https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_acts_of_the_111th_United_States_Congress#Public_laws

111th Congress was the last time dems had a supermajority(and that only lasted 72 days before procedure resultes in them losing it) and was one of the most prolific congresses since the 89th under Johnson. It was also the last time dems had a true majority in both houses, as manchin and sinema were both dems in name only and really just moderate conservatives

So I'd say given their record when given actual majorities and not faux majorities being held up by filibusters and DINOs, yeah, they'll get something done. As fast as Washington procedure allows them.
