Shut Your App: How Uncle Sam Jawboned Big Tech Into Silencing Americans CommerceRepublicans 2025-10-09 | WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, will convene a full committee hearing titled “Shut Your App: How Uncle Sam Jawboned Big Tech Into Silencing Americans” on Wednesday, October 8, 2025 at 10:00 AM EST. The hearing will examine how government agencies have used tactics to pressure Big Tech into censoring speech protected by the First Amendment, a practice known as “jawboning.”The hearing will expand upon the themes in Sen. Cruz’s recently released report on a censorship campaign conducted in secret by the Biden administration’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The report demonstrates that the agency infringed on the First Amendment by pressuring social media companies to censor Americans that held views different than the Biden administration. CISA faced little pushback from the tech industry or the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General, enabling the agency to avoid accountability. Sen. Cruz warns that CISA’s unchecked censorship serves as a cautionary tale for future policy related to artificial intelligence, a new medium to share and receive information, and one that progressives across the world are already trying to control. The hearing will explore legislative solutions to safeguard Americans from jawboning.Upon announcing the hearing, Sen. Cruz said:“The First Amendment is the bedrock of this country, and we have an obligation to defend it. My recently released report on CISA reveals how the Biden administration threatened the First Amendment by pressuring Big Tech companies to censor lawful speech, disproportionately affecting conservative voices. It is dangerous for the government to abuse its authority and act as the speech police. No free society, built on an informed citizenry and public discourse, can thrive when government censors lawful speech and sets itself up as the arbiter of truth. With growing bipartisan interest in protecting free speech, I am increasingly hopeful Congress can advance legislation to stop government jawboning and safeguard every American’s right to free speech.”Witnesses:Mr. Eugene Volokh, Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University and Gary T.

The hearing will also explore legislative actions to foster AI innovation by preventing overregulation, streamline the development of American AI infrastructure, and strengthen U.S. leadership on the global stage.Upon announcing this hearing, Sen. Budd said:“To win the AI race against China, we must unleash the full potential of American innovation. As the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Science, Manufacturing, and Competitiveness, prioritizing AI advancement without subjecting this technology to overregulation is critical to maintaining America’s competitive edge. I look forward to hearing from Director Kratsios as we examine how the White House’s AI Action Plan will allow Congress to collaborate with the administration on AI policy to accelerate innovation to create new jobs, improve our nation’s technological infrastructure, and ensure America leads the world into the next age of AI development.”Sen. Cruz said:“AI promises to be as transformative as the internet, unleashing a new global industrial revolution that could unlock opportunities for improving quality of life, creating jobs, and stimulating economic growth. The country that leads in AI will shape the 21st century global order. The President’s AI Action Plan is a bold step towards asserting American leadership in AI and thwarting efforts by China to attain global dominance. Congress must work alongside the President to adopt a legislative framework that promotes long-term AI growth and innovation. This hearing will provide the opportunity to discuss the ways this Committee can support the administration’s critical efforts to ensure America leads the way in the AI race.”Witnesses:Mr. Michael Kratsios, Director, White House Office of Science and Technology Policy

The hearing will assess how U.S. policy and investments can foster America’s competitive edge in the face of growing challenges from adversarial nations, like China, whose rapid space advancements pose a direct threat to U.S. leadership in the domain. Upon announcing the hearing, Sen. Cruz said:“For decades, NASA has made the United States a global leader in space explorations, scientific discovery, and innovation. But make no mistake: we are in a 21st century space race. Communist China is not playing by the same rules, and they are aggressively investing resources to dominate space. This hearing is an important opportunity to chart a course that reinforces American leadership in space, strengthens NASA, fuels our growing commercial space sector, and protects our economic and national security interests in the final frontier.”Witnesses:Mr. Allen Cutler, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Coalition for Deep Space ExplorationMr. Michael Gold, President of Civil and International Space for RedwireThe Honorable Jim Bridenstine, Managing Partner of the Artemis Group and Former Administrator for the National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationLieutenant General John Shaw, Former Deputy Commander of the U.S. Space Command

Upon announcing this hearing, Sen. Young said:“The trucking and motorcoach industries are essential to Indiana’s economy and support thousands of Hoosier jobs. These drivers work long, demanding hours to keep our communities connected and our supply chains running. FMCSA plays a crucial role in ensuring safety on our roads while allowing these industries to thrive. This hearing is a chance to ensure policymakers pursue a thoughtful approach to legislating that strengthens our infrastructure, boosts economic growth, fosters industry innovation, and keeps America moving safely.”Sen. Cruz said:“America’s trucking and motorcoach industries are more than just transportation. They are the lifeblood of our economy, connecting supply chains, creating millions of jobs, and ensuring the efficient and timely delivery of goods. FMCSA has a clear responsibility to protect safety on our roads, but it must do so without placing unnecessary burdens on the very industries that keep America moving.

Finding Nemo’s Future: Conflicts over Ocean Resources CommerceRepublicans 2025-06-13 | WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation’s Subcommittee on Coast Guard, Maritime, and Fisheries, will convene a hearing titled “Finding Nemo’s Future: Conflicts over Ocean Resources” on Thursday, June 12, 2025, at 10:00 am EST. This hearing will examine U.S. efforts to counter illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing and explore opportunities to strengthen enforcement, coordination, and technological innovation. The hearing will evaluate existing legislative authorities and international agreements and examine policy options to advance maritime domain awareness and promote responsible ocean governance in the face of rising IUU activity.IUU fishing is a global problem that threatens ocean ecosystems and sustainable fisheries because it bypasses laws, depletes fish stocks through overfishing, damages marine habitats, and undermines efforts to manage resources responsibly. IUU fishing also threatens economic security and places law-abiding fishermen and seafood producers in the United States and abroad at a competitive disadvantage by enabling illegal operators to evade regulations, use forced labor, and flood the market with untraceable, unregulated, and unverified seafood.Upon announcing this hearing, Sen. Sullivan said:“Foreign illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing from Russia and China ignore basic seafood harvest rules and best practices, and ravage fish stocks without regard for any other users or future generations. IUU gray fleets, which literally utilize slave labor in many cases, are a cancer on fisheries throughout the world and undercut Alaskan and American fishermen, who fish sustainably. We cannot allow rogue fleets backed by authoritarian regimes to continue plundering our oceans and undermine international law, particularly as Russia and China use their fishing fleets to project power in the Indo-Pacific and, increasingly, around the world. I’ve worked with my colleagues on the Commerce Committee to combat this issue in the past, and this hearing is a next step to hear directly from our fishermen and coastal communities and protect their livelihoods, our oceans, and U.S. national security.”Sen. Cruz said:“Criminals are poaching red snapper out of Texas waters, undercutting our fishermen and threatening coastal economies. Cracking down on illegal fishing operations and enforcing maritime law helps safeguard our borders from cartels and other criminal entities which use profits from illegal fishing to fund drug and human smuggling. This hearing will help my colleagues and I better understand ways Congress can support the work of the Trump administration and our allies to hold these criminal entities accountable, protect American consumers, and strengthen our seafood industry.”Witnesses:Mr. Gregory Poling, Director and Senior Fellow, Southeast Asia Program and Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative, Center for Strategic & International StudiesMr. Nathan Rickard, Partner, Picard Kentz & RoweMr. Gabriel Prout, President, Alaska Bering Sea Crabbers

This hearing will examine preliminary findings from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) on the deadly crash involving American Airlines 5342 and a U.S. Army Blackhawk helicopter near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA).Upon announcing this hearing, Sen. Moran said:“The NTSB’s preliminary report lays the foundation for understanding what circumstances led to the deadly accident over the Potomac that claimed 67 lives. I appreciate the NTSB, FAA, DoD and other parties collaborating on this investigation and expect their continued cooperation as I lead a subcommittee hearing on March 27th to review the report and work to determine policy changes that may be necessary to prevent future tragedies. While this report provides some clarity, I know that nothing will take away the pain felt by the families of the victims, and I continue to pray for the Kansans, and all Americans, who are grieving this loss.”Sen. Cruz said:“The midair collision at DCA is a tragedy that has left the families of 67 souls grieving, and the investigation into the causes of this accident will continue until we know precisely what went wrong on the evening of January 29th. With complete jurisdiction over the national airspace, the Commerce Committee has an obligation to support those families and to do everything in Congress’ power to keep the flying public safe. I look forward to hearing from key federal officials about the preliminary findings on the cause of this tragic accident.”Witnesses:Jennifer Homendy, Chairman, National Transportation Safety BoardChris Rocheleau, Acting Administrator, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)Brigadier General Matthew Braman, Director, Army Aviation, United States Army
House Leaders Pledge to Advance ‘Take It Down’ Act at Sen Cruz Roundtable with the First Lady CommerceRepublicans 2025-03-06 | WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, and U.S. Representative Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) hosted a bipartisan roundtable with First Lady Melania Trump to hear from victims of revenge and deepfake pornography and highlight the urgent need for the House to pass the bipartisan TAKE IT DOWN Act. The bill, which passed the Senate unanimously, criminalizes the publication of such non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII), including explicit content generated by artificial intelligence.The First Lady, Sen. Cruz, and Rep. Salazar were joined by members of House leadership, including Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), Republican Conference Chair Lisa McClain (R-Mich.), Energy and Commerce Chair Brett Guthrie (R-Ky.), and Republican Policy Chair Kevin Hern (R-Okla.). Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), a vocal supporter of the TAKE IT DOWN Act, was also in attendance. House leaders responded by pledging to take swift action on the TAKE IT DOWN Act. During the roundtable, victim advocates and experts on revenge and deepfake pornography shared personal stories and expressed how these incidents have forever changed lives. Below is a summary of comments from today’s event.Sen. Cruz said: “If you’re a victim of revenge or AI generated explicit imagery, your life changes forever, most likely you’ve been targeted by someone you know, and you’re likely struggling to have that material removed from the internet[…]“The TAKE IT DOWN Act empowers victims across the entire United States. It makes it a felony for these deviants to publish any non-consensual intimate images, including fake, lifelike pornographic images of real people. Just as importantly, our bipartisan bill requires Big Tech to have a notice-and-takedown process so every victimized American – not just the rich or famous – can get these disturbing images offline immediately. “We are, today, one step closer to making this dream a reality. Just three weeks ago, the Senate unanimously passed the TAKE IT DOWN Act. Now, it goes to my House colleagues, and I have every assurance and confidence that the House will take this up, pass it, and put it on the President's desk so that we can protect the victims of these predators.“And we’re very excited to be joined today by the First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump. Mrs. Trump has long been a champion for protecting our nation's children with her “Be Best” initiative. And I can think of no more important issue for our First Lady to lead on than protecting children online. Your success will mean our children's success and healing for thousands of victims.”First Lady Melania Trump said: “I am here with you today with a common goal – to protect our youth from online harm. The widespread presence of abusive behavior in the digital domain affects the daily lives of our children, families, and communities. Addressing this issue is essential for fostering a safe and supportive environment for our young people. I hope today’s roundtable builds awareness of the harm caused by non-consensual intimate imagery and eventually the approval of the TAKE IT DOWN Act in Congress […]“As First Lady, my commitment to the ‘Be Best’ initiative underscores the importance of online safety. In an era where digital interactions are integral to daily life, it is imperative that we safeguard children from mean-spirited and hurtful online behavior. Ensuring their protection is not just a responsibility but a vital step in nurturing tomorrow’s leaders […]“I urge Congress to prioritize the passage of the TAKE IT DOWN Act. This legislation is essential for addressing the growing concerns related to online safety, protecting individual rights, and promoting a healthier digital environment. By advancing this bill, Congress can take an important step towards ensuring accountability and fostering responsible online behavior. The TAKE IT DOWN Act represents a powerful step toward justice, healing, and unity.”More info here: commerce.senate.gov/2025/3/house-leaders-pledge-to-advance-take-it-down-act-at-sen-cruz-s-bipartisan-roundtable-with-first-lady-melania-trump

Sen. Cruz: Bradbury is an Exceptionally Qualified Leader Who Will Drive Intelligent Change at DOT CommerceRepublicans 2025-02-20 | In his opening statement at today’s Senate Commerce Committee confirmation hearing for the Deputy Secretary of Transportation, Chairman Ted Cruz (R-Texas) endorsed the nomination of Steven Bradbury. Sen. Cruz highlighted Mr. Bradbury’s past leadership roles at the Department of Transportation (DOT), including time as General Counsel and Acting Secretary, as well as Mr. Bradbury’s legal work in the private sector dealing with transportation matters. Mr. Bradbury will draw on his experience to help keep travelers safe, responsibly invest in the nation’s infrastructure, and ensure the DOT operates efficiently.Here are Sen. Cruz’s remarks as prepared for delivery:“Today, we are considering the nomination of Steven Bradbury to be Deputy Secretary of the Department of Transportation. If confirmed, Mr. Bradbury will serve as the Department’s second-in-command, overseeing day-to-day operations and implementing critical safety policies for our nation’s transportation system.“Mr. Bradbury is exceptionally well-qualified for this position. He served as General Counsel of the Department from 2017 to 2021 and briefly as Acting Secretary. As DOT’s chief legal counsel, Mr. Bradbury supervised a team of over 500 attorneys and support staff. He oversaw rulemaking and enforcement, as well as regulatory reforms, saving the Department $98 billion. In 2020, Mr. Bradbury received the Secretary’s Distinguished Service Award.“Prior to the first Trump administration, Mr. Bradbury was a partner at major law firms here in Washington, D.C. He dealt with various transportation matters in private practice, including a consequential airline merger and one of the largest automotive recalls in history.“Mr. Bradbury also led the Office of Legal Counsel at the Department of Justice and clerked at both the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court. Simply put, his legal and policy credentials are of the highest caliber.“But he is also suited for those aspects of the DOT role that can’t be captured in a resume: recognizing that lives are indirectly in your hands, listening to accident victims’ families and taking action to prevent future tragedies. More than many public servants, Mr. Bradbury has had to grapple with the fact that public policy has real-life consequences. He knows that with power comes responsibility.“Mr. Bradbury will work closely with Secretary Duffy to help keep travelers safe and to responsibly invest in the nation’s infrastructure. I have made it clear that safety—particularly in the aviation sector—must be his foremost priority. To that end, Mr. Bradbury is ready to eliminate non-statutory policy objectives that have been detracting from the Department’s core safety mission.“I’ve also emphasized Congress’s role in enhancing safety and the importance of complying with congressional oversight. Mr. Bradbury is prepared to be forthcoming with Congress, in line with commitments Secretary Duffy made to this Committee a few weeks ago to turn over information we’ve requested.“Finally, as I noted, Mr. Bradbury is a smart regulator. He has a track record of substantial cost savings at DOT and will come on board at a time when this administration—and the American people—are particularly focused on government efficiency. With Mr. Bradbury, we get someone with the experience to drive intelligent change, the kind of change that improves outcomes while saving taxpayers money.“I have received over twenty letters of support for Mr. Bradbury from major transportation groups representing sectors from aviation and trucking to ports and waterways. I too support his confirmation and look forward to hearing more about his approach to the Department.”

Cruz sounded alarms over Russia’s expansive military presence in the Arctic and China’s significant monopoly over the supply chain of critical minerals. To combat the ambitions of these global powers, the U.S. Coast Guard needs to build up a capable and available fleet of heavy polar icebreakers, including Polar Security Cutters, to support scientific research, defend U.S. sovereignty, and ensure the safe and secure flow of maritime commerce.commerce.senate.gov/2025/2/sen-cruz-discussing-u-s-acquisition-of-greenland-is-about-diplomacy-and-shared-interests

Sen. Cruz: Sean Duffy is a Dedicated Public Servant Who Will Create a More Efficient DOT CommerceRepublicans 2025-01-15 | WASHINGTON, D.C. – In his opening statement at today’s Senate Commerce Committee confirmation hearing for the Secretary of Transportation, Chairman Ted Cruz (R-Texas) outlined his agenda for the next two years and affirmed his support for Congressman Sean Duffy. Sen. Cruz declared his intentions to regularly hold hearings and move bills through the committee. He reiterated his commitment to working with his colleagues on both sides of the aisle to address shared priorities.Additionally, Sen. Cruz highlighted Congressman Duffy’s past leadership in Congress to improve the transportation sector and emphasized the need to eliminate burdensome regulations at the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), invest in infrastructure enhancements, and promote safer travel.Here are Sen. Cruz’s remarks as prepared for delivery:“Good morning. The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation will come to order. “I would like to take a few moments to speak to how I intend to lead this Committee over the next two years. The Commerce Committee has a strong tradition of bipartisanship and collegiality — more so than other committees. It is my desire that we continue in that tradition whether we’re working on legislation or processing nominations. I have no doubt there will be vigorous debate and severe disagreements. We may spar from time to time, but I believe we’ll be able to do a lot working together for the benefit of our country.“I intend this to be a committee of energy, vigor, and accomplishment. There will be committee hearings and we’ll be regularly moving bills out of this committee and through the Senate. To Ranking Member Cantwell and my colleagues on both sides of the aisle here at the Committee, I look forward to working with each of you on policies that serve the American people by creating jobs, spurring economic growth, and keeping families safe from crime or victimization.“Before we begin on today’s nomination, I’d also like to welcome the newest members: Senators Curtis, Moreno, Sheehy, Fetterman, Kim, and Blunt Rochester. I look forward to working with you and your teams this congress.“Turning to the topic at hand, today’s hearing is on the President-elect’s nomination of former Wisconsin Congressman Sean Duffy to be Secretary of Transportation.“Congress established the Department of Transportation in 1966 to ensure “the provision of fast, safe, efficient, and convenient transportation.” Consider what has happened since: In 1966, man had not yet set foot on the moon. Now, we are using drones in everyday life, riding in driverless cars, and sending private missions into space. A new era in transportation and infrastructure is here.“Congressman Duffy is a dedicated public servant who is well qualified to lead this important department. In addition to nearly a decade of service as Northwestern Wisconsin’s representative to Congress, he is a former prosecutor, a family man, and someone who cares deeply about the future of this country. As a father of nine, Congressman Duffy knows better than most the truth of President-elect Trump’s comment on “how important it is for families to be able to travel safely, and with peace of mind.”“In the House, Congressman Duffy partnered with members across the aisle to improve transportation in his state. That includes members of this very committee with whom he worked to fund the St. Croix Crossing, replacing a decades-old, structurally deficient bridge between Wisconsin and Minnesota. He also advanced port infrastructure improvements as co-chair of the Great Lakes Task Force. “Congressman Duffy will promote a leaner, more efficient DOT, eliminating onerous regulations while responsibly investing in the nation’s infrastructure and ensuring safety. I strongly support his nomination to this position and look forward to hearing more about his qualifications and vision for the Department at today’s hearing.###

Cruz: 737 Max Crashes Are Reminder of Importance of Having FAA Leader with Deep Technical Expertise CommerceRepublicans 2023-03-08 | In his opening statement at today’s full committee hearing titled the “Implementation and Oversight of the Aircraft Certification, Safety, and Accountability Act,” Ranking Member Ted Cruz (R-Texas) discussed the FAA’s reforms in the wake of the Boeing 737 MAX tragedies, and highlighted the importance of an FAA administrator with the technical expertise to implement critical reforms — expertise President Biden’s FAA nominee, Phil Washington, lacks. “In October 2018, 189 people were killed when a Boeing 737 MAX airplane crashed into the sea after it took off from Jakarta, Indonesia. Just four months later, in March 2019, another Boeing 737 MAX crashed after departing an airport in Ethiopia, killing all 157 people on board. Today’s hearing reminds us of the terrible toll these crashes took on the victims and their families, as well as the life and death consequences of the FAA’s aviation safety mission. “Soon after the Ethiopian crash, I was among the first members of Congress to call for grounding the MAX. It needed to be grounded until aviation experts could determine what had caused the crashes and guarantee that the flying public would be safe. I stand by that decision. It gave the FAA time to correct critical design flaws in the MAX and help make it safer." [...] "... It has been said many times, aviation safety regulations have been written in blood. In the case of the reforms contained in ACSAA, that is sadly the case. Today, I want to hear from FAA Acting Administrator Nolen what steps the FAA, and the aviation industry, are taking to ensure that we don’t just respond to crashes, but also take proactive measures to prevent future tragedies. “This Committee should use the upcoming FAA reauthorization process to evaluate what additional reforms, if any, are needed to accomplish the goals of ACSAA. But we should also use reauthorization to examine ACSAA’s regulatory impact on manufacturers, both large and small. “Like many members of the Senate, I fly multiple times a week. The numerous recent near-misses by airliners this year are very troubling. Since Administrator Nolen testified before us less than a month ago, there have been two more known near-misses. That’s six so far this year. “In response, Administrator Nolen is convening a safety summit with aviation leaders next week. I look forward to reviewing any recommendations that come from that meeting. “The 737 MAX crashes and the problems at the FAA that were subsequently uncovered are stark reminders of why it’s so important to have an FAA leader with deep technical expertise. You simply cannot entrust the role of protecting millions of Americans who fly with a person who needs on-the-job training. It’s irresponsible. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what we have with President Biden’s FAA nominee, Phil Washington. “His hearing last week confirmed what’s abundantly clear in his resume: he lacks the aviation experience to lead the FAA. He was unable to answer basic safety questions about the 737 MAX crashes, aircraft certification, and how a pilot might react when a system malfunctions. It’s no mystery why. “Unlike other FAA administrators, including Administrator Nolen, who has decades of aviation experience, Mr. Washington has never flown a plane, never worked for an airline, and never earned certificates in aviation safety. His much-vaunted job as CEO of Denver’s airport—which he’s held for less than two years—primarily involves overseeing the airport’s shopping, dining, parking, and buildings, not aviation matters. “It isn’t just Republicans who have raised concerns about Mr. Washington’s lack of qualifications to lead the FAA. At last week’s hearing, multiple Democrats on this Committee did as well—and rightfully so. The safety challenges and responsibilities of the FAA are far too important to have anyone other than a highly experienced aviation expert at the helm. “I would leave my Democratic colleagues with this thought. As you listen to Administrator Nolen testify today ask yourselves this question: Could Phil Washington come anywhere close to Administrator Nolen’s expertise and knowledge? The honest answer is “No.” And that answer leads to one conclusion: to keep the flying public safe, the Senate must reject Mr. Washington’s nomination.” Full written remarks: commerce.senate.gov/2023/3/sen-cruz-737-max-crashes-are-stark-reminder-of-why-an-faa-leader-must-have-deep-technical-expertise

Sen. Cruz: Phil Washington Doesn’t Qualify Because of His Inadequate Aviation Safety Experience CommerceRepublicans 2023-03-01 | WASHINGTON, D.C. – In his opening statement at today’s full committee to consider President Biden’s nominee for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator, Phil Washington, Ranking Member Ted Cruz (R-Texas) detailed his concerns over Washington’s thin aviation safety record, legal entanglements, and ineligibility to serve as FAA administrator without a congressional waiver.Ranking Member Cruz’s opening remarks, as prepared for delivery:The FAA faces enormous challenges. It must modernize its airspace while safely integrating new entrants, like drones. It’s trying to keep its reputation as the gold standard for aviation safety while dealing with far too many “close calls” and operating an outdated air traffic control system that must safely move roughly two million passengers every day.To meet its mission, the FAA needs a permanent leader with decades of experience in aviation to make sure the flying public is safe — the agency’s primary obligation. This obligation is so important Congress mandated the FAA administrator must “have experience in a field directly related to aviation.”The nominee before us, Phil Washington, doesn’t qualify because he has woefully inadequate aviation experience.I’m disappointed this administration has decided to treat a critical safety position as a patronage job. As a result of the Biden White House playing politics with the flying public’s safety, the FAA has lacked Senate-confirmed leadership for a year.I expect we’ll hear some Democrats gloss over Mr. Washington’s lack of aviation and aviation safety experience by saying he has a record of strong management at transit agencies – proof he has what it takes to lead the FAA.But his record demonstrates the opposite. The Democrat city transit agencies he’s run have been beset by mismanagement and wasteful spending. In 2019, CBS News reported Mr. Washington tried to add a $200,000 sauna to the LA Metro’s employee gym after being presented with a more taxpayer-friendly $50,000 version. He proposed this lavish spending as city buses “broke down and caught fire due to lack of money.”The New York Times reported that a Denver rail project overseen by Mr. Washington ran up a two billion dollar-plus deficit and had become over 30 years behind schedule!Just last month, Mr. Washington and other Denver officials spent more than $100,000 on a junket to Africa to drum up service to Denver’s airport. Government waste and delayed, over-budget projects are things we want to change at the FAA, not continue. I’m afraid Mr. Washington’s record also suggests that he’d focus on virtue-signaling at a time when the FAA must be laser-focused on aviation safety and modernization. As LA Metro CEO, he said “everything we do in terms of mobility, we look through the lens of equity.”At the Denver airport, he’s spending millions of dollars to build a special “Hall of Equity” and changed the contract bidding process to place a heavier emphasis on equity and so-called “sociocultural merits.” Safety — not political posturing — needs to be paramount at the FAA above all else. I also have serious concerns regarding outstanding allegations of misconduct going back to Mr. Washington’s time at LA Metro. He was named in multiple search warrants in an ongoing criminal public corruption investigation and was the subject of multiple whistleblower complaints.One whistleblower who exposed details of a politically-connected contracting scheme claims to have been retaliated against by Mr. Washington. After Mr. Washington went to Denver, LA Metro settled the claims for more than half-a-million dollars. And just last month, Mr. Washington was named in a discrimination and retaliation lawsuit filed by a former Denver airport employee. Mr. Washington failed to notify this Committee of the lawsuit—one of dozens of omissions in his questionnaire—suggesting he has not been fully transparent and raising concerns about how he’ll collaborate with us as we work to reauthorize the FAA...Full remarks as prepared for delivery: commerce.senate.gov/2023/3/sen-cruz-phil-washington-doesn-t-qualify-because-he-has-woefully-inadequate-aviation-safety-experience

Cruz: The Flying Public Is Stuck with a Self-regulating Agency Stuck in the 20th Century CommerceRepublicans 2023-02-15 | In his opening statement at today’s full committee hearing on “the Federal Aviation Administration’s NOTAM System Failure and its Impacts on a Resilient National Airspace,” Ranking Member Ted Cruz (R-Texas) criticized U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s failure to deliver any meaningful reforms to the FAA and discussed the need for upgrades to the FAA and its air traffic organization in light of the unprecedented NOTAM failure that stranded thousands of travelers. Ranking Member Cruz’s opening remarks, as prepared for delivery: Thank you, Chairwoman Cantwell, for convening this hearing today, and thank you, Acting Administrator Nolen, for appearing. While I look forward to hearing from you, I’m disappointed in the lack of a Senate-confirmed witness like Secretary Buttigieg, who ultimately oversees the agency responsible for the NOTAM failure.On the afternoon of January 10th, the FAA’s Notice to Air Missions system failed. About 15 hours later, after failing to reboot the system, the FAA ordered a full ground stop of the National Airspace System for the first time since September 11th. 22 years ago, the ground stop was because America was under attack. This more recent ground stop, meanwhile, was the result of a federal agency’s inability to modernize, despite Congress providing the requested resources to do so.The Washington Post called the ground stop “almost unprecedented” and said the FAA “learned long ago their systems were dependent on rickety foundations, but didn’t do enough to update technology…” Despite a similar outage in 2008, the FAA still has not improved the system. A technology specialist involved in the 2008 outage blamed “organizational inertia,” something I have heard many times before when people describe problems with the FAA.The Wall Street Journal said “given the importance of the FAA’s mission, this kind of failure is hard to excuse. If glitches happen all the time, why doesn’t the FAA have redundancies? Canada’s NOTAM system, operated by a nonprofit, experienced apparently unrelated problems the same day as the United States, but planes there kept flying.”The NOTAM breakdown last month was clearly a mistake. I fear it is emblematic of a culture afraid to innovate, stuck operating inefficiently, and illustrative of why President Biden needs to choose an administrator for the FAA with a proven ability to managing change within large organizations AND has the requisite aviation and safety experience. The FAA’s safety mission is too important to take for granted.There’s a front-page story in the Wall Street Journal today on the FAA’s inability to modernize NOTAM. In the story, an FAA spokesman claims that prioritizing NOTAM upgrades wouldn’t guarantee funding.That’s a lie.Congress has fully funded NOTAM modernization for more than ten years. Every year since 2013, Congress has given as much, or more than, the amount requested by the executive branch. And yet, full modernization is still several years away. After investing millions of dollars, I’m wondering why is this bureaucracy taking so long to do its job? And, is the system even worth modernizing at this point? Because the status quo is simply not acceptable. There must be accountability when an agency is not using taxpayer funds efficiently. That, of course, starts with an accountable leader. Now in his third year as Secretary of Transportation, Secretary Buttigieg has failed to deliver any meaningful reform to the FAA. Although NOTAM modernization started ten years ago, this administration seems focused on semantics. Whether it’s replacing the term “mother” with “birthing person” or creating a new checkbox on passports for people who claim to be neither man nor woman, this administration’s desire to signal its virtue knows no limit. It’s even infected the FAA. Instead of focusing on safety, the FAA and DOT were working hard to change NOTAM’s name from “Notice to Airmen” to “Notice to Air Missions.” Shockingly, this “reform of NOTAM” did not prevent an outage.In 1994, Al Gore proposed to reform the FAA into a self-funding, more efficient organization. Today, the flying public is stuck with a self-regulating and flailing agency stuck in the 20th century. It is my hope that we can use this hearing and the 2023 FAA reauthorization bill to explore meaningful reforms to the FAA and its air traffic organization.
Cruz: Sohn Is an Extreme Partisan Who Lacks the Impartiality and Candor Necessary To Sit On FCC CommerceRepublicans 2023-02-15 | Ranking Member Cruz in the full committee to consider the nomination of Gigi Sohn to be a Commissioner of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), detailed Ms. Sohn’s lengthy record of extremism, poor ethics, bad judgment, and disdain for Congress. Ranking Member Cruz’s opening remarks, as prepared for delivery: “Vetting a nominee to the Federal Communications Commission is a serious task. The FCC is an agency with vast power over how Americans communicate and what information they access. It is also an agency with a history of abusing vague statutory provisions to pursue partisan policy goals.“We know enough from today’s extreme left what happens when power is put in the wrong hands. It doesn’t take much to imagine a partisan FCC going down a dark path in attempting to censor what we see, hear, read, and ultimately, think. “As such, our responsibility as senators is to make sure an FCC nominee not only has the expertise to be an independent regulator, but also possess good judgment and temperament. The nominee must be fair, ethical, and perhaps most importantly, honest.“On all these fronts, Gigi Sohn fails. “There is a reason we are on our third nomination hearing for Ms. Sohn. Both during this process and in her previous positions, she has shown herself to be an extreme partisan who lacks the impartiality and candor necessary to serve in a leadership position at a powerful independent regulatory agency.“She has displayed bad judgment and poor ethics.“And she has associated herself with the most radical views on the far left.“I will break down each of these points, but first, let’s recap how we got here.Full remarks: commerce.senate.gov/2023/2/sen-cruz-gigi-sohn-is-an-extreme-partisan-who-lacks-the-impartiality-and-candor-necessary-to-sit-on-fccMore info: Facebook: facebook.com/SenateCommerceTwitter: twitter.com/SenateCommerceWebsite: commerce.senate.gov/rankingmember
