What the EPA laid out this morning is what I have been demanding for over three years...
...an action plan to address PFOA/PFOS in drinking water, a process to establish a minimum contamination level, guidance for cleanup and remediation, and new research and monitoring so that we can better understand the risks to public health.
Though optimistic, I have watched this Administration and the one before it be all talk and no execution since I convened all of the federal agencies and local municipalities in September 2016 advocating for help for Warminster, Warrington, and Horsham.
I intend to hold the EPA accountable for the promises they made today in righting this wrong for communities in Pennsylvania and across the nation.

Every time we think we’ve reached the bottom with this Administration, they sink a little lower. washingtonpost.com/national/healt…
Trump’s budget pays for his ludicrous tax giveaway by cutting $1.5 trillion from Medicaid.
After repeatedly promising to protect Medicare during his campaign, Trump’s budget will reduce spending by $845 billion over the next ten years.

Around the country, seventy-one percent of parents of children under age 18 say it is a problem to find quality, affordable child care in their area.
In an effort to help ease the burden and raise awareness for legislation aimed at tackling the nation’s child care crisis, I’m joining with working mothers to call for swift passage of the Child Care for Working Families Act.
I also announced my introduction of the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit Enhancement Act.

Today, I’ve joined with @SenateDems to support #NetNeutrality because we stand with the 86% of Americans, 82% of independents, and 85% of Republicans who want a free and open internet. #SaveTheNet
Last year’s effort to restore net neutrality had bipartisan support in the Senate, and I hope my colleagues will continue working to pass legislation permanently enshrining strong net neutrality protections in our code of law. #SaveTheNet
With more of our lives happening online—from education to entertainment, commerce to health services—we need to make sure that all Americans have access to a free and open internet. #SaveTheNet

Why protest a few bottles of water? Former Mayor Vicki Buck says it best "The application from Cloud Ocean was treated as a variation to an existing resource consent , when in my view it should definitely have been treated as a completely new consent.
The old ( unused ) consent related to Kaputone Wool scouring, was apparently specifically for wool scouring, (and interestingly according to people who worked there was never used to the full). Nor was it a fully consumptive consent in that the water was used for dilution
rather than taken and used 24/7 for 365 days a year. Most importantly it was from the very shallow aquifer (Aquifer 1) at about 30metres which is not an aquifer that interferes with our drinking water aquifer in any way.

THREAD: EPA's Nationwide PFAS Action Plan announcement: I'll be live-tweeting this announcement, and based on review of what has been released by @epa, this has all the makings of being a hot mess, something that many of us have feared...and expected. #pfas #pfos #pfoa
Reviewing the early announcements, there will be no MCL's set today, just "starting the process." This is the EXACT SAME LANGUAGE that was used to my face from one of the higher-ups in @EPA when I met with former Administrator Pruitt in May of 2018. Waste of the last 9 months.
At the 2018 PFAS National Leadership Summit in May, @EPA staff stated that the MCL process would take year to complete, possibly as long as a decade.

Over the last couple of years we've heard continuously from Brexiteers that one individual is the UK's leading trade expert - he has advised Ministers and happens to back no-deal Brexit. I think there should be more competition (niche thread) 1/
Many in the UK trade policy community think of Alan Winters as the lead expert - he's written extensively, advised pretty much everyone, and worked for Gov departments, World Bank etc.... 2/ sussex.ac.uk/profiles/97501
Unbelievable I know but Alan Winters is not on twitter. He also doesn't write extensively on Brexit. But he did write a rather stinging rebuke to Peter Lilley over the latter's claim about a WTO terms Brexit 3/ politics.co.uk/comment-analys…

Heads up: I will be live-tweeting @EPAScottPruitt's appearance at this hearing by @EPWGOP & @EPWDem, starting now: epw.senate.gov/public/index.c…
's written Senate testimony begins w/ the same 3 wooden talking points he has used in public appearances starting w/ his Senate confirmation hearing >1 year ago--the last time he appeared in EPW Committee, & in innumerable speeches since. epw.senate.gov/public/_cache/…
's 3 primary goals: (1) refocus EPA on "core mission"; (2) restore power to state through "cooperative federalism"; & (3) improved process & adherence to Rule of Law.

In his 1st year, he flouted all of these principles. Let's examine.
