This afternoon, I met with the Air Line Pilots Association to discuss supporting the pilots who keep our aviation system moving.
I'm grateful for the work ALPA members do every day and will continue supporting efforts to protect their safety and livelihoods.
The @ALPAPilots represents over 80,000 pilots at more than 40 airlines across the U.S. and Canada.
As a member of the Subcommittee on Aviation for @TransportDems, I was delighted to meet with ALPA representatives on ways we can continue to improve air safety across the aviation industry.
@ALPAPresident and Tim and Sheri Lilley told reporters today: a full ADS-B In mandate must be in any final aviation safety legislation Congress passes. Lives are on the line –– safety cannot wait. #ALPA2026Summit
Working on #capitalHill with @caitlynjamesss to support the Senate’s language mandating integrated ADS-B In. Delays are unacceptable. Pilots need situational awareness. The public needs commit to keeping the ROTOR Act’s Section 4 in the final bill! #ALPA2026Summit@ALPAPilots
As the father of an airline pilot, the words from these loving parents at the #ALPA2026Summit really struck me. Congress can help by protecting the "ADS-B In" mandates in Section 4 of the ROTOR Act in their final aviation safety bill. @ALPAPilots support @famofflight5342 ✈️
@eleanornorton Hundreds of my fellow pilots are walking the halls of Congress today, urging them to protect Section 4 of the ROTOR Act in the final aviation safety bill. I’m making the same ask from my home district – please don’t compromise on safety. #ALPA2026Summit
@eleanornorton As a commercial pilot, I’m asking you to support the final push for aviation safety. Please ensure any final aviation safety bill conference report includes mandatory ADS-B In technology for all airliners. #ALPA2026Summit
@eleanornorton Upgrading to ACAS-Xa isn't enough. Only a full suite of ADS-B In technology gives pilots the advanced alerting time needed to prevent midair collisions. Strengthen the final aviation safety bill now. #ALPA2026Summit
@eleanornorton Integrated ADS-B In gives airline pilots a 360° view of the sky, allowing us to see and avoid. Keep Section 4 of the ROTOR Act in the final aviation safety bill. #ALPA2026Summit
@eleanornorton The tragic Potomac midair collision proved we need to give pilots better flight deck situational awareness. Any final aviation safety bill must mandate integrated ADS-B In to allow for more alerting time of nearby aircraft. Safety cannot wait. #ALPA2026Summit
@eleanornorton As the aviation safety bill heads to conference, Congress must protect the Senate’s ADS-B In mandate. Safety technology cannot be used as a bargaining chip when lives are on the line in shared airspace. #ALPA2026Summit
@eleanornorton As an airline pilot & your constituent, I urge you to support the Senate’s language mandating integrated ADS-B In. Delays are unacceptable. Pilots need situational awareness. Will you commit to keeping the ROTOR Act’s Section 4 in the final bill? #ALPA2026Summit
The same Duffys who threw endless fits on national television when Pete was working from our son's ICU bedside are now bragging about their multi-month, taxpayer-funded family road trip while gas and grocery prices soar for American families because of Trump's war of choice. How much more unfocused, unserious, and out of touch can you be?
The Death Valley superbloom is underway! 🌸🌼
Colorful flowers are blanketing parts of the hottest place in North America. Park officials say it's the best superbloom since 2016.
The coldest winter in more than two decades is making the famed cherry blossoms in D.C. take their time this year.
The peak bloom date for the Tidal Basin’s Yoshino trees could be the latest since 2018. https://t.co/nR8ECJ1MBU
