Occupy Lafayette Park & The Midterms: W/ Guests, Philippe Reines & Tiffany Bond

Normally, Lafayette Park is one of those pretty, history-drenched spots in Washington, where you walk around wondering whose footsteps you might be following. You’re right across from the White House, close enough that you can practically see into the front windows. Now, though, the most important thing to know about this D.C. spot is what Occupy Lafayette Park is?—?because the square might just be full of anti-Trump protestors. Courtesy, @bustle

The elections held on Tuesday, November 6, are the first midterms under President Donald Trump, and the stakes for both parties are incredibly high. A fired up Democratic base threatens Republicans’ unified control of federal government?—?and the outcome could have lasting consequences for the remainder of President Trump’s presidency and his legacy.

If Democrats do well and flip one or both chambers of Congress, they could slow down Trump and the Republicans’ legislative agenda?—?or open up serious investigations into Trump, his administration, and his associates. But if the GOP retains control of both chambers, they’ll have a shot at introducing sweeping policy changes that could impact our nation for decades to come. Courtesy, @voxdotcom
