9. More than just legislation, much more

First pack SCOTUS (Expand to at least 12 seats) and all the courts. Create new courts/districts, and shunt all of Mitch’s cram downed judges to traffic court forever.

New AG should destroy the memo saying a president can’t be indicted.

Next, initiate Nuremberg style tribunals for the crimes of Trump and his enablers, right down to the contractors who enabled the kids in cages atrocities. Resurrecting the Independent Counsel law may be necessary.

Next, tighten the Laws around the Emergency Declarations ACT, War Powers ACT, and the abuse of executive privilege.

THEN, Biden and Congress can tackle health care (the momentum will be in favour of universal single payer), income inequality, green new deal, immigration, infrastructure, etc. They will have to work quickly - they will really only have a year at most, because the new legislation/programs will need a year to prove themselves before the midterms.

Of course, as soon as President Biden lifts his hand off the bible, he should turn and sign a directive releasing Trump’s taxes and repealing all of his EO’s.
