U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth , who lost both legs in a helicopter crash in Iraq, pushed for legislation to require airlines to report mishandled wheelchairs. She said airlines lost two of her wheelchairs and lost parts for other chairs.
Duckworth said she was inspired to write the requirement after airlines broke two of her wheelchairs and lost numerous parts for other wheelchairs. The report said that the 12 largest airlines handled more than 32,000 wheelchairs and scooters in the 27-day period and lost or damaged 701 of them — or more than 2%.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren slams big agriculture, unveils plan for breaking up 'anti-competitive mergers'Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts on Wednesday lashed out at big agriculture and called for a break up of some recent industry mergers, charging 'consolidation is choking family farms.'

Go away
