Government can be notorious for being slow, but the Trump Administration has proven just how nimble the government can be during a national emergency. @realDonaldTrump has invoked the Defense Production Act over 30 times to deploy life-saving products to Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

#HydroDay is a reminder that the US has only just begun to tap the resources available to our nation. By using all the resources we have in innovative ways, America will have a cleaner, brighter future. — PolitiTweet.org

. @FLOTUS engaged children across the nation in learning about America’s journey to passing the #19thAmendment through her #BuildingtheMovement campaign. Today the artwork was displayed at the White House. — PolitiTweet.org

Children deserve better – they deserve the chance to get an in-person education. For too long we have overlooked the digital divide in America & now it affects more than the ability to complete homework. For North Texans, this problem is real & personal. https://t.co/6EHE586ace — PolitiTweet.org

On Sat. in the “emergency” session, I suggested we consider other pressing matters and introduced a bill to actually help Americans. Democrats weren’t interested putting funds toward developing a vaccine, increasing testing, or strengthening the strategic national stockpile. — PolitiTweet.org

This House continues to waste its time on partisan bills that will be dead on arrival in the Senate instead of delivering results for Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

My legislation would provide $29 billion for developing additional medical countermeasures and vaccines, including: ▶️$2 billion for the Strategic National Stockpile. ▶️$20 billion for the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority. — PolitiTweet.org

I have put forward legislation in line with @SenateGOP proposal to bolster our response efforts. In a time of crisis, we should come together to provide our country with the resources it needs to fight this invisible enemy. Alas, @HouseDemocrats don't seem up to the task. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

Where was this sense of urgency from @HouseDemocrats at the start of this pandemic? We could be helping the Americans by supporting our nation's pandemic response. Yet, we are here to vote on an issue that Dems have completely blown out of proportion. https://t.co/MAI5ojzFyx — PolitiTweet.org

Delivering for America Act is a rushed, unnecessary piece of legislation that will not address the core problems of the United States Postal Service. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

The postal service issues did not just surface this week, they have been a long time coming. The postal service is also not going to crumble or go bankrupt tomorrow. We could have been working together to address these issues long before you dubbed it a crisis overnight. https://t.co/ekbFk4d8V3 — PolitiTweet.org

Iran is the No.1 state sponsor of terrorism. I joined @JohnCornyn @RepLizCheney @SteveScalise & other members of Congress in recommending that @realDonaldTrump continued a maximum pressure campaign. My hope is our allies will join us to guard against the threat of a nuclear Iran. — PolitiTweet.org

Distance learning is good, homeschooling is good, but not every student will succeed in those environments. Families need to have the option to send their child safely to school since a child only gets to experience the first grade once. https://t.co/aoFDoD6UQM — PolitiTweet.org

As fall approaches, it is important to stay vigilant about the health of yourself & your family. Routine medical care, like immunizations, have decreased recently. @washingtonpost reports on the importance of getting your flu shot this year: https://t.co/kM60TOMZKL — PolitiTweet.org

PMG DeJoy said changes to current USPS practices will be delayed until after the election. Yet HR 8015 seeks to delay USPS reform until well after that time. Why do Dems want to put off USPS becoming more efficient and financially viable? https://t.co/rhrndsLCEV — PolitiTweet.org

For the last several years, the US has seen spikes in the amount of AFM cases in children every other year – meaning there will likely be a spike in fall 2020. I have called for research funding so we can learn more about this devastating disease and raise awareness. — PolitiTweet.org

In June, the Subcmte on the Coronavirus Crisis asked Democrat governors about their #COVID-19 protocols & the high nursing home death rates in their states. So far, no answer. Meanwhile, the Trump Admin is ensuring that nursing homes have funds to care for the vulnerable. — PolitiTweet.org

USPS fundamentals have been bad for a while, but they have still been able to deliver billions of pieces of mail every year & will be able to do so in the coming months. USPS needs real reform, not the bailout that Democrats are proposing. — PolitiTweet.org
