Prosecution of the numerous bad actors in the financial sector, fully reinstate the regulation of banks repealed by the Commodity Futures Modernization Act and Graham-Leach-Bliley.

Force the retirement of the most conservative judges on the Supreme Court (assuming that in this fantasy world I have the political mojo to make this happen as well). Replace them with justices who will roll back the myriad abrogations of individual rights and freedoms and expansion of the rights of corporations conducted by the court over the last few decades. Appoint like-minded federal judges.

Legalize and decriminalize most if not all drugs, one of the most common excuses for the above abrogations of individual rights and freedoms.

Do... something about the two ten-year-long wars going on. FUCK I don't even know what at this point. Send everyone in Guantanamo Bay home, unless they were A. actually demonstrably guilty of something, B. not tortured.

Break up the high concentrations of media ownership that resulted from the Telecom Act of 1996.

IDK, lots and lots of things, it is probably sufficiently obvious by now that I spend A LOT of time imagining what I would do if I could make the government pass any legislation I wanted.
