What would you want delivered by AAM? NASAO's Gregory Pecoraro has an idea.

See his answer and gain some insight into the integration of things like electric air taxis on the newest Seven Questions.

Americans love rail—and they deserve a rail network on par with our international counterparts.

That starts with investments from Congress.

Yesterday, T&I Committee leaders introduced a bipartisan bill that would ensure air traffic controllers and other aviation safety workers get paid during future shutdowns.

The stress and uncertainty these workers just endured cannot happen again.
November 19, 2025 at 7:58 PM
Yesterday, the Trump administration launched another attack on the Clean Water Act.

@transportdems.bsky.social are committed to protecting Americans’ access to clean, safe water—even if Trump’s EPA and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wants to put polluters over people.

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.
October 28, 2025 at 3:14 PM
It’s not asking a lot: Fix the Republican healthcare crisis, end the shutdown and pay air traffic controllers.

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.
October 22, 2025 at 6:46 PM
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.
October 20, 2025 at 2:34 PM
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

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.

Democrats are in DC to fix the healthcare crisis Republicans created.

Republicans? They’re nowhere to be found.

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.
September 22, 2025 at 7:18 PM
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.
September 19, 2025 at 5:31 PM
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.
September 17, 2025 at 5:19 PM
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.
September 16, 2025 at 9:29 PM
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...

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."
September 4, 2025 at 2:30 PM
Really, EPA?

Letting polluters off the hook by allowing animal 💩 into our water isn’t money-saving; it’s just gross.
September 2, 2025 at 9:51 PM
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.
August 27, 2025 at 2:31 PM
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.

A story in three parts:
July 22, 2025 at 3:53 PM
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.
