@rogerschutte If you caucus with the Democrats, yes. Same for Bernie Sanders.
@daringfireball Two major takeaways:
1) Corruption is going to be much harder now that Democrats have supoena power.
2) The margin of victory means that Democrats are not going to be held hostage by a few fringe whacko's.
Lets document the corruption for the next two years, and then (after 2028) pass the kind of anti-corruption legislation that we haven't seen since after Nixon resigned.
I pray that Lincoln will always be able to gaze at Lee's house.

@daringfireball yep. now we just gotta get the centrists like Jeffries and Schumer out of leadership, so they cannot nerf momentum the way Biden’s administration failed to meet the moment.
@daringfireball I guess midterm holiday parties aren’t a thing, are they?
@ccunning I say why not?
@daringfireball You counting my Angus King as a Democrat? (The Democrats went from out of power in Washington to a massive majority in the House and an apparent 55-45 or even 56-44 majority in the Senate.)
