Rep. Frank Pallone, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey’s 6th district, has expressed his views on several pressing issues through a series of tweets dated November 18, 2024. Pallone's statements address concerns about leadership at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), international climate cooperation, and U.S. foreign policy regarding Ukraine.

On November 18, 2024, Rep. Pallone shared his apprehensions regarding Brendan Carr's selection to lead the FCC. "Considering Brendan Carr wrote part of Trump’s extreme Project 2025, I’m deeply concerned by his selection to lead @FCC." He emphasized that the FCC is an independent agency and highlighted Mr. Carr's responsibility to maintain its independence from presidential influence.

Later that day, Pallone discussed his participation in an international meeting focused on climate action. "I led a bipartisan House delegation as we met with leaders from Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Germany at #COP29 to stress how the Inflation Reduction Act offers other countries a proven model for bold action to combat the climate crisis." This underscores his commitment to addressing global environmental challenges through legislative frameworks.

In another tweet on November 18, Pallone commented on President Biden's decision regarding military support for Ukraine amidst ongoing conflicts with Russia. "President Biden made the right call allowing Ukraine to use American weapons to push back against Putin's aggression." He affirmed Ukraine's right to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity without external limitations.
