SUMMARY: Lawmakers from both parties are preparing for an aggressive congressional investigation into a deadly collision between a military helicopter and a commercial passenger plane near Washington, D.C. While respecting the National Transportation Safety Board’s (NTSB) investigation, Congress plans to examine factors like pilot training, flight traffic at National Airport, and FAA staffing issues. Some lawmakers, including Rep. Troy Nehls, suggest that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies could be scrutinized, but others, including Rep. Tim Burchett, caution against premature blame. Additionally, Senators like Tim Kaine are advocating for air traffic redistribution to reduce congestion at National Airport.

Gov. Greg Abbott will deliver his biennial State of the State address on Sunday evening, laying out his list of legislative priorities for the year.

The speech will be broadcast live at 5 p.m. on Nexstar television stations and their websites across Texas. The program is expected to go for about an hour with the governor’s speech followed by a 10-minute pre-recorded response by the Texas Democratic Party. Unlike in previous years, that response will not be given by Democratic lawmakers. Instead, Brigitte Bowen, a spokesperson for the party, said it will be delivered by “working, everyday Texans.”
