BIDEN GOES BIG WITH $2trillion PLAN FOR JOBS AND INFRASTRUCTURE
PITTSBURGH (AP) — President Joe Biden on Wednesday outlined a $2.3 trillion plan to reengineer the nation’s infrastructure over the next eight years in what he billed as “a once in a generation investment in America.” https://t.co/0FMP9dZ3LW

President Biden unveils his $2 trillion infrastructure proposal: "It's time to build our economy from the bottom up and from the middle out, not the top down…Because Wall Street didn't build this country. You, the great middle class, built this country" https://t.co/4wQKY7diia pic.twitter.com/r0JONUduCL

It’s time to finally rebuild American infrastructure & invest in a clean energy future—all while creating millions of good-paying jobs. I’m going to work with @POTUS & my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to pass the bold infrastructure plan we need.https://t.co/PKJqan6O4v

With @POTUS's infrastructure plan, Amtrak will create jobs and improve equity across the country, and we are ready to deliver. America needs a rail network that offers frequent, reliable, sustainable and equitable train service. Now is our time, let’s make rail the solution.

Historically, infrastructure has been bipartisan.
— President Biden (@POTUS) March 31, 2021
There is no reason it can’t be bipartisan again.
The divisions of the moment shouldn’t stop us from doing right by the future.
I think is the greatest mystery of the Trump presidency. Trump likes to build stuff, especially big stuff. Bannon said they were going to go big on infrastructure. Trump would have been able to get Dem votes, create jobs, play to his base. Not doing it was a huge unforced error. https://t.co/qwBeCLvBvE

Bystander explains why he challenged Derek Chauvin, moments after George Floyd's body was removed from scene. https://t.co/a0gST7xVF1
— NBC News (@NBCNews) March 31, 2021
Among the many important things the Chauvin trial has already exposed is the grief, trauma and in some cases guilt many of the witnesses have experienced. A number of them are children. The ripple effects of injustice are wide.
— S.E. Cupp (@secupp) March 31, 2021
It’s striking, how much guilt many of the witnesses in the trial of ex-cop Chauvin feel over George Floyd’s death. Chauvin has exhibited no remorse.

Charles McMillian, who tried to speak to George Floyd as officers first tried to put him in a police car and then later as Floyd shouted for his mama while Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck, just broke down on the witness stand.

Everyone involved in this report, from Munira Mirza (head of policy unit), to Tony Sewell, to Boris Johnson himself, has been critical of concept of institutional racism and argued racism is culture of "victimhood". And guess what it concludes…https://t.co/fjsfo5QeVz
