It's Thursday, April 29th. I'm Heila Hughes.

And I'm getting a rest like this is what a day where we are figuring out the politest way to ask our apps to stop tracking us.

Yeah, I want to let them down easy, you know, they do mean a lot to me.

I love my tracking apps.

On today's show, Rubicon's Brian Boitler helps us assess President Biden's first 100 days, but first the latest.

To win that competition for the future, in my view, we also need to make a once in a generation investment in our families and our children.

That's why I've introduced the American Families Plan tonight.

That was Biden making the pitch for his new American Families Plan yet another spending and tax plan as part of his first address to Congress.

The vibes were still very pandemicy, double massed in distance.

It was like an eighth of the size of a normal congressional address.

And it was certainly a reminder that this isn't over yet, but back to the plan.

Yeah, so on that plan, it is the administration's latest approach to basically getting us out of the pandemic, the major focus of the start of this administration.

It is a $1.8 trillion plan that would, among other things, provide education funding covering two free years of community college and pre-K for all three and four year olds.

It would also fund a paid family and medical leave program, extend a child tax credit, although not make it permanent, and extend subsidies for ACA premiums.

And the White House has said it would be paid for it with income tax rate increases for the top 1% and increasing the capital gains rate.

But also it'd be paid for by beefing up IRS enforcement, which it thinks would help bring in a lot of money from corporations.

And this is all in addition to the previously announced infrastructure plan.

There are a lot of big packages this administration is dealing with.

Now Biden also spoke about immigration, climate change, foreign policy, and voting rights among other legislative priorities, and of course the vaccination campaign.

Today, 90% of Americans now live within five miles of a vaccination site.

Everyone, over the age of 16, everyone is now eligible to get vaccinated right now, right away.

Go get vaccinated America. Go and get the vaccination. They're available.
