I think congress should start thinking about abolishing trickle economics and return to a progressive tax code FDR style.

Democrats need to remember that they are the inheritors of the New Deal.
They need to channel Francis Perkins, FDR, and Eleanor Roosevelt to deliver for the American people.

as a historic reminder, the last time the democrats did this, they ran the country from FDR to until Nixon, it took the republicans actual generations to recover
I can not stress enough how EVERY New Yorker saw potholes on their block get filled, or snow getting shoveled. Even as a non-parent, I know about 2k and 3k. We get warnings for EVERY big weather event. It really does feel like, "oh!! Is this what the government was meant to do all along?!?"
I suspect the real place for Democrats to solidify this win will be at the state and local level. That's where Ds have the chance of IMMEDIATELY making change and helping people in their everyday lives. Push your local pols to Mamdanify the shit out of the entire country, y'all. And BRAG about it.

He warned that hungry, jobless people are the foundation from which dictatorships grow and that true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence.

As someone who was instrumental in helping to build out Harry Reid's online comms, progressive outreach, positioning himself as an FDR Dem - I can tell you he would be disgusted by all of this (someone who came into our orbit in Reid's closing years to get a ride on our wagon).
Adam Jentleson of Searchlight Institute recommended in his Ezra Klein interview today that Democrats embrace spanking children as a "a very powerful signal" that connects with voters "on a values basis."

It ain't all Gettysburg Addresses and Fireplace Talks, guys.
(Not that either Lincoln or FDR would've had much use for spending precious party resources on "independent journalism" beyond the appearance of basic autonomy required to get voters listening, mind.)
