Congress worked together on 3 bipartisan #COVID19 relief bills. But further help is being withheld from the American people because Democrats only want to use a relief package to defund police, destroy livelihoods and dismantle our voting system. — PolitiTweet.org

Many pregnancy-related deaths are preventable. @HouseCommerce continues to offer bipartisan bills to support maternal health. My bill, the Helping MOMS Act, just passed the House. It would allow states to extend Medicaid postpartum coverage for 1 year rather than just 60 days. — PolitiTweet.org

.@RulesReps opposed the rules of debate for the “Heroes 2.0” bill. It is a Democratic wishlist forced on @HouseGOP hours before floor consideration. This partisanship only delays help for Americans. Also, the lack of the Hyde Amendment would send non-profit funds to @PPFA — PolitiTweet.org

Earlier this year, I requested a hearing on the racial disparities in COVID-19, which was held in June. I’m glad that @NIH awarded @UTHealth with funds to identify testing deserts in Texas, leading to increased testing for underserved populations. https://t.co/NCflBWs7rs — PolitiTweet.org

The @China_TaskForce found that 90% of Americans see the PRC ‘s growing influence as a threat. One area we must not let China dominate is the technology industry. This week, the House passed legislation to increase US leadership in 3D printing, AI & more. https://t.co/9MdEK6vbth — PolitiTweet.org
