act would steamroll the democratic will of every state that passed pro-life protections after Dobbs v. Jackson. Mandatory waiting periods that give women time to consider an irreversible choice? Wiped out. Ultrasound requirements that let a mother see her unborn child? Abolished. Pre-viability abortion bans approved by duly elected state legislatures? Overridden by a single piece of federal legislation.

The bill’s sponsor, Representative Judy Chu, didn’t mince words: “We cannot have true equality in America without reproductive freedom. No one should have more rights in California than in Texas.”

Pay close attention to that second sentence. The entire design of American federalism hinges on the idea that states can govern differently. Citizens in Austin and citizens in Sacramento are supposed to chart their own paths through their own elected representatives. That’s not a flaw – it’s the whole point. Chu is looking at the foundational architecture of our republic and calling it a problem to be solved.

The great MAHA heist

Then there’s the audacity of Democrats vowing to “reclaim MAHA.” Remember, these are the same people who dragged RFK Jr. through his confirmation hearings, mocked his supporters as conspiracy theorists, and fought his health freedom agenda at every turn.

Now they want the branding. Cute.

Here’s what “reclaiming MAHA” actually looks like in their document: reversing Kennedy’s vaccine transparency policies and stripping away protections against glyphosate, the herbicide Kennedy’s team has put under a microscope. They don’t want the movement. They want the marketing. It’s like slapping a “farm fresh” label on a box of processed junk food.

The spending binge nobody’s talking about

Tucked behind the culture war fireworks, the agenda also proposes expanding both Medicare and Medicaid, layering new regulations onto hospitals, and pumping more federal dollars into scientific research. Each proposal wears a lab coat of respectability. Stacked together, they amount to a massive expansion of Washington’s grip on your healthcare – bankrolled, naturally, by taxpayers who are already watching their paychecks shrink.

This is the exact governing philosophy that American voters rejected in 2024. More bureaucracy. More spending. More unelected officials standing between you and your doctor.

Democrats have done conservatives an unintentional service here. They didn’t hide behind poll-tested slogans or gauzy promises about “bringing people together.” They published a blueprint – 84 pages that tell you precisely what they’ll do with power: federalize abortion on demand, hijack a health movement they despise, and balloon the government at your expense. The only real question heading into November is whether the Americans who fought for these hard-won victories will show up to defend them.

Key Takeaways

• Democrats’ top legislative priority is a federal abortion mandate overriding pro-life state laws nationwide.
• Their plan to “reclaim MAHA” actually reverses every RFK Jr. health reform it pretends to champion.
• The 84-page agenda proposes sweeping Medicare, Medicaid, and regulatory expansion funded by taxpayers.
• The 2026 midterms will decide whether these conservative policy victories survive or get dismantled.
