This morning I led @HouseCommerce on a call with @PhRMA and @IAmBiotech concerning the development of #COVIDー19 vaccines. I appreciated learning more about the collaboration between the govt and private companies to quickly develop a safe and effective vaccine. https://t.co/f4s8MM3RvQ — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

#COVIDー19 is a reminder of what a world without vaccines looks like. Routine vaccinations and flu shots mitigate the prevalence of preventable disease. @RepKimSchrier and I introduced the VACCINES Act before the pandemic. It is especially important now. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

. @HouseCommerce is proactively preparing for a #COVIDー19 vaccine. I appreciate @repgregwalden and @RepGuthrie leadership on the O&I Subcmte to provide recommendations on how the US can produce and distribute a vaccine safely when it is ready. — PolitiTweet.org

#USMCA went into effect at midnight. @realDonaldTrump leadership on this issue means that we now have a trade deal that is stronger on intellectual property and protecting American manufacturing jobs. https://t.co/jAYL8ZH7zz — PolitiTweet.org

It is clear that the Chinese Communist Party is a threat to the USA. I appreciate that the @China_TaskForce - under @RepMcCaul leadership - is examining ways to stand up to Chinese aggression. — PolitiTweet.org

I appreciate that the @FCC is focused on national security in deploying 5G. We must continue efforts to remove bad actors from our networks. — PolitiTweet.org

Securing our nation is one of Congress' primary duties. I agree with @RepLizCheney and @MacTXPress that America’s adversaries must know that the men and women of our Armed Forces are ready to take action at any moment. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

"More than 21 million Americans could not access broadband services before the pandemic began." This fact is why @HouseCommerce is taking action to close the digital divide. I have proposed a bill to this end: https://t.co/G24fRHSwpZ — PolitiTweet.org

As co-chair of the Motorcycle Caucus, I proposed 2 amendments to HR 2, an infrastructure bill. 1. Is to ensure that motorcycles are included in a study on road safety. 2. Will modify language to include motorcyclists in data collected on traffic stops. — PolitiTweet.org

A crisis like #COVID19 has highlighted how physicians and health care workers are under great strain and may struggle with mental illness. Today I asked @APAPsychiatric President Dr. Jeffrey Geller what Congress could do to help: https://t.co/MGqGRrTIiz — PolitiTweet.org

By extending proxy voting until Aug. 18, @SpeakerPelosi continues to allow House Democrats the excuse to not show up and do their job. It is time for Nancy Pelosi to provide a plan to get the House back to work. The Senate has been able to, why can't the House? — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

There is a high percentage of #Covid_19 deaths in nursing homes. @HouseCommerce and @SteveScalise are rightly calling for an investigation into what happened in some states. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

Since the beginning of this pandemic, 45 percent of Americans have reported that their mental health has been negatively impacted by #COVID19 This is a bipartisan issue that Congress can rally around at a time when Americans are struggling. https://t.co/7XMDoAwx4q — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

One of the bills considered at today's @HouseCommerce Health Subcmte hearing is H.R. 3539. I joined @RepDrewFerguson in proposing this legislation to help guide schools in conducting mental health assessments and early intervention for students. — PolitiTweet.org

🚨HAPPENING NOW🚨 @HouseCommerce hearing today is "High Anxiety and Stress: Legislation to Improve Mental Health During a Crisis" I requested this hearing in May since this pandemic makes this an even more critical issue facing Americans. #TuneNOW ⬇️⬇️ https://t.co/KNk6PJQcpY — PolitiTweet.org

It will be through American innovation that we come to the other side of this pandemic. Congress should be putting forward policies that will encourage innovation not deter it. https://t.co/373QPh7Yar — PolitiTweet.org

Disappointing news from SCOTUS today. This Louisiana law was about ensuring a woman has access to emergency care if an abortion goes wrong. Thank you @SteveScalise for your leadership in filing an amicus brief in support of life. — PolitiTweet.org

We could reauthorize community health centers and newborn screening, we could reauthorize the Money Follows the Person program, which allows Medicaid beneficiaries to move out of nursing homes and back into their own homes. — PolitiTweet.org

In the ten years the since the passage of the Affordable Care Act it has proven to be unaffordable. Unfortunately, we are wasting time on a partisan birthday present for the ACA. There are policies we could pass today that would help Americans. https://t.co/NRgas9XLND — PolitiTweet.org
