specifically pragsing the money going to her state of west virginia to elevate a highway to prevent flood damage. i look forward to seeing it happened. i think this is what it means, what it means to rebuild in a and smart areas. secretary buttigieg says there's a reason the support is bipartisan, but i think that reason is that there's no republican or democratic roads or bridges. they're just pieces of infrastructure. we all count on every day in washington. i'm hannah brandt. coming up, more bay area tech companies getting hit with layoffs. we'll break down the numbers when we come back.
