America is the greatest country in the history of the world and we should not accept second rate technology and infrastructure.

The President and @SecDuffy are right. We must pass our Modern Skies Act to give FAA the funds they need to bring our ATC tech and airport infrastructure into the 21st century.

This isn’t a partisan issue — this is about the safety of all Americans.

🚨Our Air Traffic Control technology and airport infrastructure is seriously outdated. This problem has been decades in the making.

The events of today and the nationwide ground stop should be a wake-up call. This is a huge public safety and national security issue.

The Senate, and later the House, should immediately pass our Modern Skies Act in a reconciliation bill before the end of this Congress. We should have a sense of urgency about this. No more kicking the can down the road. No more passing the buck.

The greatest country in the history of the world should have world-class technology and airport infrastructure.

This is the human cost of Democrats refusing to enforce our immigration laws.

This illegal alien only had a trucker’s license because Democrats like Pritzker are violating federal law. Now a family has been torn apart.

At every turn, Democrats make it clear: they don’t care about you or your family’s safety, their priority is the illegal alien.

Here is the arrest report for the truck driver who never even bothered to put on his brakes before slamming into three vehicles in Missouri this week.

The driver—an illegal immigrant from Ukraine who lives in Chicago —killed a mother and two of her children, seriously injured the father and another child, and seriously injured a driver in a separate vehicle.

The Illinois Secretary of State issued the migrant, who entered the U.S. illegally in 2023, a commercial drivers license last year. The office is under investigation as to how this individual obtained a “non domiciled” CDL, which requires passing both a written test and a field skills test.
