NOAA's Hurricane Hunters collect vital data from inside dangerous storms, but much of the fleet is over 50 years old.
That’s why the bipart Hurricane Hunter Aircraft Recapitalization Act will modernize the aging fleet and codify the mission in federal law.

The bill was introduced Wednesday, the same day Arthur became the season's first tropical storm in the Atlantic basin.

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.

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.
