Welcome back to the ModState Podcast and Happy New Year!

It is with sadness that an episode about insurrection in DC is posted. As Nate says in episode " I am not shocked but I am surprised." Much has happened over the holiday hiatus and the team was hoping to kick of 2021 with a discussion about who holds or doesn't hold majority control. Instead of discussing the Democratic majority at length much of the discussion surrounded the insurrection and the president of the United States.
