Biden Finally Visited Hawaii, But Continues to Be a 'No Show' for This Devastated US Community

Residents of East Palestine, Ohio, are growing increasingly frustrated after the toxic train derailment in March. Not only has President Biden yet to visit the beleaguered village, despite flying almost directly overhead recently, but the EPA’s sluggish response on testing and cleanup is also preventing hundreds of families from moving back into their homes.

As residents point out, about 60 percent of those who live in East Palestine are below poverty guidelines, so moving out of town isn’t a realistic option for most. 

“It’s terrifying waking up and thinking that you don’t know if your environment is safe,” one resident told Fox News.

As detailed in a recent New York Times report, families who have come back are facing mounting medical and financial crises, with one family telling the paper about their ordeal having to live in a hotel since the derailment, blowing through all their savings, and now the health conditions they face, which are presumably linked to the "controlled" burn of toxic chemicals after the derailment. 

Meanwhile, the Biden administration has sent billions to Ukraine and is calling on Congress to authorize even more funding for security, economic, and humanitarian assistance - a point not lost of the people of East Palestine.
