A rewrite of #FASTAct will include calls for transp #privatization, #devolution
& attacks on public participation process & environment. /4

[Rep Donna F Edwards @repdonnaedwards]

Any new $ should be distributed through the structure of the #FASTAct to preserve funding for #transit & #TransportationAlternatives. 3/

[Rep Donna F Edwards @repdonnaedwards]

This allows those funds to be invested in infrastructure & start creating family-wage jobs today, w/o additional action by Congress. 2/

[Rep Donna F Edwards @repdonnaedwards]

Dems added lang in #FastAct allowing 4 auto increased investments in surface transp infrastructure if Congress adds additional $ in #HTF 1/

We can never consider cuts 2 #Medicare or #Social Security. No ifs, ands, buts,
or “willing to considers.” Hey @HouseGOP, #HandsOffMedicare

[Rep Donna F Edwards @repdonnaedwards]

I fundamentally believe Social Security & #Medicare R not just #programs, they're #values. We pay into them & we must get our return. 2/

[Rep Donna F Edwards @repdonnaedwards]

For 50+yrs ago, #Medicare has protected health & well-being of American families, saving lives, & improving nation's economic security. 1/

70+ #GOP voted against referring #impeachment to Committee, instead wanting vote on impeaching #IRSCommissioner. Cooler heads prevailed. /7

[Rep Donna F Edwards @repdonnaedwards]

Abandoning #dueprocess would mean impeachment is a #tool of political convenience – not a #constitutional check of last resort. /6

[Rep Donna F Edwards @repdonnaedwards]

Rushing impeachment resolution to Floor abandons #RegularOrder, deprives the Commissioner of #DueProcess & sets a dangerous precedent. 5/
