Since a budget was not passed, Dems can use 2 budget reconciliations to pass legislation this fiscal year instead of one. They can still deliver plenty for the American people this fiscal year, then use the third one next fiscal year.

These 3 budget reconciliations, along with executive orders, can do a lot without Repugs. Govern well and deliver as much as possible before the 2022 midterms.
