It presents a slight problem when the ones they're bringing in to deal with the shitty politicians are the people who paid them to be shitty in the first place.

What? The Dems have the Senate right now no?
No, they don't. Dems have 47 seats currently, 4 Independents caucus with the DNC to select majority leader who calls votes.
In a month it changes over to GOP majority control because last election more people voted for Republicans.
If any legislation gets introduced that the GOP doesn't like, the GOP can filibuster it and it wont pass without 60 votes.
That includes budget bills that allow the entire US Military to operate and all of its members to get salaries and healthcare coverage, as well as general budgets for the rest of the federal government including congress, airports, and regulatory offices. Thats why shitty budgets with antitrans policy is getting passed.
