Hello Friday! As if on cue, our infrastructure continues to literally crumble, and the pittance put forward to fix the myriad issues BBB would have helped to ameliorate remain critical to our country’s future. The Biden administration is being pressured to make the moves that the majority of Americans support, come hell or high water—and the latter is coming, thanks to climate change. Republicans continue forward with their unpopular culture wars, attacking teachers, education, and our nation’s intelligence. And the Biden administration needs to learn one lesson quick: Democrats have the country’s popular mandate, and it won’t be served by waiting around to hear which way the GOP will spin their fascism.
