. @SenMarkey  & I have long questioned the capabilities of Tesla’s autopilot system. NHTSA must leave no stone unturned as it continues to investigate this flawed feature.

Last month, @SenBlumenthal and I sent a letter to NHTSA sounding the alarm that Tesla was endangering the public with its so-called Autopilot and Full Self-Drive systems. We are glad to see both @NHTSAgov   and @TheJusticeDept getting tough on Tesla over these dangers.

Thank you to students at Middletown High School for sharing your experiences with social media. During our thoughtful & insightful conversation, we talked about the Kids Online Safety Act, which would give young people the tools & safeguards to take back their online lives.

FAA opening another investigation into Boeing is deeply troubling. This news appears to part of the same pattern of disregard for safety. The FAA must get to the bottom of this cavernous deficit in quality control that lets planes leave w/o key inspections.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the memory of the 6 million Jews & countless others murdered by the Nazis. Today serves as a powerful reminder to reject hatred & bigotry in all its forms & uphold our promise of “Never Again.”

The Captive Primate Safety Act protects both primates & people. Wild animals belong in the wild, not shackled & mistreated in a backyard. This measure is about safety, but also basic humane behavior—ending exploitation of these highly intelligent animals.

Remembering workers lost because of safety lapses—the AFL-CIO Workers Memorial Day ceremony was a powerful call to action in Hartford. Thank you to unions fighting for workers safety & employers who do the right thing.
