@commerce.senate.govNow is not the time to pass regulations that increase what Americans pay at the pump. Yet that's exactly what NHTSA's own analysis says this rollback of fuel economy standards will do—leading to American families paying thousands more in gas.

@commerce.senate.gov@cantwell.senate.gov and Sen. Cruz have spent all summer working toward a bicameral aviation safety solution.
The central principle is clear: pilots operating in congested airspace deserve modern safety tools and real-time awareness of nearby aircraft from ADS-B In systems.
@cantwell.senate.govReposted by @commerce.senate.govI want these rules in place because sports is about any given Saturday. It’s not about whether you have a billionaire in your backyard. It’s about whether you can coach, recruit, have academic performance, & have fairness. But that fairness does not exist today without this bill.

With the drag on higher education that athletic departments are causing, this discussion can't happen soon enough. Women's and Olympic sports need immediate shoring up.
