Hey #TX21! Individuals and organizations are asked to donate essential items (like nonperishables) to combat food insecurity and new mobile phones to enable Veterans to access @DeptVetAffairs telehealth services. — PolitiTweet.org

The speaker just completely disregarded the constitution. @HouseDemocrats just passed a bill for proxy voting. You can’t make this up — they don’t want to work. They don’t want to work when Americans are working on the front lines and others have lost everything. Unbelievable. — PolitiTweet.org

WATCH: 36.5 million Americans are unemployed and @HouseDemocrats don't want to work. @SpeakerPelosi is going to put a bill on the floor today to allow proxy voting. Next, she'll put up a partisan $3 trill bill that has zero chance of becoming law. Wasting America's time. https://t.co/HDxgyM1HIr — PolitiTweet.org

Let's work together to protect each other while we live. Let's do the one thing that will genuinely make a difference. Let America Open. https://t.co/slmsrBTh2E — PolitiTweet.org

The only way to ensure the health and well-being of American society is to let people get on with their lives—while government gets out of the way and focuses narrowly on protecting the elderly and vulnerable. People are self-interested beings; we want to survive. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Chip Roy Press Office @RepChipRoy

Whatever Congress decides to do, it will be mostly for not unless we give Americans a path towards reopening (and one that starts soon). The pursuit of happiness is a very real thing. We can't keep changing the goal posts and hiding in fear. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Chip Roy Press Office @RepChipRoy

I have a bipartisan bill that would pass overwhelmingly if the speaker put it on the floor tomorrow. How do I know that? The speaker has included every piece of my bill in her $3 trillion partisan monstrosity. Enough politics. Let's work together. https://t.co/Ps1rrnCcja — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Chip Roy Press Office @RepChipRoy

First, a bill to allow proxy voting and (AFTER THAT) ... a $3 trillion package stuffed with progressive policies (limitless illegal work, payments to illegal immigrants, permanent federalization of elections) that will assuredly fail. She's wasting everyone's time. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Chip Roy Press Office @RepChipRoy

As a result of those flaws and no leadership on economic restart, we learned this week that a staggering 36.5 million Americans have filed for unemployment in the past two months. More businesses are closing. More families can't put food on the table. The speaker's response? — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Chip Roy Press Office @RepChipRoy

That evening, again with strong reservations, I voted yes on the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act. I tried to offer an amendment to the bill to fix the flaws I wrote to Treasury / in WSJ about, but @HouseDemocrats blocked it. https://t.co/Mi8JNvkUsX — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Chip Roy Press Office @RepChipRoy

On April 23, in an effort to bring more attention to the fact that government action was killing America's restaurant industry, I wrote a joint op-ed in @WSJ w/ the president and CEO of the Texas Restaurant Association. https://t.co/iThSvfoisd — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Chip Roy Press Office @RepChipRoy

Around the same time, it became clear that the mechanism -- PPP loan program -- we used in CARES to provide relief for small businesses was flawed. I wrote to @stevenmnuchin1 on April 16 requesting some Treasury guidance fixing those problems. None came. https://t.co/O1NWzRt5qP — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Chip Roy Press Office @RepChipRoy

On April 4, I wrote in @FoxNews about the very real second and third order impacts of tens of million Americans unemployed. Some of these things, unfortunately, we are starting to see play out. All the while, we still had no plan to reopen society. https://t.co/tVmvlxSr5I — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Chip Roy Press Office @RepChipRoy

None of that seemed to bug Congress, though. @SpeakerPelosi kept us home for months. There were problems in the CARES Act that needed addressing, there were other pressing issues facing our nation, but we stayed home, watching our communities crumble from our living rooms. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Chip Roy Press Office @RepChipRoy

In the coming weeks, we'd start watching our local institutions shut down, many for good. Our neighbors were being laid off. Businesses people spent a decade or more of their lives building were gone for good bc of A) government action and B) no clear end date in sight from govt. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Chip Roy Press Office @RepChipRoy

I said I would have supported it w/ strong reservations about its complexity, scope, and a serious concern that an infusion of capital to workers and businesses is only going to be effective if we have a path back to economic function. We did not. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Chip Roy Press Office @RepChipRoy

On March 27, The senate sent over a $2 trillion #CARESAct that included a provision that paid people more to work than not to work. We didn’t get a chance to amend it, let alone vote on it. Bc government has closed down businesses, we had an obligation to help them bridge the gap — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Chip Roy Press Office @RepChipRoy

On March 20, I wrote in @NRO about why it was imperative for our leadership to give Americans a very clear mission — and a quick date certain by which to carry it out — to get the health-care situation under control and get our economy back to normal. https://t.co/T6AHhkZICT — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Chip Roy Press Office @RepChipRoy

We know @SpeakerPelosi’s $3 trillion #HEROESAct won’t pass. Why is she wasting time w/ political games while Americans are hurting? I have a bipartisan bill to provide essential capital to millions of small businesses. Enough politics. Let’s work together to deliver for America. https://t.co/txpxN7zxfH — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Chip Roy Press Office @RepChipRoy

Hey @RepKendraHorn! @RepDeanPhillips and I have a bipartisan bill to make the PPP loan program more flexible to work for small businesses who need it! No partisan gamesmanship, just real help. Join us! https://t.co/Ps1rrnCcja — PolitiTweet.org

LATEST OP-ED: We've watched our friends and neighbors lose everything. We've watched our communities crumble outside our living room windows while government bureaucrats tell us, "listen to us, we know best." Enough. Let America Open. https://t.co/slmsrBTh2E — PolitiTweet.org
