Toxic fume events on commercial planes are becoming more common, exposing passengers, flight attendants, and pilots to fuel and engine exhaust, posing serious health risks. @frost.house.gov, @repchrispappas.bsky.social. @apfaunity.bsky.social and I are urging the FAA to adopt new safety standards.

Today, we honor the courage of those who stood up at #Stonewall. Their fight for equality reminds us that progress is never given—it is won through #solidarity, courage, and collective action. We remember. We honor. We continue the fight.
#Juneteenth commemorates the day in 1865 when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced freedom to enslaved African Americans—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect on January 1, 1863.

Remembering those lost on American Airlines Flight 1420.
Thank you for the sacrifices you make, the challenges you navigate, and the care you show every day. Most importantly, thank you for keeping our passengers, our crews, and each other safe.
May 25, 1979, AA191, a DC-10 operating from Chicago/O’Hare to Los Angeles, crashed upon takeoff. Ten Flight Attendants, three Pilots, 258 passengers, and two people on the ground perished. Today, we pause to remember those lost.
NEWS: @baldwin.senate.gov and I are calling on the FAA to review how reduced crew size with certain airlines is impacting evacuation standards. In other words, you deserve to know how less flight attendants impacts your safety if disaster strikes. We're demanding answers.
Standing with our LIRR Union Siblings at @teamsters.bsky.social! The Teamsters represent over 500 locomotive engineers at the railroad. They have gone three years without raises throughout the bargaining process for a new contract.
Thank you, @duckworth.senate.gov and @baldwin.senate.gov, for your advocacy. @americanair.bsky.social had a clear opportunity to lead the industry by prioritizing safety and setting a higher standard than our competitors—instead, they chose to pursue cost-cutting at the expense of safety.
