Not only does this raise serious concerns about #Whitaker’s current actions as Acting Attorney General, but it also calls into question @TheJusticeDept’s ethics procedures to assess & address potential conflicts of @realDonaldTrump’s nominee to be Attorney General, William Barr.

Acting Attorney General #Whitaker’s decision to ignore the advice of career DOJ ethics officials to recuse himself from oversight of the #MuellerInvestigation indicates that @TheJusticeDept’s internal ethics procedures have failed. https://t.co/fQNhN46ffZ

I’m deeply saddened by the reports out of Pittsburgh this morning. My heart goes out to the victims of this horrific violence, and I am grateful to the first responders in the scene.

And the findings bolster what we are hearing from economists: that #climatechange puts us on course for an implosion of coastal property values as well as trillions in stranded fossil fuel assets. #IPCCReport

The bill included language based on my Drone Operator Safety bill to make it a criminal offense to interfere with aircraft using a drone or fly a drone near runways.

I'm proud my work on the bipartisan Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Act will help make passengers more comfortable, make our skies safer, and possibly lead to cheaper and cleaner air travel. https://t.co/BIAaIsvaRY

Glad that the bill included my provision requiring the FAA & @NASA to review research on technologies fuels, and designs to boost aircraft fuel efficiency.

I worked with @SenBlumenthal & @SenMarkey to include our provision requiring the @FAANews to stablish minimum dimensions for passenger seats on airplanes.

They have extraordinary power to fix whatever they want. Any two just say, “not voting for #Kavanaugh until X,” and you can be pretty sure X will happen. Stacking the Court is THE TOP priority for big corporate special interests.

I appreciate the concern expressed by #Republican colleagues about the state of our nation.
