While there's a huge mess to clean up, we shouldn't ignore the opportunities afforded us by controlling the presidency and both houses of Congress. Fuck bipartisanship. Ram the progressive agenda through and let the Republicans gnash their teeth and whine. Biden may be the president of all the people, but Congress belongs to the Democratic Party, and we should act like it.
