The right call from @FAANews on O'Hare. Thank you to @SecDuffy and the DOT team for working to keep ORD a strong dual hub for Chicago and global travelers and refusing to reward United’s anti-competitive, anti-consumer behavior.

Federal regulators should continue monitoring operations to avoid the issues that plagued Newark last summer and preserve ORD’s status as the only airport in the country where two global network carriers operate hubs. Competition from the dual hub benefits consumers. (2/2)

With a summer of chaos looming, the FAA made the right call in proposing a cap on daily operations at O'Hare. Using summer 2025 operation levels as a baseline for cuts will help preserve the dual hub and ensure United isn’t rewarded for its reckless scheduling decisions. (1/2)

.@FAANews ADMINISTRATOR STEVE DICKSON WILL FLY BOEING 737 MAX HIMSELF BEFORE IT IS UNGROUNDED. @USDOT EXTRAORDINARY MOVE AND STRONG LEADERSHIP!!! #Safety

Yesterday, we released a report along with @RahmEmanuel, boosting investments already made to modernize #Chicago’s mobility services and recommending how to best integrate new technology into the city's transportation network. bit.ly/2u7C8jl

Thank you @realDonaldTrump for putting safety first for Americans and @USDOT and @FAANews for grounding the planes and requiring inspections.

John McCain is my personal and political hero. He had the best instincts on all issues, but particularly on armed services and immigration. I love John. God bless John McCain!

So sorry to learn of Sergio Marchionne poor health. During our time at @USDOT, I watched his extraordinary leadership transform @FiatChrysler_NA into one of the top car manufacturers in America. Be well Sergio and thank you for making Chrysler a great car and truck company again.

Brett Kavanaugh is a very strong pick for #SCOTUS and America. Great parents, wonderful family, outstanding public servant and outstanding judge. GREAT PICK MR. PRESIDENT!

Our family has known Brett Kavanaugh and his family for years. Wonderful parents, mother is a former outstanding judge. Brett is a very solid judge with strong public service experience. America and #SCOTUS would be well served by his appointment.

As a father of four and grandfather of 15 healthy grandchildren, I am blessed today! I hope other fathers and grandfathers are equally blessed. Happy Father’s Day!

I worked with @ValerieJarrett for 4 ½ years and she’s a class act.

.@louiseslaughter was a trailblazer in Congress who earned the respect of her colleagues on both sides of the aisle. She was also my friend. I can think of nothing more fitting than to name the new train station in Rochester in her honor. Her determination made it a reality.

Gas tax is the pot of gold that built America. Joined @SquawkCNBC with @GovEdRendell to discuss the infrastructure needs in the country right now. cnbc.com/video/2018/01/…
