Revisiting For No Reason

After my speech today, I spoke with @EPAMichaelRegan, @SenSherrodBrown, @RepBillJohnson, @GovernorShapiro and @GovMikeDeWine about our ongoing efforts in East Palestine, OH.

I reaffirmed my commitment to making sure they have everything they need.

Let me give you the latest. pic.twitter.com/nr3ZzBraeD

Our team is working in lockstep with state and local officials and were on the ground hours after the train derailed.

- @EPA is monitoring air and water quality
- We've screened 500+ homes
- @CDCgov has deployed chemical assessment personnel
- We've deployed @FEMA resources

For years, elected officials – including the last admin – have limited our ability to implement and strengthen rail safety measures.

Heck, many of the elected officials pointing fingers right now want to dismantle the EPA – the agency that is making sure this clean up happens.

We'll continue to hold rail companies accountable when they fail to put safety first. But first, we’ve got Norfolk Southern’s mess to clean.

I want affected residents to know that we’ve got your back.

And as I said to your govs, they'll have every resource that they need.
