The Senate has held the USA populous hostage for two long years. There should have been many provisions to benefit the people that were sidelined because the Republicans were using the 'filibuster' as an abuse of power and a political gaming tool.
It is time the USA Senate 'serves' the nation rather than 'controls' it.
The House needs to 'pre-load' the Senate agenda for the next two years to stop all the intimidation planned by the next Republican minority.
The only real majority I can discern actually belongs to the Democrats in the house, so therefore, there is no legitimate 'Tea Party,' except in the history books.
