I never knew about this. My gosh. This is unbelievably heartbreaking and infuriating. PDQ So a friend found out she was adopted last year. She let me know where she was adopted from. Innocently, I did a search with location, year and a how would you locate birth family type wording. My gosh I wasn’t ready. Her mother will not tell her anything and her dad had passed away. I cannot remember how she found out, but I said to her that when she is ready to ask me what I’ve found that may help. She isn’t local to me, but I’ve been holding myself back from contacting her brother to let him manage the information and knowing this is a possibility. It is a lot to consider and so I just bury the information.

Pete just said the infrastructure package is "fully paid for" by tax hikes on the wealthy and corporations. That's sure to garner eleventy clarifying follow ups.

Chad is very concerned about the concept of a high speed cross country rail line. Pete is like, "Calm down. There are lots of things people want, but bottom line is the goal to provide Americans with high quality, reliable transportation"

But why raise taxes on the corporations?
Pete: as opposed to raising them on middle class families? No. "The corporate rate will still be lower than it has been at any time in my lifetime" (nice humblebrag about your youth hon) lollll

Ed O'Keefe: when can cruise ships cruise? Why can airlines fly and they can't?
Pete: it's about safety and responsibility. Airplanes and cruise ships aren't the same thing. We really want to see cruise lines sailing by mid summer and CDC is working on guidance for them to do that safely.

That's a great question: what are you doing to avoid permitting delays in getting the much needed funding allocated?
Pete: it's important to move efficiently and expediently but with environmental protection and safety in mind. We're also looking at both "shovel ready" and "shovel worthy" projects and some of those are through the permitting process, they just need the funding.

Pete: China invests more than us in infrastructure, period. We can step up or we can get left behind. That's not an antagonist statement about the Chinese people, bit we don't accept America being 13th in the world, not should we. And if we squawk about China, maybe Republicans will fuckin listen.

Kaitlan: have any Republicans offered alternatives to raising the tax rate?
Pete: not serious or well thought out ones

Does the administration support a congestion charge in NYC?
Pete: we're interested in the results of the environmental impact studies on that, and the revenue opportunities, but we have to work with stakeholders in localities and not just dictate from Washington

POTUS sent Congress his discretionary spending requests. 'reinvesting in our country's resilience and strength,' outlines only part of the agenda, the rest of the budget is coming.
