Our wages aren’t keeping up with inflation. Prices on everything are skyrocketing. We’re all living on the edge while billionaires and CEOs make record profits. The Trump economy is not working for working people.

This afternoon, I met with the Air Line Pilots Association to discuss supporting the pilots who keep our aviation system moving. I'm grateful for the work ALPA members do every day and will continue supporting efforts to protect their safety and livelihoods.

The @ALPAPilots represents over 80,000 pilots at more than 40 airlines across the U.S. and Canada. As a member of the Subcommittee on Aviation for @TransportDems, I was delighted to meet with ALPA representatives on ways we can continue to improve air safety across the aviation industry.

@ALPAPresident and Tim and Sheri Lilley told reporters today: a full ADS-B In mandate must be in any final aviation safety legislation Congress passes. Lives are on the line –– safety cannot wait. #ALPA2026Summit

Working on #capitalHill with @caitlynjamesss to support the Senate’s language mandating integrated ADS-B In. Delays are unacceptable. Pilots need situational awareness. The public needs commit to keeping the ROTOR Act’s Section 4 in the final bill! #ALPA2026Summit @ALPAPilots

This should be an easy one. Time for Congress to do the right thing for aviation safety and the traveling public ✈️
Speaking up for aviation safety and for pilots is core to our mission. That's why we're calling on Congress to include the ADS-B In language from the Senate-passed ROTOR Act in final law.

As the father of an airline pilot, the words from these loving parents at the #ALPA2026Summit really struck me. Congress can help by protecting the "ADS-B In" mandates in Section 4 of the ROTOR Act in their final aviation safety bill. @ALPAPilots support @famofflight5342 ✈️
"We cannot change what happened...but we have the opportunity to make changes from the lessons learned." Tim and Sheri Lilley give a heartfelt keynote in memory of their son, Honorary Capt. Sam Lilley. @famofflight5342 deserve action. #ALPA2026Summit

The same Duffys who threw endless fits on national television when Pete was working from our son's ICU bedside are now bragging about their multi-month, taxpayer-funded family road trip while gas and grocery prices soar for American families because of Trump's war of choice. How much more unfocused, unserious, and out of touch can you be?

The Death Valley superbloom is underway! 🌸🌼 Colorful flowers are blanketing parts of the hottest place in North America. Park officials say it's the best superbloom since 2016.

The coldest winter in more than two decades is making the famed cherry blossoms in D.C. take their time this year. The peak bloom date for the Tidal Basin’s Yoshino trees could be the latest since 2018. wapo.st/3MU4VEh

Last night, my amendment to repeal ICE’s $75 billion funding increase and reverse cuts to Medicaid won the support of every Senate Democrat — and two Republicans. That didn’t happen by accident. It happens when people organize and demand change. The struggle continues.

We hold in our hearts the 67 lives of passengers, crew members and service members lost one year ago at DCA. Their families and loved ones remain at the center of the steps we’re taking to ensure the safety of our skies. We’re improving our data systems, technologies, staffing and oversight and overhauling our air traffic control system. The FAA is committed to protecting the flying public and preventing another tragedy from occurring.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Democrats and several Republicans just joined together to vote down a funding bill that would give ICE more money and resources to terrorize our communities. This is amazing. #ICEOffOurStreets

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.
