Every state. Billions of dollars. Thousands of jobs. That's the impact of the Jones Act. Take a look at what's at stake 👇 #wa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">americanmaritimepartnership.com/u-s-maritime-i… But here’s the reality: These jobs don’t exist without the Jones Act. End the waiver. @realDonaldTrump

We completely agree, @SecDuffy, and that's exactly why the Jones Act waiver must end. The waiver undermines our merchant mariners; it must end now.

Waiving the Jones Act Weakens American Security "We should uphold the Jones Act and the permanent, dedicated fleet that serves U.S. ports year-round as opposed to foreign operators that only 'barge in' when they can extract a premium during a crisis." dcjournal.com/waiving-the-jo…

"While this nonsensical waiver has had no perceptible impact related to the stated reason it was issued, the longest waiver in the history of a 106-year-old law that has served our nation well will have a chilling effect on the private sector initiatives we should be encouraging rather than attacking." 👏

On National Maritime Day, we honor the merchant marines who keep our economy moving and support our national security. Long Island is proud to be home to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point and I won’t stop fighting to support its midshipmen and mission.
Congresswoman Laura Gillen@RepLauraGillen

Yesterday, I joined a group of bipartisan colleagues and Administration officials at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in King’s Point on Long Island to review the Campus Modernization Plan and assess urgent infrastructure needs. I’ll keep working in Congress to secure the investments needed to ensure Midshipmen have safe, modern facilities for future generations of mariners.
