76. # 1 thing. Do not celebrate.

Get to work! Should have a long list of things to immediately undo or correct. Take the oath, go to the White House, end the secret service protection for Trump and his family (they made enough money off of the American taxpayers to afford their own protection), and then start signing executive orders. Immediately freeze out those employed during the Trump administration until they can be properly vetted.

Maybe have a celebration at the 1 year mark. Might have made some progress by then
