Behold, everyone — the man who will be America's first Jewish President, opening the fully repaired stretch of I-95 in Philadelphia less than two weeks after it was wrecked in an accident. (He happens to be Josh Shapiro, the current Democratic Governor of Pennsylvania.)
The repairs were supposed to take months, so Shapiro and the union dudes who worked 24/7 to fix the highway have every right to bask in their accomplishment today. And Democrats across the country should celebrate them, too. When you elect people who care about government and believe in using it for the greater good, they get stuff done for you.
Compare that to former GOP Governor Tom Corbett, who back in February 2014 didn't make sure the state treated the Pennsylvania Turnpike before an epic snowstorm, resulting in a 100-car pileup.
Not to mention the nonsense that Kevin McCarthy's ridiculous House of Representatives is occupying itself with these days. Just for the record, the previous (Democratic) Congress passed the CHIPS and Science Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the post-pandemic American Rescue Plan. We enacted gun control measures, supported aid to Ukraine, protected marriage equality, reformed the Electoral Count Act, made Juneteenth a federal holiday, and actually accomplished Infrastructure Week. All in just two years. Whew!
So congratulations, Team Shapiro and friends. You've earned the kudos. (That includes the folks at the Pocono Raceway, who helped blow-dry the painted lane lines on the asphalt!) We cats PURR.
