To transform American infrastructure, communities across the country need to know they can invest in game-changing projects. T&I Dems advanced the BUILD America 250 Act to fund transportation across America.

Natural disasters are more frequent and severe due to climate change. Communities need a strong, independent FEMA now more than ever. We should pass the FEMA Act.

Prices are skyrocketing thanks to the Trump administration. Meanwhile, our invaluable air traffic controllers are feeling the pinch because they can’t get a pay raise out of this administration. Ridiculous.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provided historic investment in the safe transport of people and goods. The BUILD America 250 Act continues this momentum. It’s time for a vote in the full House.

Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Democrats @transportdems.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Americans count on FEMA in times of need. The Trump administration is hollowing out the agency while using what remains to carry out its inhumane immigration agenda. Shameful. Read more from RMs Larsen and Stanton: democrats-transportation.house.gov/news/press-r...

Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and severe. That’s why T&I Democrats and Republicans agree: it’s time to pass the FEMA Act of 2025 and reform the agency.

Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Democrats @transportdems.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law created more than 700,000 jobs while building transportation infrastructure for communities across the country. T&I Dems negotiated the bipartisan BUILD America 250 Act to keep these investments going.

"The letter comes after the Department of Energy revealed in court documents that it had blocked funding 'based solely on the political identity of the grant recipient’s state.'" Grants should be given based on merit, not politics. T&I Dems need answers. www.bgov.com/news/TJO85MK...

FEMA resources are being diverted away from its key missions—despite natural disasters becoming more frequent and severe—and decisions on whether to provide assistance are being politicized. It’s time to pass the FEMA Act to strengthen the agency and restore its independence.
