instance, and so while you just testified that senate committee hearing you informed lawmakers about what your life is, like the decisions that you have to make what you ve been enduring for the last seven weeks, you your family and your entire community. what did you get in return? did you get any kind of immediate answers from many lawmakers? any promises? um, any kind of um. idea about what the road ahead is going to be like and for how long? i do know that senator cantwell, who chairs that committee did say that she would like to get a bill out there by sometime in april. so that s great. i really hope that this never happens in any other community, so i hope that we can get some common sense safety regulation passed that would be fantastic. asked for east palestine, um, since that hearing on wednesday, there have not been any types of concrete
actions that have been announced or put in place. case. hmm. are you glad that you did this? i am really glad that i did this and i m really glad that senator cantwell reached out and wanted somebody from east palestine to shine a light on what is going on? i think it s so important to put a face on this disaster and what everybody is going through. um i was really positively, uh, overwhelmed by the bipartisan support that we received and how so many different policymakers did reach out to me. one thing i would like to say that i heard recently is that this is really like um on partisan issue, and so i think that that s so powerful because i think everybody can agree that when it comes to our children s health moms will stop at nothing to talk to everyone engaged in that process to ensure that our family s health and well being really does come first. so this does transcend politics. and i think that i witnessed that firsthand this week. all right. misty alison, thanks to you and
i ve spoken to senator cantwell and the chair of the subcommittee that works on this, senator peters from michigan. i want to do something. they can do all the criticism and call on people to resign. people in east palestine, it s a republican community. but they don t care about that. they don t want politicians coming in and disrupting things. they want action, they want solutions. that s what j.d. vance and i are doing. all right. well, i appreciate your time, senator. thanks so much. sure. we ll do it again. thanks, erin. , and next, the prosecution calling alex murdaugh a family annihilator during its closing arguments as the disgraced attorney is accused of killing his wife and son. maggie and paul, too. and they paid for it with their lives. don t let him fool you, too. and congress taking a major step tonight toward banning tiktok from the united states.
