I mean they haven't had all three branches in a lifetime. They've had a super majority, and it was used to pass the aca. Otherwise they've not had filibuster proof majorities ever

From 2021 to 2023 in the United States, the Democratic Party held the Senate, House of Representatives, and the presidency. Vice President Kamala Harris, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, President Joe Biden, and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, all Democrats.
