      Pittsburgh bridge collapse

      'Time to Rebuild This Nation': Fetterman Speaks Out After Pittsburgh Bridge Collapse

      "This collapse is just the latest in a long line of preventable, man-made disasters that prove what so many of us in Pennsylvania and around the country have been saying for years: Our infrastructure is failing our people."

      Brett Wilkins
      Jan 28, 2022

      Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman said Friday that the Pittsburgh bridge collapse that wounded 10 people demonstrates how the nation's decaying infrastructure is endangering lives, and that the disaster underscores the importance of earnestly implementing the bipartisan infrastructure law signed by President Joe Biden last year.

      "Our roads and bridges, which are supposed to connect us and bring us together, are increasingly putting us in danger."

      Oil Change U.S. Response: Trump's Speech at Fracking Conference Was a Dumpster Fire

      Today, President Donald Trump spoke to a fracking industry conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In response to the president's speech, David Turnbull, Strategic Communications Director at Oil Change U.S., released the following statement:

      Donald Trump is giving the keynote address at the Shale Insight conference in Pittsburgh, Pa. today. In preparation, Food & Water Action Executive Director Wenonah Hauter released the following statement:

      "Donald Trump is speaking to his base today - the fracking companies whose profits he has put above the health and safety of the planet.
