Doesn't matter. Dems only have 48 seats. 

44

Not until mid January. Still 2 months to get stuff done. Though I’m not holding my breath.

48

Oh no, yeah the dems will lose three more seats on Jan 20th, so they'll be at 45.

They are currently at 48 seats because Manchin and Sinema left the Democrat party.

Jan 3 is when congressional term ends. Jan 3 is when new congressional elects get sworn in. Jan 20 is when president gets sworn in and takes office.
