With #MemorialDay coming up, let’s remember not only those who made the ultimate sacrifice, but the Gold Star families who have been subjected to the unfair Widow’s Tax. We need to protect our military families by eliminating that tax – it’s the right thing to do. #AxeWidowsTax twitter.com/SenDougJones/s…

NOW: Four senior Senate Democrats — @SenatorCarper, @SenWhitehouse, @SenGaryPeters and @SenatorTomUdall — demand to know why EPA won't seek to recover $123k in excessive travel costs from Scott Pruitt.

E&C Chairman @FrankPallone and I want to know why. Read our letter to @EPAAWheeler seeking more information on where @EPA’s getting its justifications for this dangerous rollback:

.@EPAAWheeler: The #FuelEconomy rollback means “there will be 1,000 lives saved a year”
@EPA career staff, 6 months earlier: It will ⬆️ increase ⬆️ fatalities.
It’s one of many contradictions throughout Mr. Wheeler’s defense of this dangerous rollback.

Last year alone, there were 102 million robocalls placed in Delaware…which is 102 million too many! Today, the Senate passed my bipartisan bill with @SenMarkey and @SenJohnThune to stop these irritating, illegal #robocalls that Americans are forced to deal with every single day. pic.twitter.com/Ith7M7sBRF

I am deeply concerned about @EPAAWheeler’s misleading statements related to @EPA’s emissions standards rollback. That’s why @SenatorCarper and I are demanding information. energycommerce.house.gov/newsroom/press…

I sat down with @TAPSorg to talk about how we in Congress can better help the families of our fallen service members and ensure they receive their rightful benefits.
I'm proud to cosponsor @SenDougJones' #AxeWidowsTax bill so, together, we can do just that. pic.twitter.com/PxOl0EQBX8

Fun fact: This was the first highway law that allowed for highway dollars to be used for public transit, thereby establishing the movement toward intermodal transportation #infrastructure.
It was a 3 year bill for $22 billion, which would be roughly $125 billion today.

Facing the risk of alienating his political base, the president was eager to embrace any excuse that would allow him to avoid taking a principled stand on infrastructure funding.

In the @USNavy, when faced with an especially challenging mission, we’d call for ‘all hands on deck.’ Today, to solve this widespread public health problem, we need a different kind of all hands on deck, but we need one nonetheless. My full statement: epw.senate.gov/public/index.c…

Another approach is passing the #PFAS Action Act of 2019, a law I authored with @SenCapito to designate #PFAS as a hazardous substance eligible for cleanup under the #Superfund law

One approach to addressing this concern lies in the #PFAS Release Disclosure Act authored by @SenCapito, which I cosponsored with @gillibrandny – to better inform the public when those chemicals are released into the environment wvpublic.org/post/capito-am…

So it’s no surprise that many states are taking matters into their own hands and setting their own standards. Neither is it a surprise that many of us have concluded that federal legislation is needed to more urgently and decisively address #PFAS.

Finally, @EPA weakened its draft guidance for cleaning up contaminated #PFAS sites following pressure from the @DeptofDefense.

Second, @EPAAWheeler refused to commit to setting a drinking water standard for #PFAS until public and Congressional outcry forced him to reverse course before he was confirmed.

First, @EPA’s 2019 #PFAS Action Plan largely includes commitments to consider whether to regulate PFAS contamination, steps that Scott Pruitt announced almost a year earlier.
