Having solved all other infrastructure and travel problems in the United States, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is in Ukraine:

Apparently Buttigieg is in Ukraine to lead an infrastructure advisory team, possibly to let Zelenskyy know how to make the roads less racist:
From the time Russia launched its full-scale invasion, I’ve kept close contact with my Ukrainian counterpart about impacts to global supply chains, particularly port and rail infrastructure. Today, I’m in Kyiv to deliver on a top ask to place an infrastructure advisor here.

This advisor will be in Kyiv to provide technical assistance on project delivery as part of the country’s rebuilding efforts.

It’s one of countless ways the U.S. continues to stand with the people of Ukraine for the long haul and ensure its connection to the world.
How much is that trip costing taxpayers?
Why in the hell would he need to be there!!

Right? It's not like there are no other priorities back at home for a Transportation Secretary:
Here's our "top ask".

Also airlines and don't get us started on bridges and roads. pic.twitter.com/VhrEJBI893
No idea how this helps our train derailments, TSA and Air Traffic Controller Shortages, and has such a small fraction of an impact on our global supply chain that a phone call could have done the same job. No idea why head of Transportation needs a trip half way round the world…

When Biden took office he said the days of "America First" policies were over, and he wasn't joking.
More time than he spent in Ohio https://t.co/SMBhiWEO2K

Yep!
Does Ukraine need racially equitable roads or something? https://t.co/DKI8gdweKf

I didn’t realize there were also racist Highway overpasses in Ukraine https://t.co/U2kjgsrEIf

Neither did we!
Good God, what fresh grift are these two gnomes cooking up? https://t.co/dX7DOEZfWm

That's anybody's guess.
Pete Buttigieg is inexplicably in Ukraine.

Democrats like Buttigieg and Randi Weingarten treating Ukraine like a cosplay tourism hotspot is not helping their case for the urgency of more support. https://t.co/vBzJdAmKoK
Perhaps an answer to the question of why so many politicians go to Ukraine is "because that's where the money is." But the House Republicans would like the job of Transportation Secretary to NOT be where the money is:
🤣 House approves bill slashing Pete Buttigieg's salary to $1 https://t.co/5uHAp9p0D3
— Tammy Bruce (@HeyTammyBruce) November 8, 2023
Ouch!
Can we reduce his salary again to 50 cents? https://t.co/rfgN8qswm3

Get on that, Republicans.
