Traveling with your kids is already stressful enough without having to worry about TSA tossing your baby's formula or breast milk. That's why I'm so proud my bipartisan BABES Act with Rep. Swalwell & Sen. Duckworth was just signed into law!

This law is about making it easier for parents to fly with breastmilk and breastfeeding supplies, ensuring TSA keeps its employees up to speed with its own policies and more.
Huge win for families.
