“It will provide $550 billion in new funds over 10 years to shore up roads, bridges and highways, improve internet access and modernize the nation’s power grid. The measure also includes the United States’ largest investment to prepare for climate change: $50 billion to help communities grapple with the devastating fires, floods, storms and droughts that scientists say have been worsened by global warming.”
Where is the rest of the $1T GOING?

At last, some good news coming out of Washington — this bipartisan bill was forced into limbo and made a hostage by Democrats! Months of delays while Democrats played what they had foolishly thought was a winning hand. Building America Back Better gets everyone on board.

You do realize that many, many of the Republican representatives who opposed this bill are calling those who voted for it "traitors," and are vowing that the traitors will be primaried, right?
They are calling the bill "communist" and socialism.
Why is it that so many in your party do not consider this to be "good news," as you do?
By the way, CNN was literally doing self-parody on Friday evening. At 7:00 pm, the program opened with "Dems in Disarray", about the bipartisan infrastructure bill. Five hours later, of course, it had passed the House.
"ERIN BURNETT, CNN HOST: OUTFRONT next the breaking news, Democrats in disarray tonight. The Chair of the Progressive Caucus dealing President Biden a blow, refusing to back his agenda as Pelosi is still pushing forward with a vote." https://transcripts.cnn.com/show/ebo/date/2021-11-05/segment/01
Kyle Rittenhouse, who has idolized law enforcement since he was young, arrived in Kenosha on Aug. 25, 2020, with at least one mission: to play the role of police officer and medic. The night would end with him fatally shooting two men and wounding another. https://t.co/UuM8VJQGXR
How different is "play the role of police officer" from "act as vigilante"?
He was a kid, who may have been playing a good guy in a game of cops and robbers, but his gun was real, and now two guys are dead and one is partially disabled. Maybe he's not going to turn out to be a felon/murderer under the law, but imo he owes these families big time, a "debt to society" there? And ditto or more regarding the people who encouraged and enabled him.

end drift?
Arguably, he's also a victim of gun culture. Obviously nothing even approaching an equivalence here with the men he shot and killed, but it is a reminder I think that toxic cultures also harm their "winners" -- here turning a kid who wanted to be one of the good guys into a killer. Whatever his life going forward is, it's been forever deformed by this.
Not sure what you see as non-factual here. Misguided on the kid’s part, and certainly criminal, but factual. How is this evidence of bad reporting?
The "at least one mission" line makes it seem as if that's really what he was doing there.
Mark David Chapman, who idolized The Beatles since he was young, arrived at The Dakota with at least one mission: get John Lennon's autograph. https://t.co/HnWMtrWFj0

By “at least one,” doesn’t that leave open the possibility that he had other motives? Having known lots of soldiers, they believe in that mission. And I could see many taking it too far.
I don’t buy the medic angle, but I do buy the assumed police officer role.
I am not in any way saying he was right, just that based upon many people I have come in contact with, this is very plausible, and more likely than not what he believed going in.
I couldn’t find the article, (as opposed to the tweet), but wouldn’t this be one that they label an analytical piece?
