This is a big deal but can take many forms, and the form matters.
News: Rep Adam Smith, next chair of House Armed Services Committee, tells me Dems will vote to cut off funding for Trump's Iran war.
"I think it’ll be one of the first things we do," he says.
Critically, he says this will have support of Dem leadership:

Just before the election I predicted that most of MAGA's biggest players in the House would go down to defeat. That happened: Scott Perry, Derrick Van Orden, Max Miller all lost.
Now Lauren Boebert could lose too, which would be the cherry on top.

Also important: Rep Adam Smith, next Armed Services Committee chair, says a deep investigation of Trump's illegal boat bombings is coming.
Crucially, defunding these boat strikes is also on the table:

There was a big argument On Here during the campaign about how/whether Democrats can/should talk about immigration in the context of political campaigns.
Are we going to revisit that debate now in light of the results? Any lessons learned? (A real question.)
This elex should lead us to revisit the argument over how Ds can/should engage the immigration issue. As I argued during the campaign, Talarico found a thoughtful, creative way to be pro-immigrant in deep red state. It worked: NYT had him *ahead* on it.
