Now that the midterm elections are over, the federal goverenment is going to have to govern. That means with Trump, with a war hanging fire, and with tariff mayhem.

 EmptyWheel has an item suggesting Hakim Jeffries will be okay, and Congress will upgrade a few notches. Let us hope for the best. Link -

Strange times will sort out to more level ground over the next month. 

But it cannot go back to business as usual. There has to be movement to giving people what the want.

Which is what they deserve. Trump messed everything up big time but that and the voting allow for progress to happen. Change for the better. But there is a mess to resolve.

Hope for the best nationwide and worldwide. It is a unique chance. But it is not a time to forgive.

We are past that. It is a time to improve while demanding accountability for all the harm. Trump has to face justice. It is long overdue.
