    Most likely answer is a fairly large COVID relief act, perhaps on the scale of CARES. It’ll be full of slush fund money for the ownership class but us rubes will get a bigger slice of the pie than Mitch was gonna let through.

    After that jury is out. Could see another Rube Goldberg healthcare plan like the ACA (they’ll kill the public option again, just like under Obama imo). Could also see an infrastructure bill that’s loaded with no-bid public-private partnerships for the donor corporations. They’ll greenwash it with something like idk- mandating a bunch of zero carbon buildings or electrified private rail or whatever. No carbon tax or cap and trade, Manchin would dump that on sight.

    DC and Puerto Rico statehood will probably be on the table but consider me skeptical they happen. Oh - and Stephen Breyer will step down from SCOTUS and be replaced by a black woman with the exact same judicial philosophy.
