November 24, 2020 President Donald J
November 24, 2020 President Donald J. Trump The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: We write to once again convey the urgent need for federal resources in New Jersey to improve testing capacity. The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) continues to reach record highs; case rates in November are surpassing even our highest rates from the spring. On November 23, New Jersey reported 3,592 new COVID-19 cases and 11 new deaths. State- wide case totals are over 300,000 and confirmed deaths will soon surpass 15,000 people. New Jersey’s hospitals are also experiencing record admissions. On November 23, 2,785 hospital beds were filled with COVID-19 patients; 522 of those patients were in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU); and 265 of those in the ICU are currently breathing via a ventilator. We commend New Jersey for taking swift action to address this latest surge. The state has more than 2,300 contact tracers working to help mitigate the spread of infection. Governor Murphy has also signed an Executive Order limiting indoor gatherings to 10 people, requiring masks indoors, issuing travel restrictions, and urging social distancing. Despite the state’s best efforts, the positivity rate for COVID-19 testing currently averages about 10 percent. As you know, experts suggest anything over a five percent positive testing rate requires urgent containment and mitigation efforts. However, containment and mitigation efforts rely on sufficient testing capacity to ensure that cases are being quickly identified and New Jersey is once again facing extended lines at testing locations and turn-around times for results becoming longer by the day. -

Andy Kim Touted Himself As President Obama's “Point Man”
HIT: Andy Kim touted himself as President Obama’s “point man” on Iraq issues at the White House. While working for the Obama administration, he attended meetings with terrorists including one of the leaders responsible for an attack at the US Embassy in Baghdad, and a senior member of the Muslim Brotherhood. BACKUP: Kim joined the State Department in 2009 as an Iraq expert: • Kim joined the State Department in 2009 as an Iraq expert. “Kim joined the Obama administration in September 2009 as an Iraq expert at the State Department. In 2011, he spent five months in Kabul in a civilian role advising two commanders of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, first Gen. David H. Petraeus and then Gen. John Allen.” (Salvador Rizzo, “Obama adviser running for Congress claims he also worked for Bush,” Washington Post, 9/10/18) Kim was the Iraq Director on Obama’s National Security Council from 2013 until leaving the administration in August 2015: • Kim was the Iraq Director on Obama’s National Security Council from 2013 until leaving the administration in August 2015. “Kim was director for Iraq issues at the Pentagon for five months in 2013 and then was Iraq director on Obama’s National Security Council for two years until leaving the administration in August 2015.” (Salvador Rizzo, “Obama adviser running for Congress claims he also worked for Bush,” Washington Post, 9/10/18) Kim was Obama’s “point man” on Iraq issues while serving in the National Security Council, a credential he has boasted about on the campaign trail: • The Flat Hat: “Kim served at the White House between 2013 and 2015 as Director of Iraq, where he was responsible for managing the crisis response across the Administration and developing strategy.” (Emily Martell, “Andrew Kim Discusses ISIS, Future Of Conflict In Iraq,” The Flat Hat, 11/10/16) • Kim noted he was the Obama Administration’s point man in 2014 as ISIS was gaining ground in Iraq. -

OSHA Sends Draft Emergency Temporary Standard for COVID OMB Review
OSHA sends draft emergency temporary standard for COVID OMB review BY ALEX GANGITANO © istock The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announced on Monday it has sent a draft emergency temporary standard (ETS) on the coronavirus pandemic to the Oice of Management and Budget, defending the extra time the agency took to move on establishing a standard. OSHA, a division of the Department of Labor (DOL), took “the appropriate time” to get the standards right, according to the DOL. President Biden issued an executive order in January on protecting worker health and safety, which called on OSHA to issue an ETS by March 15. “OSHA has been working diligently on its proposal and has taken the appropriate time to work with its science-agency partners, economic agencies, and others in the U.S. government to get this proposed emergency standard right,” a DOL spokesperson said in an email on Monday. Democratic Michigan Reps. Debbie Dingell, Rashida Tlaib and Andy Levin wrote a letter to Biden earlier on Monday calling for ETS implementation as COVID-19 cases in the state are rising again. “What a difference a President Joe Biden and Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh make. I’ve been calling for an emergency temporary standard to protect against COVID-19 for over a year now. I’m glad to see DOL acting to move us closer to issuing the ETS, and POTUS needs to approve it swiftly and get this standard into effect,” Levin told The Hill on Monday following the announcement. Democrats, unions and worker advocates have called for oicial OSHA COVID-19 standards since the onset of the pandemic. -

August 10, 2021 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi the Honorable Steny
August 10, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Steny Hoyer Speaker Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer, As we advance legislation to rebuild and renew America’s infrastructure, we encourage you to continue your commitment to combating the climate crisis by including critical clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives in the upcoming infrastructure package. These incentives will play a critical role in America’s economic recovery, alleviate some of the pollution impacts that have been borne by disadvantaged communities, and help the country build back better and cleaner. The clean energy sector was projected to add 175,000 jobs in 2020 but the COVID-19 pandemic upended the industry and roughly 300,000 clean energy workers were still out of work in the beginning of 2021.1 Clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives are an important part of bringing these workers back. It is critical that these policies support strong labor standards and domestic manufacturing. The importance of clean energy tax policy is made even more apparent and urgent with record- high temperatures in the Pacific Northwest, unprecedented drought across the West, and the impacts of tropical storms felt up and down the East Coast. We ask that the infrastructure package prioritize inclusion of a stable, predictable, and long-term tax platform that: Provides long-term extensions and expansions to the Production Tax Credit and Investment Tax Credit to meet President Biden’s goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035; Extends and modernizes tax incentives for commercial and residential energy efficiency improvements and residential electrification; Extends and modifies incentives for clean transportation options and alternative fuel infrastructure; and Supports domestic clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation manufacturing. -

Veterans’ Affairs will be the Congressman’s third committee, which required a special waiver from the usual two-committee limit for members of the Democratic Caucus. “Veterans in the Marianas need more attention,” Sablan said. “Too often, veterans and their families in the islands—and around the nation—are forgotten, after giving so much.
