President Obama is urging Congress to take action on a budget crisis facing the Highway Trust Fund, which is used to finance transportation and infrastructure projects nationwide. The fund is expected to go broke by the end of the summer, threatening thousands of projects and more than 700,000 jobs. Obama urged lawmakers to make infrastructure a priority and criticized Republicans for threatening to sue him over his use of executive action.

President Obama: “It’s not crazy. It’s not socialism. It’s not the imperial presidency. No laws are broken. We’re just building roads and bridges like we’ve been doing for the last, I don’t know, 50, 100 years. Middle-class families can’t wait for Republicans in Congress to do stuff. So sue me! As long as they’re doing nothing, I’m not going to apologize for trying to do something.”
