Yeah, I mean, the minority party can sometimes, particularly in the Senate, slow things down procedurally. But it can't, like, change the math and the makeup of the structure of power that is faced right now by Democrats on Capitol Hill.

There's also something to be said for like, you know, there's a lot of opposition to what the Trump administration is doing, obviously, among Democrats and grassroots supporters in and outside of the Beltway. But it is like exactly what the president talked about doing in his campaign. And so Democrats navigating that space is. Right.

Yeah, there's this big question mark about, like, who is the resistance figure here? And as you were saying, Domenico, you know, like, so far, it doesn't necessarily seem like it's Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, leader of the House Democrats, is still sort of, I think, finding footing on best messaging practices going forward.

I think an interesting thing that we can all look for in March is when the joint address, when the president addresses a joint session of Congress is, There's always a Democratic response to that. And who they pick to give that response I think is going to be really telling about the type of messaging that they're looking to sort of sharpen going forward.

Yeah. And I think like, you know, for all this conversation about like, what is the messaging and who is the messenger from Democrats? You know, a couple of members I spoke with were like, you know, we could get a little grace. It has been a couple of weeks and there is a fire hose of information and action coming from Pennsylvania Avenue.

I think it is going to take time for Democrats to sort of solidify a message. And a lot of that depends on what happens with the courts and also like what continued actions Trump takes by executive order. What happens with this budget reconciliation, which is a topic for another day, but that is also underway this week. And yeah, it's a long road ahead for Democrats.
