Summary
President Biden is in Pittsburgh, today, to unveil a new infrastructure plan that would invest trillions in the country’s roads, bridges, affordable housing, broadband, and manufacturing industry. We explain how Biden might fund the bill and how earmarks might come into play.
Today is the Trans Day of Visibility, and it comes at a moment when the human rights of trans kids and adults are under attack in states across the country. On Monday, Republican state lawmakers in Arkansas passed a bill to ban gender-affirming health care for trans youth.
And in headlines: Biden aims to diversify the federal bench, Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz responds to a sex trafficking investigation, and Major Biden bites again.

| 0:18.6 | Yeah, it's a tense environment and if you're not biting, you're being bitten. |

| 1:30.5 | his support for workers unions and infrastructure in particular. Also, Andy Warhol's dad worked |
