Rep. Frank Pallone, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey’s 6th district, has recently expressed his views on various issues through a series of tweets. His comments address topics ranging from healthcare and climate change to pollution, highlighting his stance on key policy areas.
On November 26, 2024, Rep. Pallone shared his thoughts on Medicare and weight-loss drugs: “I support access to weight-loss drugs, but Medicare must be able to negotiate fair prices for them.” He emphasized the importance of Medicare Rx price negotiation to prevent “Big Pharma” from charging excessive prices to seniors and taxpayers.
Later that day, at 21:01 UTC, he commented on the electric vehicle (EV) market’s impact on the economy and climate change: “Growth in the EV market is good for our economy and helps combat climate change, but Trump and Congressional Republicans want to do the bidding of Big Oil and Gas.” He warned against efforts to eliminate tax credits that make EVs more affordable for Americans.
In another tweet posted at 23:47 UTC on the same day, Rep. Pallone addressed global plastic pollution: “Pollution from plastics is a global issue and it’s only getting worse.” He noted that U.S. engagement in addressing this crisis is threatened with Donald Trump in office.
