I spoke at a Committee on Appropriations Member Day hearing to advocate for the Abandoned Mine Land Economic Revitalization Program. This program has brought new hope to a lot of communities. https://t.co/nhV8CvnDK1 — PolitiTweet.org

Rather than deflect blame, President Biden should consider his own culpability for high energy prices thanks to his relentless pursuit of policies that discourage domestic energy production, driving gas prices up to levels not seen since Mr. Biden was Vice President. — PolitiTweet.org

Morgan Griffith @RepMGriffith

When President Biden points to Vladimir Putin, or Big Oil, or other scapegoats as the culprit behind high gas prices, I am reminded of the words of the Wizard of Oz: “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.” https://t.co/wD7zRqlMUk — PolitiTweet.org

I cosponsored the Medical Marijuana Research Act to expand opportunities for scientists to get the info we need about marijuana’s potential benefits and harms. I am glad the House passed our bill today, and I hope this commonsense change to the law will continue to advance. https://t.co/tiRP2JvZ1J — PolitiTweet.org

The Biden budget spends more money on plenty of misplaced priorities. One of the few items it cuts is Immigration and Customs Enforcement by $150 million next year. If enacted, this budget would make the border crisis worse. — PolitiTweet.org

Releasing more oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve will have a minimal, short-term impact on gas prices and decrease the stockpile for future emergencies.   Instead of gimmicks, now is the time to produce more energy here in America. https://t.co/yMhcCNsCPr — PolitiTweet.org

Morgan Griffith @RepMGriffith

Energy costs are soaring, yet the Biden Administration’s budget contains $45 billion in new taxes on domestic energy production. When Americans need relief from high energy costs, President Biden would have us pay more at the pump, to transport goods, and in heating bills. — PolitiTweet.org

The southern border is already out of control. Ending Title 42 would make the crisis worse. I’ve joined my @freedomcaucus colleagues in calling on Democrats to help prevent this avoidable catastrophe. https://t.co/xXIm7EYooS — PolitiTweet.org

Presidential budgets don’t become law, but President Biden said they show “what we value.” What are the values of his budget? 📈Taxes – $58 trillion of them 📈Spending – the highest sustained amount in US history 📈Debt – $45 trillion total by 2032 (not accounting for inflation) — PolitiTweet.org

It’s ridiculous that long after most Americans have returned to work, Members of Congress don’t even need to show up to vote. Speaker Pelosi nevertheless just extended proxy voting to May 14. This decision sacrifices the Constitution to keep a tight grip on power. — PolitiTweet.org

Today is National Vietnam War Veterans Memorial Day. We honor the nine million Americans who served in the Vietnam era, including the 58,000 warfighters who paid the ultimate price. — PolitiTweet.org

For senior citizens, paying taxes on Social Security benefits are an unwelcome burden atop fixed incomes. I’ve cosponsored a bill that would get rid of these taxes, the Senior Citizens Tax Elimination Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Morgan Griffith @RepMGriffith

Especially in tough economic times, tax policy should seek to let hard-working Americans keep more of their money. That’s why I cosponsored legislation to make the 2017 tax cuts permanent. — PolitiTweet.org

As this year’s tax filing deadline approaches, the IRS still has a backlog of millions of unprocessed returns from previous years. I’ve cosponsored the IRS PRIORITIES Act, which would prohibit the agency from hiring more enforcement personnel until it processes these returns. — PolitiTweet.org

Today is National Agriculture Day. Please join me in thanking the farmers of Virginia’s Ninth District for all they do to grow and produce the agricultural products we rely on every day. https://t.co/rWDNlCPJCy — PolitiTweet.org

The inflation resulting from President Biden’s policies continues to take a toll on family and business budgets. — PolitiTweet.org

Labor Department data found that wholesale prices in February had risen 10% over the previous year, the highest annual spike on record. Keep in mind that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began with only four days left in the month. — PolitiTweet.org

Congress heard from Ukrainian President Zelenskyy this week asking for help protecting his country’s borders. I support helping Ukraine, but we should protect our own borders, too. https://t.co/KUSAUvg4oh — PolitiTweet.org

President Biden has slashed enforcement of our immigration laws. From fiscal year 2020 to 2021, deportations of illegal immigrants dropped from 185,884 to 59,011. Administrative arrests in FY 2021 dropped to 74,082, roughly 50% of the average from 2017 to 2019. — PolitiTweet.org

New numbers indicate that 105,732 people in the United States died of drug overdoses in the twelve-month period ending in October 2021, a record total for one year. Fentanyl-related substances drove this surge. https://t.co/1ibSmOQUfE — PolitiTweet.org

If record gas prices and Russian aggression still haven’t convinced them to support domestic energy production, what will? — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats again just blocked the American Energy Independence from Russia Act on the House floor. I’m a cosponsor of this bill to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, lift liquid natural gas export restrictions, and restart oil and gas leasing on federal land. — PolitiTweet.org

The death of Covington Police Officer Caleb Ogilvie in the line of duty is a great tragedy for the people of Covington and a reminder of the dangers law enforcement officers can face every day. My thoughts are with his family, colleagues, and community. — PolitiTweet.org
