Congratulations to Randy Bresnik, Luca Parmitano, Frank Rubio, Andre Douglas, and Bob Hines on being selected for NASA's Artemis III mission! With the help of Washington state's aerospace innovators, engineers, and skilled workforce, this highly complex mission will prove out key technologies for docking the Orion spacecraft with our lunar landers in Earth orbit. This is an integral step for the United States to return to the moon and to establish a lasting presence there.
LIVE: Meet the crew of our next Artemis mission.

The Protect College Sports Act amends the Sports Broadcasting Act to unlock billions in new revenue for ALL schools and it stops schools from cutting women's and Olympic sports to fund football arms races. This is how we save college sports for generations to come.

Student athletes ARE college sports. It's time the rules reflected that.

The Protect College Sports Act puts athletes first:
- 10-year scholarship guarantee
- Medical coverage in school and 5 years post-eligibility
- Athletes are 1/3 of governing board seats
- Reins in bad agents & caps fees at 5%
College athletes deserve enforceable rights.

@CrowleyMaritime’s Clayton Heil testified before @SenateCommerce & @commercedems on the risks of extending the Jones Act waiver.
The waiver is actively undermining domestic maritime companies and the future of @UsmmaO.

“It's not the courage of the four standing here in blue, but it's the courage of people like Charlie Blackwell-Thompson, our launch director, who had the courage to wake up and actually let that vehicle leave the launch pad with four souls on board.” @astro_reid

Qatar gifted Trump a luxury jet. The UAE invested in the Trump family’s crypto. Saudi Arabia is ranked one of the world's worst press freedom violators.
Now all three want the Trump FCC to grant them a major stake in one of America's biggest media outlets. commerce.senate.gov/press/de…
