It’s my opinion we’re going to see a swell of moderation in both houses. People are worn out with the political bickering.

Trump’s economic and foreign policies benefited Americans of all stripes. It was the man himself who lost his re-election. Chuck and Nancy aren’t getting the mandate they believe to burn it down and the Squad is no where near as influential as the media wants everyone to think.

All of this talk about stacking the courts and giving statehood to PR and DC will never get traction. Wait and see.

Packing the Supreme Court won't happen unless the Supreme Court makes a unpopular and drastic decision like overturning Obamacare in the next year. And I think that's unlikely.

Adding DC and PR as states was already in process during the last Congress, hard to imagine why it wouldn't go through now.  There's no good reason not to other than placating Republicans. Both territories have asked multiple times through popular votes and both have the i's dotted and t's crossed on their applications.
