"That seems a little creepy." Sen. Rosen confronts Sen. Moreno about stalking her staff and taking down their VIN number. Watch:

Professional sports rely on fans knowing the competition is real, not rigged. The Senate Commerce Committee wants transparency from the NBA to make sure player betting scandals don’t undermine the fairness or integrity of the game. www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/10/sena...

Americans love professional basketball because every game is decided on the court — and not by criminals. The Commerce Committee is pressing the NBA to ensure games are free from organized crime and inappropriate manipulation. www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/10/sena...

“The near constant attacks the Trump Administration have leveled against free speech rights TODAY.” @rosen.senate.gov asks why FCC Chairman Carr is not a witness at a hearing on government censorship. Watch:

The integrity of professional basketball games must never be for sale. Ranking Member @cantwell.senate.gov and Chair Cruz are demanding answers from the NBA about gambling-related criminal charges that threaten public trust. www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/10/sena...

You deserve to know the real price of a plane ticket before clicking “buy.” Congress required transparent pricing. @usdot.bsky.social’s decision to weaken consumer protections is wrong, and Commerce Dems are fighting to put travelers first. www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/10/rank...

The FCC’s decision to gut relief & raise prison phone rates by up to 83% defies Congress & the law. @duckworth.senate.gov, @cantwell.senate.gov, & colleagues know that keeping in touch with family when behind bars helps reduce recidivism. #MarthaWrightReedAct www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/10/cant...

“My fundamental question still is: Where is Brendan Carr?” Watch @cantwell.senate.gov’s opening remarks at yesterday’s hearing on government censorship: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eRK...

Airlines should compensate you when their mistakes cause delays. U.S. DOT is nixing the proposed rule that would have required this. Congress passed consumer protections in last year’s FAA Reauthorization Act. DOT needs to implement them, not undermine them. www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/10/rank...

Families shouldn’t have to pay predatory prices simply to stay connected to incarcerated loved ones. The FCC’s 2024 rule delivered long-overdue relief — cutting prison phone rates in half and banning junk fees. Undermining the rule is illegal and unjust. #MarthaWrightReedAct

✈️ DOT is rolling back passenger protections from hidden fees & for when airlines cancel or delay flights. This flies in the face of the bipartisan FAA Reauthorization Act. Commerce Dems are calling on @usdot.bsky.social to restore these vital consumer safeguards.

The bipartisan Martha Wright-Reed Just and Reasonable Communications Act is clear: implement fair rates for the families of incarcerated people. FCC leadership can’t ignore Congress or side with corporate prison monopolies. Commerce Dems are demanding the 2024 rule be restored.

“Their objective isn't to codify rights for student athletes.”   Listen to Sen. Cantwell talk with former college athletes about the SCORE Act:

The SCORE Act “is not reform, it’s regression,” says Meghann Burke, Exec. Director of @nwslplayers.bsky.social. “We need athletes, men and women alike… to have a real seat at the table in shaping the future of college sports."

@cantwell.senate.gov teams up with @blumenthal.senate.gov, @booker.senate.gov, Andrew Morris, Spencer Haywood, Dwayne Allen, & @meghannburke.bsky.social to discuss how the SCORE Act hurts college athletes. www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/10/form...

At today’s roundtable, Sens. Cantwell, Blumenthal, and Booker underscored the need for real reform in college sports, and urged the House to reject the SCORE Act’s rush to enrich a few at the expense of athletes. #CollegeAthletics youtu.be/bJRLg_xAZVE

67 lives were lost in January’s DCA tragic collision. Today, the Senate Commerce Committee took a vital step to make sure it doesn’t happen again. The bipartisan bill advances real safety reforms — closing loopholes, improving coordination, and mandating ADS-B In across fleets.

See @cantwell.senate.gov's full statement on the passage of the ROTOR bill out of committee today:

Today, the Commerce Committee passed our bipartisan aviation safety bill responding to the DCA collision. This marks an important step towards safer skies for all. Our bill closes safety loopholes, strengthens FAA–DoD coordination, and finally mandates ADS-B technology.

Following the tragic January DCA midair collision, this bipartisan agreement mandates ADS-B In technology by 2031, requires Army accountability measures, and establishes formal FAA-Pentagon information sharing. Safety must always be our top priority! www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/10/cant...

Ranking Member @cantwell.senate.gov and Chair Ted Cruz have reached a bipartisan agreement on aviation safety legislation to close the ADS-B Out loophole, strengthen FAA oversight, & help prevent future tragedies in our skies. #AviationSafety www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/10/cant...

Airports are right to refuse to air DHS Secretary Noem’s partisan video. And now @cantwell.senate.gov is demanding a Hatch Act investigation. commerce.senate.gov/services/fil...

The National Urban League and NBRPA are right: the SCORE Act is an NCAA power grab that erodes fairness, accountability, and athletes’ rights. The SAFE Act does the opposite—protecting athletes, increasing revenue & leveling the playing field. www.commerce.senate.gov/services/fil...

Sen. Cantwell is urging Big Ten university presidents to think twice before selling a stake in their athletic revenues to private equity firms. She stated that the deals “may be counter to your university’s academic goals” www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/10/sen-...

The FCC has no business targeting independent media companies. Protect the First Amendment. Follow the law.

At today’s hearing, I reminded my colleagues what government censorship actually looks like: Donald Trump demanding the FCC silence news outlets that criticize him. That’s not free speech—it’s an abuse of power.

Just stepped out of the Commerce Committee, where we’re taking on Donald Trump’s attacks on the First Amendment. Free speech and a free press are the foundation of our democracy—and I’m not letting either be compromised.

Sen. Cantwell asks THE most important question at today’s hearing on government censorship. #Kimmel #FreeSpeech

🚨 Whistleblowers revealed OMB secretly ordered NASA to start implementing Trump’s FY26 budget cuts months ago—before Congress has approved them. Now, Vought is cutting off whistleblower systems that expose such abuses of power. www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/10/trum...

From NASA to NY infrastructure, Trump & his goons are illegally hijacking the government’s budget. This isn’t fiscal policy — it’s political extortion. #OMB www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/9/new-d...

Trump’s OMB Director, Russell Vought, is once again illegally withholding congressionally approved funds. This time Vought is shutting down a federal whistleblower hotline that exposes waste, fraud, and abuse. This move intentionally undermines watchdogs. www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/10/trum...

This isn’t only about energy—our NASA report shows OMB is quietly forcing agencies to follow Trump’s partisan budget, even threatening mission readiness. Cancelling funds for political vengeance hurts Americans and breaks the law. www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/9/new-d...

First Vought required NASA to implement Trump’s budget that Congress never passed. Now they’re freezing infrastructure funds to punish cities. Same playbook: abuse of power, not governing. #Shutdown www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/9/new-d...

🚀 TODAY: The Day of Action to Save NASA Science is underway Join @planetarysociety.bsky.social, @aas.org, & @agu.org at 1:00 PM ET for a press conference at the U.S. Capitol. Speakers include Bill Nye and Glenn Ivey. #SaveNASAScience Livestream here: www.planetary.org/video/planet...

The Constitution is clear: Congress—not the President—controls the power of the purse. Trump’s OMB is ignoring that bedrock principle to illegally gut NASA. This is bigger than space—it’s a full-on assault on our democracy. #NASA www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/9/new-d...

NASA’s motto: “For the Benefit of All.” But Trump’s OMB is secretly muzzling NASA employees, hiding directives, & illegally enforcing budget cuts. That’s not “benefit of all”—that’s “The Destruction of NASA’s Mission” according to whistleblowers. #NASA #Space www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/9/new-d...

🚨 CPB has been forced to shut down by the Republican rescission law—silencing trusted public media & cutting off rural communities from local news & emergency alerts. Dems’ CR would restore funding & protect the free press. #SaveCPB www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/10/cant...

“We’re Going to See An Astronaut Death” @mjbanias.bsky.social #NASA #Space Read more below: thedebrief.org/were-going-t...

NASA research fuels America’s innovation economy—including GPS, weather satellites, AI, aerospace, medical breakthroughs. Trump’s cuts = ❌ $46B lost economic output ❌ 10,704 fewer U.S. researchers ❌866 fewer STEM PhDs A gut punch to U.S. leadership. www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/9/new-d...

The SAFE Act puts athletes, women’s sports & Olympic programs first. The SCORE Act puts the NCAA & power conferences first. Big difference: we’re siding with players, not the exces. #ForThePlayers www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Whistleblowers warn: Trump’s illegal NASA budget cuts have already created safety risks. One said they fear “an astronaut death within a few years.” We cannot let politics endanger human lives in space. #NASA #Space www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/9/new-d...

🚨 Senators Cantwell, Booker & Blumenthal just introduced The Student Athlete Fairness and Enforcement Act —a landmark bill to protect student athletes, bring certainty to college sports, and preserve women’s & Olympic sports. A thread🧵:

"How do we solve the fundamental problem of implementing NIL rights, but also keeping revenue for women's and Olympic sports and an environment where everyone feels like they can compete?" @cantwell.senate.gov Answer = The SAFE Act Read more below: www.newsday.com/sports/colle...

NASA was built on bipartisanship & world-class science. Trump’s OMB is currently slashing nearly half of NASA’s science funding, nearly third of its workforce, & imposing the smallest budget since 1961—before Congress has even voted. This is unconstitutional. www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/9/new-d...

Senate Dems release report that quotes NASA staff:"We’re expected not to bring safety concerns forward and to not use good judgment. I see safety issues around us all the time.” “very concerned that we’re going to see an astronaut death within a few years” www.commerce.senate.gov/services/fil...

🚨 Whistleblowers say the Trump Admin is illegally forcing #NASA to implement its FY26 budget cuts now—before Congress has acted. This isn’t just about space. It’s about safety, innovation, and the Constitution. 🧵

Whistleblowers reveal the Trump Admin is illegally forcing NASA to implement its FY26 budget cuts right now—in defiance of Congress & the Constitution. There is simply no winning the space race without fully funding #NASA science, research, & development. www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/9/new-d...

“America should agree that if you want free speech, if you want freedom of expression, you also have to have a free press" @cantwell.senate.gov told @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social & she’s demanding FCC Chair Carr testify before the Committee about his threats to media organizations.

Senate Commerce Dems to Chair Cruz: The FCC cannot be used as a weapon to silence speech. Full stop. We’re demanding a hearing so Chairman Carr answers for his threats against ABC & Jimmy Kimmel—an unprecedented attack on the First Amendment. www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/9/cantw...

Senate Commerce Dems are calling for action due to FCC Chair Carr’s latest actions. Learn more here: #FreePress #FCC #FirstAmendment www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/9/cantw...
