ICYMI: Exclusive | Ted Cruz Leads Republican Charge to Defund Consumer-Protection Agency.

It has been nearly 48 hours since America witnessed the deadliest commercial airliner crash in over a decade. As the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, our committee oversees the aviation industry. I have been briefed by the NTSB and.

Flight 5342 was initially scheduled to land on Runway 1 at Reagan but was redirected to Runway 33. Meanwhile, the helicopter was traveling along Route 1 before being shifted to Route 4. We know that air traffic control confirmed with the helicopter crew that they had visual.

In the coming weeks and months, we will learn more from the NTSB and FAA as they conduct a thorough investigation. I have spoken with DOT Secretary Duffy and American Airlines CEO Robert Isom. I am confident that there will be transparency from all parties—the American people.

I applaud @SecDuffy's decision to restrict helicopter traffic around Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Until we learn what caused the tragic collision between a Blackhawk helicopter and American Airlines Flight 5342, maintaining the highest standards of air travel.

The NTSB and FAA investigations into the crash at DCA will take a considerable amount of time. We are still in the preliminary stages of determining what went wrong. Both agencies will follow the data, interview eye-witnesses, and examine the black boxes. This will be a

The Democrats' performance today at Kash Patel's confirmation hearing reminded me of a line from Shakespeare's Macbeth: 'It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.'. They stomped their feet and yelled but offered nothing of substance. With two

President Trump is hitting the ground running. ✅ Marines protecting the southern border. ✅ Violent illegal aliens deported. ✅ Illegal alien crossings plummeting.

Great meeting with former Georgia Senator and President Trump's pick to be the next ambassador to China, David Perdue. I have no doubt he will be an excellent representative for the Trump administration in Beijing and will successfully carry out President Trump’s America First

It was great to meet with the Ambassador of Yemen, Mohammed Al-Hadhrami. We discussed my push to re-designate the Houthis as a foreign terrorist organization, and President Trump's Executive Order reimposing those sanctions.

It’s sad, yet entirely predictable, that Senate Democrats are using innuendo and smoke to blame Kash Patel for January 6th, when in fact he worked proactively to secure the Capitol days in advance. Kash is a dedicated public servant who will restore integrity to the FBI as the

I am grateful for the emergency personnel still working tirelessly in their recovery efforts from this horrific accident. My team and I are continuing to carefully monitor the situation and have been in close contact with relevant authorities and I will have a high-level.

I am closely monitoring the situation at DCA, and I will receive a briefing from the FAA tomorrow. While we don’t yet know how many on board were lost, we know there are fatalities. Please join Heidi and me in praying for all involved as the search and rescue is underway.

Defund the CFPB.

The Senate and House must pass my legislation, the Justice for Jocelyn Act. American lives will be saved if this bill passes and Jocelyn Nungaray's death will not be in vain.

Under the Biden administration, billions of dollars were wasted on woke projects through the Broadband Equity Access and Deployment (BEAD) program—without connecting a single American to the internet. If confirmed, Howard Lutnick will refocus BEAD to ensure that Americans get

As the Chairman of the @SenateCommerce Committee, I will work with Republicans and Democrats to expand spectrum for commercial use. I’m confident that Howard Lutnick will also work to expand America's wireless capabilities when he is confirmed as Commerce Secretary.

Welcome news from @SeanDuffyWI! Just hours after being confirmed by the Senate, his first act as Secretary of Transportation halted the war on Americans’ economical gas-powered cars by ending the abuse of the rulemaking process aimed at forcing EVs on consumers who don’t want.
