Now is not the time to pass regulations that increase what Americans pay at the pump. Yet that's exactly what NHTSA's own analysis says this rollback of fuel economy standards will do—leading to American families paying thousands more in gas.

@cantwell.senate.gov and Sen. Cruz have spent all summer working toward a bicameral aviation safety solution. The central principle is clear: pilots operating in congested airspace deserve modern safety tools and real-time awareness of nearby aircraft from ADS-B In systems.

I want these rules in place because sports is about any given Saturday. It’s not about whether you have a billionaire in your backyard. It’s about whether you can coach, recruit, have academic performance, & have fairness. But that fairness does not exist today without this bill.

KIRO Newsradio 97.3 FM: A bipartisan college sports bill backed by Sen. Maria Cantwell is advancing after a 74-24 Senate vote. It would cap agent fees at 5%, allow athletes one transfer without sitting out, and add new scholarship and health protections.

Hurricane Hunters don't only track hurricanes, they also collect critical data on atmospheric rivers that cause severe flooding and landslides across the Pacific Northwest. That means improved storm predictions and more accurate warnings for our communities.

Senate Commerce Dems @commerce.senate.gov · 22/06/2026

NOAA's Hurricane Hunters collect vital data from inside dangerous storms, but much of the fleet is over 50 years old. That’s why the bipart Hurricane Hunter Aircraft Recapitalization Act will modernize the aging fleet and codify the mission in federal law.
