Not clear who you are talking about. Senate norms and traditions are dropping like flies and with the Vandals at the ramparts it's fairly important to protect Social Security, Medicare, the expanded Medicaid, and of course public libraries...Federal minimum wage laws won't create a living wage, organized labor might. It's so much easier though to rail at politicians than it is to organize, either consumer or worker unions, almost seems like a performative act, like theatrics;)
