Don't put that CIA stuff out there - no one needs that kind of stealthy activity (and CIA isn't supposed to be dealing in domestic issues anyway.)

I am hoping that there will be a political or legal occasion in the near future that contributes to a national Schadenfreude celebration regarding the failure and final downfall of Donald John Trump.

If there are 51 Democratic senators then the VP doesn't need to vote except in tie-breakers - this could cancel out a "NO" vote from either Manchin or Sinema, but not both of them. It might mean they could turn off the filibuster at least long enough to vote through the voting rights legislation they've worked on (and watered down for Manchin, who still wouldn't vote for it - he is a Democrat in name only).

The congress and Biden need to overturn the situation created with the Citizens United decision from the Supreme Court - the big and dark money needs to come out of politics. And there need to be national voting standards, even though states run their own elections. And finally, they need to codify women's rights as far as access to abortion services without the meddling of politicians and religious groups and anyone else who has no business in people's personal private business.
