For real, I'd respect the self-awareness if it wasn't preceded by years of non-stop medical misinformation.

The last times Dems had this level of control was from 2009 - 2011.

I'll assume what you're referring to is during Joe Biden's time in office where the did not have an effective majority as a single defector could block Congress.

On the opening day of the One Hundred Seventeenth Congress, the U.S. Senate was comprised of 51 Republicans, 46 Democrats, 2 Independents (who caucused with the Democrats), and 1 vacancy. No candidate received a majority of votes in the general election for Georgia's class 2 seat or in the special election for Georgia's class 3 seat. Runoff elections for both of the state's Senate seats were scheduled for January 5, 2021. Democratic candidates won both elections. Following the inauguration of Vice President Kamala D. Harris on January 20, 2021, the Senate had a Democratic majority, comprised of 50 Republicans, 48 Democrats, and 2 Independents (who caucus with the Democrats). The Vice President is able to cast tie-breaking votes in the Senate. See United States Senate, "Party Division,"

I have trouble explaining this to a lot of people one of the biggest threats of climate change is the loss of arable land for food production and stable environments from more sensitive food production.
