Well, you know, I think one thing that we saw was there was a remarkable speed at a Donald Trump move to break, right? There needs to be a remarkable speed that the Democrats move to build. And we cannot be the party of no one slow. We've got to be the party of yes and now. And that means we need to come on with the question is, what are we going to do in the first 100 hours, not the first 100 days, the first 100 hours to be to provide relief to the people of this country. And for those who are going to Congress, that includes things like making sure we can stop illegal foreign wars that nobody asked for, but that everybody is paying for. That means things like we need to stop these illegal tariffs that even judges have ruled illegal, but we have a Congress right now that is not interested in being leaders, they're interested in being cheerleaders, and allowing the president to break the law right in front of their face. That we need to have a Congress that is going to make sure that we're not kicking people off of healthcare.
