#Final @LarrySabato’s Crystal Ball Senate Ratings:

Democrats 53
Republicans 47

[Jean Philippe Fournier @JeanPFournier]

If Democrats take control of the Senate with 54 seats tomorrow, which is likely with the Atlas poll, the GOP probably won’t be able to take back control of the Senate until… 2032, because of an unfavourable schedule.

This is crazy.

[J. Miles Coleman @JMilesColeman]

Nothing beats seeing our industry in action.

It was great to join @Brenntag in welcoming @RepHageman to their facility in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Visits like this create a valuable opportunity to have candid conversations about safety, our workforce, and the essential role chemical distribution plays in communities across the country.

Election Day is just four weeks away, and the political noise is only getting louder.

Polls, pundits, and campaign ads are everywhere. Instead of getting caught up in the noise, take some time to do your homework.

Thank you, @AlexMealerTX, for spending the afternoon learning more about chemical distribution and the important work ACD members like @Brenntag do every day to support our communities.

The proposed UP-NS mega-merger would reshape American freight rail for the worse. Greater consolidation would devastate the businesses, workers, consumers, and communities that depend on a reliable freight rail system. As the STB evaluates the “merits” of this deal, it must fully consider the risk of higher costs and reduced competition on the American supply chain.

This morning, ACD's @EricR_ACD joined KRLD AM 1080 to discuss what’s at stake for Texas if the proposed Union Pacific–Norfolk Southern merger moves forward, including the potential consequences for the state’s economy, businesses, and freight rail competition.

🎧 Tune in to hear the conversation (Part 5, 8:38–8:44 AM): https://t.co/oA85dBh6IU

[AFPM @AFPMonline]

U.S. refiners and petrochemical manufacturers depend on a competitive and reliable rail network to move the energy that powers our economy. But a pending merger between two of the last freight railroads would (A) concentrate market power, (B) reduce competition and (C) threaten higher transportation costs.

Alongside @AmChemistry, @ACD_chem, the Fertilizer Institute and the National Industrial Transportation League, we’ve filed a joint motion urging the Surface Transportation Board to deny the proposed rail merger application.

[Alliance for Chemical Distribution @ACD_chem]

The proposed UP-NS mega merger would have significant consequences on American businesses and communities that rely on freight rail day in and day out. The STB must consider the numerous concerns about what’s at stake and stop this merger in its tracks.
