On January 3, the 120th United States Congress will be sworn in. The Democratic majority will inherit control of the legislative body in a country battered by the Trump administration's corruption and skyrocketing costs. The American people have given them a clear mandate and an urgent responsibility to repair the damage. The work of fulfilling that responsibility and fighting for a better future needs to begin immediately. Not a year from now, not six months from now, I mean right away.
