Wow, it's finally Infrastructure Week! The nation knows that because a). President Biden announced his $2 trillion plan to (literally) Build Back Better today, and b). Secretary Pete said it was.
If you're a scarred survivor of four years of Donald Trump, you know that infrastructure was something they were always promising and never delivering on. Like the Republican healthcare plan. So, this is fun!
It's also the International Transgender Day of Visibility. We cats are observing it with scratchy kisses and lots of support, tempered by the knowledge that Republicans around the country are suddenly making trans people (and particularly trans women) public enemy #1 with cruel and draconian legislation.
On the other hand, Biden has just reversed the Trump rules against trans troops, and the Pentagon is busy turning everything around 180 degrees. Which is a good thing.
It's probably reasonable to think that the Biden infrastructure plan will happen. The Republican Party is in such disarray that it should change its name to something that starts with a D so the media get to write their usual lazy, alliterative headlines. No Republicans voted for the COVID rescue plan, but they barely mounted any pushback to it, either. (And as noted, some have even gleefully claimed credit.) They've mostly spent their time on Dr. Seuss, jungle cruises at the border, and "protecting" women's sports from those evil trans folks.
So all in all, not a bad day. And we haven't even mentioned Matt Gaetz. But how do you know he's in trouble? Easy-peasey: The GOP is screaming about Hunter Biden again. We cats PURR.
