Joyce discusses filling the gap between President Biden’s vision of what the American economy can become in the next decade and what a plan to achieve that vision would look like.

Joyce is an enthusiastic supporter of building better roads, rural broadband, better air transit systems and more good paying career-jobs. But there is a right way and a wrong way to build a 21st century American Infrastructure.

Your thoughts and prayers just make me angrier, GOP Senators. Take one or two or three tiny, tiny steps forward toward reducing the scourge of mass casualty gun violence in America.

Joyce talks about the new social safety net entitlement programs that are buried in the fine print of the 600 page COVID Relief package.

Joyce talks about the importance of rebuilding trust with the American people and among their elected representatives. Joe Biden is risking establishing that trust with proposals for a $15 minimum wage and immigration reform on his first full day in office – proposals he knows will go nowhere.
