Today’s Supreme Court decision is a victory for the plain language of the Constitution. Article II vests all executive authority in the President, and Congress cannot constitutionally prohibit the President from dismissing executive branch employees. I have long predicted that the Court would overrule Humphrey’s Executor—which was wrongly decided on the day it was issued—and that’s exactly what a 6-3 majority just did.

“I don’t know why anybody would be opposed to this. It’s a readily available technology...it’s been an NTSB recommendation for almost 20 years to have ADS-B In.”🔥 @ALPAPresident to Sen. @JerryMoran at yesterday's hearing, when asked why this life-saving tech mandate has stalled.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you to @SenTedCruz for once again calling for action to implement ADS-B In on all aircraft in all airspace. It’s been over 140 days since we adopted our recommendations; ADS-B In was the heart of those recommendations. Had ADS-B In been installed and operational on the PSA plane, the midair collision that occurred on Jan. 29, 2025, would’ve been prevented. It’s time for action; no more delays! ntsb.gov/investigations/Acci…

they are reminders that vulnerabilities still exist throughout our aviation system. Flight 5342 cannot become just another tragedy we remember while waiting for the next warning sign. The recommendations are known. The solutions exist. The time to act is now.

Today, families of Flight 5342 attended the Senate hearing on improving safety across the National Airspace System. In recent months, we’ve seen serious incidents and close calls at Boston Logan, Newark, LaGuardia, and beyond. These are not isolated events-

NEW: "Good enough is no longer good enough." @ALPAPilots President Jason Ambrosi just told a Senate panel that two fatal airline crashes in the last 16 months demand "urgent safety action," blasting "special interests" for stalling reforms after the DCA midair collision.

🚨 @SMU @SMUMustangs continues to support the Protect College Sports Act: "In the long run, a more level playing field across college athletics will benefit higher education. The product will be better, games will be closer, alumni and fans will have more reasons to cheer and engage, and the financial model will be more sustainable. More importantly, more student-athletes across all sports will compete and earn degrees. We should learn the right lessons from the experiences of professional sports. Regulatory structure affects parity and product quality. Incumbents in powerful positions will act in their own interests to protect their relative advantages. College sports are both special and different — and worth protecting." Read SMU's full op-ed below ↓ dallasnews.com/opinion/comme…
