Blue tsunami meets red tape

A blue wave sweeps over the Capitol.

Democratic wins in the midterms exceeded all polling and all expectations. The Democratic Party is likely to top 260 seats in the House and is looking at an increasingly likely 56 in the Senate. Democrats won every single state-wide race in Texas, including governor, lieutenant governor and senator. Kansas elected its first Democratic senator in nearly a century. The scale of the election results across the country is nothing short of breathtaking.

Does the election represent a major political reassignment, with Democrats emerging as the dominant party nationally? Or will it turn out to be a blip? Much will depend on what successes the new-found Democratic majority in Congress can show for ordinary people's lives -- even as Trump shows every sign of proceeding to ignore Congress entirely.

We'll start with a short film about corruption in the Trump regime (Corruptionland) then proceed to a group presentation on what Dems in Congress can and cannot (or cannot likely) do about it.

RSVP or just show up! Grab yourself a drink or some food before joining us in the meeting room at John Scotts Linné, up one flight of stairs in the back. If you're attending online, the link will come with the RSVP.
