  • While Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman continues to be hospitalized for clinical depression, he has been named as a co-sponsor of a bipartisan bill launched in the wake of the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.
  • S.576, “A bill to enhance safety requirements for trains transporting hazardous materials, and for other purposes,” was introduced to the Senate on Wednesday by Sen. Sherrod Brown. Listed as co-sponsors of the bill are Sens. John Fetterman, JD Vance, Robert Casey Jr., Marco Rubio, and Josh Hawley.
  • Yet on February 15, the freshman congressman checked himself into Walter Reed medical center in Washington, DC to “receive treatment for clinical depression.” He has not yet emerged, and his wife and family have left the US for Canada as rumors swirl about his condition.
