The contaminated air in Ohio is not going to say in Ohio, because their air problem is everyone's problem especially in the surrounding states. So what needs to be discussed is the trickle-down effects from that toxic train derailment and a solution to rectify that tragic event.

May I suggest to the folks of East Palestine Ohio, please initiate Class Action Lawsuit for the environmental damages, property damages, health hazards and sufferings they have undergone .

ONLY CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS WILL BRING THE COMPANY TO ACCOUNTABILITY .

PEOPLE OF EAST PALESTINE OHIO MAKE A STAND .

Stop blaming the government for the desaster . It is entirely the fault of the Company which runs these trains for the catastrophic desaster .They have utterly failed to maintain the trains to be in good working conditions and working order .

This is the simple TRUTH . From Malaysia .

Workers warned twice, in the hours directly ahead of the disaster itself, of the overheating of the bearing that failed, which caused the overlong train to derail.

Such hard hitting journalism 🙄 only hard question was in favor of the railroad. What a joke 🤦‍♂️

[joeschneider]

He's not qualified to have that job everybody know why he got the job identity politics

[Paul-lmgv]

This is the guy who couldn't even fix the potholes as mayor of a small city.

[ST-ghzd]

Lil fella has no business being in his position. Totally underqualified.

[livefreedrivenh]

Defending this guy. Shows why this network is called the msndnc. Even before this Pete is clearly over his head. And is more concerned with all the wrong things.

[mrctzn]

Predictably blaming the previous administration. Let's fine them and regulate them and talk a big game like we know what we're doing.

[armandhammer]

"I'm here from the government and I'm here to help".
RUN!

Norfolk Southern donated $1, 800, 000 in 2022, split almost evenly between R's and D's. Nothing will fundamentally change.

[doxpin]

Why not interview the mayor of the town

[jordanslingluff]

One train wreck talking about another train wreck.

[MLWinChrist]

Shame on you Pete. Shame on this news network. How much harm NBC has done to the world.

[waynegouin]

We don't want more socialism. The government is too big. There's too many rules and regulations. Big corporations will take care of us, we just need to give them more tax breaks and all of our money, OK?

[tomlaw]

BOOM! Pete said it right there, Trump's policy had NOTHING to do with this crash. So stop talking about him, I know you wont be able to help yourself though.

[bidensbrain]

Would someone please put MSDNC out of their misery? This is embarrassing.

[katelopez]

After a horrendous 2022, shell-stunned financial backers have misfortunes to recover and a lot to consider, as an expansion report and a pile of different information did close to nothing to change assumptions that the Central bank would probably keep climbing intrest rates regardless of whether the economy dials back, And that implies more red ink for portfolios for the principal quarter of year 2023. How might I benefit from the ongoing unstable market, I'm currently at a junction choosing if to exchange my $250k security/stock portfolio

[chriskurtzworth]

He is an embarrassment to our a huge embarrassment!

[markshelor]

The House Oversight Committee appears to not understand the structure of the Government they are overseeing.
This does not bode well.
