Furthermore, over a hundred non-controversial house bills were passed bipartisan by McConnell's senate. It's the others that he's blocking, but house Democrats passing them is not nothing.

On January 21 we'll pick up and start reconciling with what Democrats who now control the senate produce -- IF enough people vote for us. Including especially the giant package to battle Republican corruption and save our democracy that the house passed first thing.
