I refuse to vote for someone who refuses to uphold the 1,500-hour pilot training requirement.
Americans do not want less-trained, less-prepared pilots in the cockpit flying their planes.
Mr. Bedford must abandon any plan to weaken this gold standard and put the safety of the flying public first.

Defunding Planned Parenthood defunds life-saving care like cancer screenings and abortion.
Republicans had one of the worst ideas.
A federal judge just blocked it.
This is Trump's America.
Where even a Purple Heart Army Veteran is self-deporting because of his cruel, inhumane anti-immigrant agenda.
These are not the values Sae Joon Park sacrificed to defend.
Yet another hero left behind.
Heartbroken by the unimaginable devastation and loss in Texas.
Thinking of the campers, counselors, seniors and beloved members of the community who lost their lives—
And desperately hoping that those remaining unaccounted for are found alive by the heroic first responders.
Our Founding Fathers built this great nation on the premise that no American should ever bow to a king.
But as time often reminds us, freedom isn't guaranteed.
It's fought for—this Fourth of July and always.
Republicans in Congress had a choice:
Vote to protect the people they serve or vote to please Donald Trump.
When millions lose their health care, SNAP benefits, local hospitals and nursing homes—this moment will be remembered.
And the American people will know who to blame.
The ugliness of this bill doesn't stop.
Senate Republicans also voted against your right to breathe clean air.
Senate Republicans just voted to kick 20 million Americans off their health care.
JD Vance thinks that is "minutiae."
Ernst doesn't care because "we're all gonna die."
McConnell says people will "get over it."
Don't EVER let Republicans live this down.
BREAKING: Republicans just blocked my amendment to ensure Veterans, foster kids and the homeless aren’t denied SNAP benefits.
There is no one Republicans won’t betray to ram through tax cuts for their billionaire buddies.
Democrats cut child poverty nearly in half by expanding the Child Tax Credit.
Republicans’ Big, Beautiful Bill denies 22 million low-income kids the full benefits they deserve—while also robbing 16 million kids of their free school lunches.
It's billionaires before kids.
There are only 33 people in America who make a billion dollars or more per year.
Republicans are ready to explode the deficit, shutter hospitals and rob kids of food—
So the top 0.00002% can get a tax cut they don’t need. Read that again.
Republicans don't care how ugly this bill is.
They blocked amendments to:
Undo SNAP cuts.
Remove $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts.
Stop rural hospitals from closing.
Prevent premiums from spiking.
To them, it's about one thing and one thing only:
Tax cuts for billionaires.
This isn’t over yet. Spread the word.
Republicans' Big, Beautiful Bill would:
— Kick 16 million off their health care
— Close 1 out of 4 nursing homes
— Hike your energy bills
— Add at least $4 trillion to the national debt
It’s a gift to the rich and a disaster for families.
Trump is no savior of the middle class.
Firefighters, teachers, police officers, truck drivers—
All of these Americans are set to lose $500 on average as a result of Trump’s tariffs and his Big, Beautiful Bill.
Meanwhile, millionaires will get a $300,000 handout.
Hell no.
Today, we remember Stonewall. 🏳️🌈
No matter how much they try to erase this historic chapter, we will never forget the courageous group of LGBTQ+ Americans—led by trans women of color—who demanded equality, progress and the freedom to live as you are.
I’m begging my Republican colleagues. Please kill this abomination of a bill.
Once again, Trump's extremist Supreme Court is handing him even more power—enabling him to further infringe on our Constitution.
The Fourteenth Amendment is clear: if you're born in America, you are a citizen.
Trump is not a king above the law.
This fight is far from over.
By letting anti-choice states defund Planned Parenthood—
Trump’s Supreme Court threatens access to cancer screenings, life-saving medication and basic care.
Lives are at stake.
And while Republicans cheer, it will be their constituents who suffer the most.
BREAKING: Today, I'm introducing legislation to curb Donald Trump’s egregious misuse of the military as law enforcement.
Our nation's servicemembers should be defending Americans. Not policing them.
