1/ The federal investments in semiconductor manufacturing announced today are expected to create 280,000 jobs nationwide. 👇 — PolitiTweet.org

4/ Every railroad must reexamine its hazardous materials safety practices to better protect its employees, the environment, and American families and reaffirm safety as a top priority. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

3/ While some of these changes may be an improvement, they also come with new risks that current federal regulations may not consider. Thousands of trains carrying hazardous materials, like the one that derailed in Ohio, travel through communities throughout the nation each day. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

2/ Over the past five years, the Class I railroads have cut their workforce by nearly one third, shuttered railyards where railcars are traditionally inspected, and are running longer and heavier trains. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

1/ I sent a letter to Norfolk Southern requesting information to help determine how to improve safety. The derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, is a stark reminder about the dangers posed by transporting toxic and flammable hazardous materials. @nscorp https://t.co/98WkpBGSjo — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

2/ I want to get an answer from the Federal Aviation Administration about the NOTAM system having a separate backup, a totally separate backup that could be used. @FAANews — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

1/ There have been a number of concerning incidents that highlight the importance of making safety the top priority. They impact Americans’ confidence in our aviation system and our aviation infrastructure is critical to American safety and security. https://t.co/Z7rKeN1DuJ — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

2/ Rising drug prices have stretched Americans’ budgets over the past decade. Passing my Pharmacy Benefit Manager Transparency Act will direct the FTC to rein in unfair and deceptive practices to help create a fair market. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

1/ Since 2014, prescription drug prices have increased 35%, outpacing increases in wages, gas, internet service & food. These are the practices that are driving Americans crazy & they want some transparency. The evidence suggests that PBMs are part of the high drug cost increase. https://t.co/VDvLyGOwNi — PolitiTweet.org

In 1889, our great state was named after the first president of the United States. Happy #PresidentsDay to all Washingtonians! https://t.co/afISi3nBZO — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

I asked the COO of @SouthwestAir how many people actually received refunds and did not get a clear answer. The Committee deserves clarity on these questions, in light of the fact that on 02/03/2023, Southwest said that the airline had ‘processed’ 99.5% of refund requests. https://t.co/DvrEI1MING — PolitiTweet.org

3/ This bill will jumpstart the technology development needed to remove the most dangerous junk before it knocks out a satellite – or worse, a NASA mission. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

2/ Just last month, two Russian satellites came within 20 feet of colliding, which would have littered space with even more debris. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

1/ Space exploration is expected to become a $1 trillion economy by 2040, but space junk poses a serious danger to the industry’s safety and viability.🚀🛰️🔭https://t.co/eVavuNBVHl — PolitiTweet.org

Led by Ketanji Brown Jackson, the 1st Black woman & the 1st former federal public defender to serve on the Supreme Court, the judges come from diverse backgrounds, believe in upholding well-established legal precedents & sit well within the mainstream of American legal thought — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

We have now confirmed 100 federal judges since 2021, including 6 who will serve the WA State. It's good to see this Administration’s commitment to rectifying historical underrepresentation on the bench — 76 of the 100 confirmed judges are women, and 68 are people of color. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

2/ My heart is with the students, faculty, and staff of Michigan State University, as well as the families of the three MSU students that were tragically killed. We cannot keep repeating this nightmare. Congress must pass legislation to protect our communities. — PolitiTweet.org
