Congress must ensure @USCG has the resources it needs to remain mission ready. Last month, the House passed the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2025 to improve quality of life for servicemembers, bolster shoreside infrastructure and prevent sexual assault.

Instead of building on the historic transportation investments in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Trump Administration is slowing transportation funding. @USDOT should give communities the support they deserve.

When disaster strikes, communities depend on FEMA to recover. @TransportDems and @TransportGOP understand that. That’s why we introduced the bipartisan FEMA Act of 2025 to reform and improve the Agency.

Did you know American rivers used to catch fire before the Clean Water Act?. Now, @HouseGOP wants to weaken the rules protecting our nation’s water bodies. @TransportDems are united in opposition.

The U.S. Coast Guard has safeguarded the nation’s seas since 1790. Today, @TransportDems wish @USCG a happy 235th birthday and remain committed to investing in the Service.

Without more funding, communities across the country will have to cut BILLIONS in transportation investments. That means cuts to projects to improve our roads, bridges and public transit. @TransportDems are working to support America’s infrastructure projects.

America’s air traffic control system needs an upgrade, and @TransportDems will work with anyone dedicated to improving U.S. aviation safety. Safety problems have crossed Administrations, but improvements cannot span generations.

The BIL made historic investments in transportation infrastructure. Now, the Administration is holding up grants and sidestepping what Congress passed. @USDOT: stop holding back billions of dollars in funding to move people and goods more efficiently across America.

RM @RepGregStanton: Your lack of visibility after this horrific flood is shocking. Acting Administrator Richardson: I was in constant communication. Stanton: You were nowhere near Texas at critical moments of search and rescue, and you didn't even show your face for a week.

Trump Administration cuts to FEMA weakened the agency—making it harder to prepare for and respond to natural disasters. Today, @TransportDems will hold Acting Administrator David Richardson accountable for the Agency’s failures.
