Here we are, finally with a Democrat in the White House, Democrats controlling the Senate and the House, Fox News being sued for billions in defamation lawsuits, Donald Trump banned from Twitter — and impeached for a second time. And maniacal conspiracy loon Lou Dobbs was fired from Fox Business!

I feel like I woke up and the world just changed.

And yet, there’s the GOP madness and dangerous QAnon cultists taking over the party.

Here’s an openthread for you to jump in with your thoughts on what’s going on and what you’re up to for the weekend. And anything in the news or your life is certainly something we’re interested in hearing about, so fire away.

President Biden @POTUS

This morning, I met with House Democratic leaders to discuss the American Rescue Plan. As I said during the meeting: this isn’t just about numbers, it’s about people’s lives. Folks are really hurting, and we need to move quickly to deliver the relief they need.

But also, if you want to jump in on these questions I posed, I’d love to hear from you all about what you’re thinking at little of two weeks of the Biden presidency. We’re in a historic time, as the Democrats are moving forward on the covid relief bill at a decent speed, after having impeached Trump and having removed dangerous nutbag Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committees. So what do you all think?

I’m hunkering down in New York for more snow — after 17 inches earlier this week — and just making the best of winter in the pandemic. Maybe I’ll watch some TV but honestly I feel like we’ve watched everything. So, if you have some ideas on what you’re watching, that’s always good too!

Join in the discussion, and I’ll be jumping in over the weekend.
