Senator Cynthia Lummis, representing Wyoming in the U.S. Senate, posted a series of tweets on July 15 and 16, 2025, addressing topics ranging from airport funding to criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.
On July 15, Senator Lummis highlighted her collaboration with FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford: “I’m working w/ FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford to ensure Wyoming airports meet the highest safety & performance standards. I joined my colleagues across the aisle to urge the FAA to expedite disbursement of key funds to help airports deliver on projects & better serve travelers https://t.co/socxybyMHx”. The senator’s efforts come amid ongoing discussions in Congress regarding infrastructure investment and federal support for state transportation systems.
Later that day, she commented on an unspecified news headline by stating: “Amazingly, this is not an @TheOnion or @TheBabylonBee headline. These people need to go touch some grass. https://t.co/eRGjQJtL9v” (July 15). The reference compares the situation to satirical publications known for their humorous takes on current events.
On July 16, Senator Lummis issued a brief statement calling for leadership change at the Federal Reserve: “Chair Powell must resign.”
Senator Lummis has been active in advocating for Wyoming’s infrastructure needs and has frequently expressed her views on national financial policy matters. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regularly provides grants and funding opportunities for airport improvement projects across states; such initiatives are often subject to legislative oversight and bipartisan appeals for timely distribution.
Jerome Powell has served as Chair of the Federal Reserve since February 2018, guiding U.S. monetary policy through periods of economic uncertainty and inflation concerns.
