2. Absolutely. How 2026 turns out will bode well or ill for a 2028 trifecta.

If we win it, the Democratic majority of the 121st Congress can


— fast track judicial review with the goal of expanding the US Supreme Court to 13 justices;
— change rules to end the Senate filibuster
— require any congress persons on Standing Committees to pass classification background checks
-- pass the Medicare For All Act


2029: President Newsom would sign 10 congressional bills into law that would
— rescind Citizens United
— rescind Dobbs,
— expand the Voting Rights Act,
-- establish the Medicare For All Act
— establish comprehensive Immigration law that includes paths to American citizenship for all immigrants;
— clearly define domestic terrorism and its penalties.
— pass a comprehensive gun ban on military weapons and universal background checks
-- amend the Patriot Act to remove the US as a "battleground"
— require all offshore money to return to the U.S. Treasury on penalty of total confiscation
-- amend the Patriot Act


The 121st Congress would pass 4 amendments for 50-state ratification:
— a 28th Amendment on Presidential Immunity that bans immunity for “official acts” subject to criminal and civil law, and
— a 29th Amendment as the ERA Amendment,
— a 30th Amendment that a) rescinds Article II’s establishment of the Electoral College; and b) defines election wins by a national popular vote that's certified by secretaries of state, state governors, and CISA,
— a 31st Amendment that guarantees the right to a free public education in every state for all persons under age 18

A Democrat can dream...
