A new report confirms what we already know: investing in water infrastructure creates good-paying jobs and grows the economy. So why is the Trump administration proposing to cut billions of dollars to fund these investments? thevalueofwater.org/econimpact

Enough is enough: It’s time for Republicans to fix their healthcare crisis and end this shutdown. www.reuters.com/world/us/duf...

T&I Dems wrote to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers re: $11 billion in frozen funds for Corps projects that create jobs & grow the economy. The White House should stop playing politics with infrastructure, unfreeze these funds & open the government. democrats-transportation.house.gov/news/press-r...

Ranking Member @repricklarsen.bsky.social: "...the White House is using air traffic controllers, aviation safety technicians, pilots and the airlines as political cover while healthcare costs near maximum altitude for millions of Americans." democrats-transportation.house.gov/news/press-r...

Because Republicans would rather shut down the government than fix their healthcare crisis, tens of thousands of transportation workers are furloughed or working without pay—from air traffic controllers to aviation safety inspectors and technicians. It’s time to end this shutdown.

Canceling billions of dollars in projects in some states while bringing back workers to advance them in others? Doesn’t take a political scientist to see what’s going on here. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

Today, air traffic controllers missed their first full paycheck. No federal worker should have to worry about how they will pay their bills and put food on the table. It’s time for Republicans to end this shutdown.

The Big Ugly Law cut funding across Republican and Democratic districts to pay for tax cuts for the rich. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...

It’s not asking a lot: Fix the Republican healthcare crisis, end the shutdown and pay air traffic controllers. Watch Ranking Member @repricklarsen.bsky.social on @newdems.bsky.social's Fly-In Podcast.

Next week, air traffic controllers will miss their first full paycheck. Instead of fixing the Republican healthcare crisis, reopening the government and paying our essential safety workers, Trump is threatening job-creating infrastructure projects and handing out swag bags.

The Trump administration and Russ Vought would rather cut funding for jobs and economic growth than fix the healthcare crisis they created. Last week, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was the latest casualty.

Secretary Noem: Cool your jets and fly commercial. democrats-transportation.house.gov/news/press-r...

Republicans control the White House, Senate and House. Why are they threatening to fire air traffic controllers during a shortage and not ending the shutdown? Democrats are ready to open the government and fix the Republican healthcare crisis.

Air traffic controllers are working without pay thanks to the Republican shutdown. Instead of adding strain to an understaffed workforce, the Trump administration should fix their healthcare crisis and open the government. Democrats are ready to work.

Air Traffic Controllers are currently working without pay thanks to the Trump administration’s refusal to fix their healthcare crisis and open the government. Today, @transportdems.bsky.social heard from National Air Traffic Controllers Association about the shutdown’s impacts on its workforce

Today, air traffic controllers missed part of their paycheck as a result of the shutdown. Still, Republicans would rather keep the government shut down than fix their healthcare crisis and work with Democrats to open the government.

Since day one, @transportdems.bsky.social have been willing to work with anyone dedicated to improving aviation safety.   Instead of threatening to fire air traffic controllers, the Trump administration should fix the healthcare crisis Republicans created and work with Democrats to end this shutdown

Air traffic controllers are working long hours without pay because of the Republican shutdown. Whenever Republicans come back from vacation, Democrats are here and ready to work.

The Trump administration keeps hurting Americans. In addition to shutting down the government and creating a healthcare crisis, the Trump administration is cancelling billions of dollars for disaster response and recovery. Nobody asked for this.

FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund is solvent for now, but a prolonged shutdown could change that. Republicans must negotiate in good faith to come to an agreement that reopens the government to continue essential services and functions.

Coast Guard servicemembers are already lacking adequate living conditions—something T&I Dems have been trying to fix. Now, we’re asking them to carry out their missions without pay. @transportdems.bsky.social are ready to achieve a bipartisan solution to reopen the government and pay our Coasties.

While essential transportation safety employees continue to work, they are doing so without pay. Republicans should come to the negotiating table immediately to end this shutdown and compensate the workers protecting the safety of the traveling public.

Democrats are in DC to fix the healthcare crisis Republicans created. Republicans? They’re nowhere to be found.

Transportation, not troops, for Portland. 🌹 @repdexteror.bsky.social

The Trump Administration’s management of FEMA is a chaotic mess and threatens FEMA’s ability to help communities when disaster strikes. Instead of listening to employee concerns, Secretary Noem fired whistleblowers. They must be reinstated.

The Trump Administration continued to put corporate profits over people when it canceled a proposed rule guaranteeing airline passengers compensation for delayed flights. Last week, House Democrats demanded Secretary Duffy reverse the Administration’s decision.

Last week, Ranking Member @repricklarsen.bsky.social joined Chairman Graves and the Regional Airline Association to talk about how @transportdems.bsky.social are working on bipartisan solutions to improve aviation safety and protect the flying public.

Glad to have @frost.house.gov on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee! @transportdems.bsky.social

This Rail Safety Week, @transportdems.bsky.social want to protect rail passengers and communities. T&I Democrats stand ready to work with anyone to improve rail safety.

The Trump Administration recently abandoned a rule for airlines to compensate passengers when they cause major flight disruptions. House Democrats won’t let airlines off the hook. Yesterday, 78 Democrats wrote to Secretary Duffy demanding they reverse this decision.

MARKUP ALERT: Join @transportdems.bsky.social for a full Committee Markup today at 10 a.m. ET. www.youtube.com/live/xTI9Y9S...

The Trump Administration continued its attack on FEMA when it unlawfully fired employees who blew the whistle on the Agency’s mismanagement. Today, Democratic leaders called on Secretary Noem and David Richardson to reinstate these employees.

Last week, T&I Democrats and Republicans introduced the PIPES Act of 2025. This bipartisan bill will help to make millions of miles of pipelines across the country safer and hold operators accountable for safety violations. democrats-transportation.house.gov/news/press-r...

Last week, T&I Democrats and Republicans came together to pass the FEMA Act of 2025. Americans should be able to count on a strong, effective FEMA to help communities when disaster strikes.

America’s Air Traffic Control system is in urgent need of an upgrade. @transportdems.bsky.social will work with anybody committed to safety to achieve this. Fixing these safety issues has crossed Administrations but cannot take generations.

Last Congress, the T&I Committee passed another Water Resources Development Act to invest in the nation’s water infrastructure. Today, T&I Dems will get a progress report from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=svsN...

Last month, President Trump fired a Senate-confirmed member of the freight rail regulator, the Surface Transportation Board. The Administration should stop playing politics with STB's ability to hold freight railroads accountable and protect the traveling public.

RM @repricklarsen.bsky.social: “As natural disasters become more frequent and severe, the FEMA Act of 2025 strengthens the Agency and ensures it has the tools to efficiently and effectively serve as a lifeline to disaster-impacted communities—like those in my district hit by the 2024 Bomb Cyclone."

Today, @transportdems.bsky.social will markup the bipartisan FEMA Act of 2025. As natural disasters become more frequent and severe, this bill will reform FEMA to ensure the Agency can provide relief to disaster-impacted communities. www.youtube.com/live/sMAL0PM...

Really, EPA? Letting polluters off the hook by allowing animal 💩 into our water isn’t money-saving; it’s just gross.

After botching their response to the tragic flooding in Texas, the last thing the Trump Administration should be doing is retaliating against FEMA staff. Instead, they should focus on ensuring FEMA has what it needs to help communities when disaster strikes.

At a time when natural disasters are becoming more severe and frequent, the federal government should be supporting FEMA, not diminishing it. @transportdems.bsky.social are focused on protecting the Agency and the communities it serves. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/c...

Don’t forget: Republicans passed the Big Ugly Law to kick millions of people off healthcare and stop much-needed infrastructure investments. Why? To cut taxes for the wealthiest Americans.

The Trump Administration should be focused on the needs of communities when deciding who gets transportation funding, not birth rates or partisan politics. Investing in transportation is good for all Americans.

Rail safety legislation has bipartisan support. @transportdems.bsky.social are ready to work with anyone to improve rail safety.

Like to swim? Fish? Kayak or canoe? Well, the safety of water recreation is under threat by the Trump Administration. Instead of investing in clean water, the Administration continues putting polluters over people.

The Trump Administration continues to jeopardize FEMA’s ability to help communities respond to disaster. @transportdems.bsky.social are fighting to protect FEMA.

T&I Democrats are working to strengthen the nation’s ports and maritime economy. This weekend, Ranking Member @repricklarsen.bsky.social visited @repscfigures.bsky.social to see how these infrastructure investments support his district in Alabama.

The U.S. Coast Guard has safeguarded the nation’s seas since 1790. Today, @transportdems.bsky.social wish the Coast Guard a happy 235th birthday and remain committed to investing in the Service.
