Congress already passed four emergency appropriations bills. Before passing any additional legislation, Congress needs to: ▶️Be deliberate. ▶️Study and learn from action already taken. ▶️Then decide what further action is needed. — PolitiTweet.org

We were not elected to sit at home. If that is what Dems want to do, it is time for them to step aside and allow someone to take their place. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to @RiponSociety for inviting me to join their virtual meeting this week. I appreciate the opportunity to respond to members' concerns as we discussed Congress and its response to #COVID19 — PolitiTweet.org

Allowing multiple Members to vote by proxy is not representative government. I will not give away the vote of the people of the 26th district of Texas to someone they did not elect. Governing is difficult, but we need to get back to work. https://t.co/ZXjdJx2nGk — PolitiTweet.org

Did you catch this morning’s show? — PolitiTweet.org

The House of Representatives is committing legislative malpractice by pushing 1800+ page bill without fully examining recent response efforts. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

The House of Representatives DID NOT resort to proxy voting during the Civil War or the 1918 Spanish Flu. Further, the Senate has been back to work without changing the rules of the Senate. So why does Nancy Pelosi think that there needs to be a new standard in the House? — PolitiTweet.org

Looking forward to joining the show. — PolitiTweet.org

📺 #TuneIn tonight to @CuomoPrimeTime I will be joining the show to discuss both the @HouseCommerce Health Subcommittee and @RulesReps hearings from today. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

Hopefully I will find that answer in this 1800+ page bill before tomorrow's vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Looking for how the #HEROESAct helps our heroes by: ▶️Suppressing info for families about lower cost health insurance options. ▶️Federalizing our voting system w/o adequate security protections. ▶️Providing taxpayer money to illegal immigrants. ▶️Not holding China accountable. https://t.co/04zmC3RLP4 — PolitiTweet.org

Be sure to #TuneIn tonight. — PolitiTweet.org

Instead of tackling any of the issues suggested in the letters I wrote to @RepAnnaEshoo this week, @HouseCommerce is examining a week-old whistleblower complaint before a proper investigation. https://t.co/DZmXZotoZ2 — PolitiTweet.org

Some health care providers are working around the clock to care for #covid19 patients, but without non-covid-19 revenue streams, many are on the verge of shutting their doors forever. This investment is critical in the financial health of our health care system — PolitiTweet.org

Since JANUARY, I have been sounding the alarm about #COVID19 In February, during another health subcommittee hearing, my request for a COVID-19 centered hearing was dismissed. To say that waiting FIVE months to do our job is a disappointment would be an understatement. https://t.co/hcHZUAlaVB — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

. @HouseCommerce Subcmtee on Health is the premier health subcmtee in Congress. So why have we waited until TODAY to have the first official #COVID19 hearing? https://t.co/TUDUE5ALtj — PolitiTweet.org

Nancy Pelosi refusing to call us back to Washington is a missed opportunity to draft legislation that works for ALL Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

This pandemic is about the public health of our nation not a political win. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

#NotAllHeroesWearCapes and we need to ensure that the funds sent to @HHSgov for our health care heroes are reaching them. — PolitiTweet.org

The economy must re-open responsibly. There will be a penalty if the government continues to spend without a long-term plan. https://t.co/neRQ1cCiAP — PolitiTweet.org

This is good news. Thank you for sharing @ScottGottliebMD — PolitiTweet.org

Should America really trust a plan by someone who allowed the two worst economies of the last two decades to happen? https://t.co/mamIXAv4mK — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

States are starting to re-open. It's our job as members of @HouseCommerce to hear from experts about best practices for implementing comprehensive testing policies. Access to both tests and the supplies needed to administer them will help limit the possibility of a second wave. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

📺 #TuneIn shortly to @MariaBartiromo on @FoxBusiness Looking forward to taking with @dagenmcdowell — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

With the release of an 1,815-page messaging bill, it is clear that House Democrats are simply using this pandemic to push their own partisan agenda. Americans need solutions not a partisan wish list that will not become law. https://t.co/XjEfu022tW https://t.co/v7fCDxi45y — PolitiTweet.org

On February 5, @realDonaldTrump laid out a plan for a prosperous nation with a robust economy that benefited all sectors of society. Nancy Pelosi literally tore that plan to shreds. But remember she was Speaker during the worst economies of the last two decades. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

With States working to re-open testing must be reliable, fast, and available. Happy to see @WhiteHouse @realDonaldTrump make testing a priority. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

America survived the Civil War and the 1918 Spanish Flu. During those times, Congress was able to preserve its rules and not resort to proxy voting. — PolitiTweet.org
