the 119th Senate to begin that in 2025 and beyond.

But as Jamie Raskin says, first things first:
1. Win on Nov 5
2. Defend that win through Jan 6 2025
3. Restore the Voting Rights Act
4. Restore Roe v Wade

-- restructure the Supreme Court,
-- set action deadlines for the Judicial Conference on ethics violations, and
-- increase funding for expanded courts and judgeships
