Obama actually showed up on her home district in Staten Island after superstorm Sandy wrecked havoc. How often does a president go there?
Then helped to push for disaster relief and mitigation such as barriers to prevent future flooding.
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis likes to talk a good game about the lack of democracy in places like Cuba but when it came to certify the most transparent free and fair election she voted no.

Rep Young Kim (R-CA) has placed herself in a precarious position with this vote. In 2020 she narrowly beat the incumbent, Democrat Gil Cisneros, by 1.2% in a district that went for Biden by over 10 points. Kim likes to portray herself as a moderate although she votes with her caucus 96% of the time. It will be difficult for Kim to maintain this pretense after voting against the bi-partisan infrastructure bill.

New York Times generously published a list of every Representative’s vote. I know I’ll be watching for liar and traitor Tom Tifffany (R-WI) to start taking credit for projects funded by the bill he opposed. He and fellow traitor/fraud Ron Johnson are all but guaranteed to be first in line with golden shovels.

We’ve only got about 10 repubs in VT (actually we have some but the party is almost invisible except for the Gov who is one of those old school 60’s kind of Republicans.) 
Plus, their stupidity is showing.
Brandon is an artsy town with galleries, craft shops, restaurants, and the like. Their main street was completely rebuilt in the last few years, along with the dam in the center of the village. They got a new park along the river in the village and the town green was fixed up. Mostly done now, but still some pretty good private construction happening - new gas station w/ EV units, restoration of a bunch of historic buildings, renovated town offices. I was there last week.

There are vast swaths of WV that have no cell service. None. And you just don’t know when you’re gonna hit those spots. It becomes a survival game.

Speaking of infrastructure, I just happened to stumble across this quote from Churchill, in his younger days as a “small Navy” reformist.
“I see little glory in an Empire which can rule the waves and is unable to flush its sewers.”
Actually, the whole thing is a good read:

Yes. Absolutely. But not just selling it. Let’s try explaining it. Something that Democrats don’t always do very well.
Here’s the fact: Under this Act, each and every project will have come from a request from the local government for that project. So if there is any socialism in a Republican District, it is socialism requested by a Republican county council. Now, that’s socialism that even Republicans can champion!
Maybe Biden will even congratulate the socialist government of Dupage County, Illinois. Or the brilliant socialist proposals of Alabama Governor Kay Ivey.

Look, if people don’t want the help of the feds, maybe stop giving them the help that they didn’t vote for getting.

Like that famous Bridge to Nowhere that a certain former half-term governor of Alaska supposedly stopped. Only she didn’t.
