    there is a lot of stuff to call upon the newly elected Democrats (at the state and federal level) to do and I certainly agree that subpoenas and investigations and likely some impeachments may be necessary and useful.

    But perhaps even more - and possibly more important in the long run - is for the newly elected Democrats to demonstrate by their actions that change is possible and that real people can see real results that change their lives and communities for the better (see NYC)

    governing well and appointing people who want to help others (and believe in the importance of their institutions to help do that) along with rolling back the many bad policies of the GOP will, I hope, mean that 2026 while remarkable won't be a one time occurrence but mark the beginning of a new era of US politics where far fewer states are "solid Red" and where the government works (full stop). Which includes making it easier, not harder, to vote - and showing that engagement is worthwhile.
