The resolution honoring the @NASAArtemis II mission and its amazing crew passed the Senate last night - congratulations again to @NASA and to everyone who contributed to the success of the mission!

Statement from @senatorcantwell on the unprecedented firing of the members of the National Science Board, which oversees the National Science Foundation.

Bryan Bedford told Congress he would be "radically transparent." Yet, he violated his ethics agreement, gave conflicting explanations and refused to answer the Committee’s questions. Time for an independent investigation. commerce.senate.gov/press/dem/rele…

Former airline CEO Bryan Bedford signed an ethics agreement to divest his airline stock by Oct 2025. Instead, he stalled until a lucrative merger closed — & made up to $25M+. @SenatorCantwell @SenDuckworth & @SenMarkey are demanding a DOT IG investigation. commerce.senate.gov/press/dem/rele…

A resolution introduced this week by @SenatorCantwell & @SenTedCruz honors the Artemis II crew and their record-breaking journey. Now let's finish the job, pass the NASA Authorization Act of 2026, and build the permanent Moon base. commerce.senate.gov/press/dem/rele…

FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford had 16,733 private shares in his airline company when he took office. In violation of his ethics agreement, Bedford waited until a merger closed & turned them into 652,475 public shares, potentially worth more than $25M.

When former airline exec Bryan Bedford wanted to lead the FAA, he promised Congress he'd divest his company shares. Instead, he held onto them until a lucrative merger closed – potentially boosting his payday by MILLIONS . commerce.senate.gov/press/dem/rele…

Did FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford deliberately violate his ethics agreement so he could boost his airline stock payout by millions? @SenatorCantwell, @SenDuckworth & @SenMarkey are calling for a DOT Inspector General investigation now. commerce.senate.gov/wp-content/upl…

41 Washington state companies helped make the Artemis II mission an incredible success. A bipartisan resolution introduced yesterday by @SenatorCantwell & @SenTedCruz honors that achievement and the workers behind it. Proud of every single one. commerce.senate.gov/press/dem/rele…

.@SenatorCantwell & @SenTedCruz have introduced a resolution honoring the Artemis II crew. The mission took humans farther from Earth than ever before and reached 252,760 miles from home. Congratulations to the crew! commerce.senate.gov/press/dem/rele…

When the supreme court gutted FTC’s power to return money owed to victims of fraud and scams, bad actors cheered and consumers lost billions. Dems have a bill to restore FTC’s power to protect consumers and get their money back.

Companies that defraud consumers should be held accountable and pay back the people they ripped off. Sen. Cantwell's Consumer Protection Remedies Act restores the FTC's power to make sure they are. commerce.senate.gov/press/dem/rele…

If a company breaks the law and defrauds consumers, consumers should get their money back. Period. @senatorcantwell’s Consumer Protection Remedies Act of 2026 restores the FTC's power to do exactly that. commerce.senate.gov/press/dem/rele…

Consumers lost a record $15.9 billion to scammers and fraudsters in 2025 alone. @senatorcantwell, @SenMarkey, @SenSanders, @SenBlumenthal, @SenAmyKlobuchar, & @SenatorLujan are fighting to revive the FTC's power to make sure bad actors pay consumers back.

Happy World Quantum Day! Thank you @SenateCommerce @SenTedCruz @SenatorCantwell @SenToddYoung for marking up the National Quantum Initiative Reauthorization Act today! Great to see continued progress on legislation first enacted under @POTUS’s leadership in 2018.
