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.

Without more funding, communities across the country will have to cut BILLIONS in transportation investments. That means cuts to projects to improve our roads, bridges and public transit. @transportdems.bsky.social are working to support America’s infrastructure projects.

America’s air traffic control system needs an upgrade, and @transportdems.bsky.social will work with anyone dedicated to improving U.S. aviation safety. Safety problems have crossed Administrations, but improvements cannot span generations.

The BIL made historic investments in transportation infrastructure. Now, the Administration is holding up grants and sidestepping what Congress passed. To U.S. DOT: stop holding back billions of dollars in funding to move people and goods more efficiently across America.

Democrats and Republicans on this Committee agree that FEMA is in need of reform. Today, T&I Democrats and Republicans released the FEMA Act of 2025 to improve the agency’s ability to help communities before and after disaster strikes. democrats-transportation.house.gov/news/press-r...

Natural disasters are more severe and frequent thanks to climate change, and we need FEMA to be stronger than ever. Unfortunately, Secretary Noem and the Trump Administration are making headlines for all the wrong reasons. T&I Dems read a few before tomorrow’s hearing: youtu.be/XTStYoNga7M

A story in three parts:

The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024: ✅Enhances air traffic control systems ✅Deploys Runway safety projects ✅Expands the aviation talent pipeline The Trump Administration must fully implement the law.

Yet again, the Trump Administration and GOP are making it easier for polluters to get away with their dirty water agenda. @transportdems.bsky.social are working to hold polluters accountable. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

Talking on Fox News is a lot different from legislating. Secretary Duffy should use his new platform to push Congress to take action on rail safety legislation.

Instead of building on the historic transportation investments in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Trump Administration is holding transportation funding hostage. Today, @transportdems.bsky.social will hold DOT Secretary Duffy accountable. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gn23...

Today, @transportdems.bsky.social will hold a markup for the bipartisan Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2025. Stay tuned to follow along. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xt3o...

Last month, Ranking Members @repricklarsen.bsky.social and @repgregstanton.bsky.social explained how the Trump Administration is dismantling FEMA’s ability to prepare for and react to future disasters—putting American communities in need at risk. Read it below: thehill.com/opinion/whit...

For years, FEMA’s door-to-door outreach program helped thousands of disaster survivors get housing assistance. The Trump Administration canceled that program and informed T&I Dems they won't provide door-to-door assistance to disaster victims in Texas. This decision must be reversed immediately.

The 2024 FAA Reauthorization provided a clear mandate to maximize hiring of air traffic controllers, update its staffing models and make critical investments in safety technology. Now, it’s up to the FAA to follow the law.

Eliminating programs and policies aimed at increasing U.S. Coast Guard diversity and inclusion doesn’t increase recruitment and retention. Instead, the Trump Administration should support Coast Guard servicemembers to address shortages.

Democrats @repmoskowitz.bsky.social & @repericsorensen.bsky.social put on their emergency manager and meteorologist caps to explain how Trump Administration cuts to FEMA, NOAA put Americans in danger this disaster season. Learn more on the latest “Take 5 with T&I.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMIt...

Today, House Republicans betrayed hard-working Americans when by passing the GOP Tax Scam. This harmful bill kicks millions off their healthcare, leaves kids hungry at schools & stops much-needed infrastructure projects in communities nationwide to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law made historic investments across America. Now, President Trump is threatening dollars approved to make streets safer and air cleaner. @transportdems.bsky.social are fighting to protect these investments.

Aid to natural disaster victims should never be conditioned. While the Trump Administration plays politics with damaged communities, @transportdems.bsky.social are fighting to ensure EVERY disaster victim is supported, no matter who they voted for.

“This all-out assault on FEMA begs the question: When disaster strikes, will Americans be able to count on support from the federal government?” RMs @repricklarsen.bsky.social & @repgregstanton.bsky.social op-ed on the failures of Trump’s FEMA and the need for reform: thehill.com/opinion/whit...

Today, the T&I Committee will hold a markup on a pro-pollution package of Republican bills that will make the nation’s water dirtier. Stay tuned to follow along and see how @transportdems.bsky.social are fighting to protect clean water and put people over polluters. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVFH...

In the digital age, Congress and the Trump Administration must ensure rail technology is being implemented in a way that improves safety for rail workers and communities. Today, @transportdems.bsky.social will examine the role of technology in the future of rail. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ_Z...

Don’t forget: the GOP’s Big Ugly Bill will strip millions of Americans of healthcare, leave kids hungry at school and slow the repair of aging infrastructure in communities across the country.

Happy birthday, USACE! For 250 years, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has developed & supported infrastructure across America. T&I Democrats are committed to providing the Corps with the resources they need to continue improving ports, waterways, levees, dams, critical ecosystems & so much more!

Mahalo to @flyingwithsara.bsky.social for joining the latest episode of “Seven Questions.” Hear more about how the FAA reauthorization invests in the aviation workforce, as well as why she gave the FAA a D-minus on implementation so far. www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2V4...

MARKUP ALERT: Today at 10 a.m. EDT, @transportdems.bsky.social will hold a markup. Stay tuned to follow along. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q5V...

Access to clean water is a fundamental human right. @transportdems.bsky.social are pushing back on the EPA's efforts to threaten these rights for communities across America.
