President Biden is set to unveil a nearly $5 billion investment into dozens of infrastructure projects throughout the country on Thursday during a visit to Superior, Wisconsin.

The investment targets 37 major infrastructure projects throughout the country across at least 12 states, with much of the funding going toward repairing and building new bridges. Among the investments is $600 million to replace the 1-5 bridge that connects Washington and Oregon, $372 million for the Sagamore Bridge in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and $1.06 billion to replace the Blatnik Bridge that runs between Wisconsin and Minnesota, which is near where Mr. Biden is set to appear for the announcement on Thursday. White House principal deputy press secretary Olivia Dalton called this a “full-circle moment” for the president.

      Yeah. Tons.

      I mean, I’ll be the first person to say more should be done… but that doesn’t mean good things haven’t happened. Just because our expectations are (reasonably) high doesn’t mean we can’t acknowledge some progress.

      Acknowledge the good while also demanding more.
