Once again American Special Operations Forces have succeeded in limiting the spread of terrorism with the death of Baghdadi. Thank you to the members of our military who risked their lives to accomplish this mission. — PolitiTweet.org

This week, I spoke with flotus about the unique member driven process of writing the SUPPORT Act. This process started with a bipartisan @housecommerce members’ day, where more than 50 members brought forward the… https://t.co/rVZBMBj7bx — PolitiTweet.org

In my weekly address I talk about the 1-year anniversary of the SUPPORT Act being signed into law and how Congress needs to continue our efforts to move #ForwardwithSUPPORT. https://t.co/aUYELMNsAU — PolitiTweet.org

This #WorldPolioDay, we recognize the efforts to #endpolio around the world. Since 1998, @Rotary, @ShotatLife & global partners have reduced polio cases by 99.9% by working with governments, health workers, & donors. #VaccinesSaveLives — PolitiTweet.org

Today, marks the anniversary of @realDonaldTrump signing the SUPPORT Act into law. This law is an example of how @HouseCommerce came together and put forward patient-centered bipartisan legislation for the good of Americans. #ForwardwithSUPPORT https://t.co/oLZ5lPixJO — PolitiTweet.org

Committee records are property of the House. According to House Rule XI, clause 2(e), they are to be made accessible to ALL members of the House. As a member of @RulesReps it is critical that I view all information before voting for floor consideration. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you @Flotus for hosting today’s #BeBest round table. #ForwardwithSUPPORT is a step in the right direction to ending this epidemic. Now Congress needs to ensure this law is being implemented and working. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, the House passed The Rodchenkov Anti-Doping Act this will ensure that athletes rights are respected, whistleblowers are protected, and criminals are brought to justice. As we heard at @HelsinkiComm hearing from @KatieU11 compelling testimony. https://t.co/0XbEuerkL2 — PolitiTweet.org

One of the greatest beneficiaries of the crisis on our southern border is the cartels charging up to $10k to smuggle people illegally into our country. The House took the steps to end these dangerous activities by passing my amendment to H.R. 2513. https://t.co/pN15YGs5cK https://t.co/0Kh223x5kB — PolitiTweet.org

Our thoughts are with our neighbors in Dallas. Thanks to law enforcement and first responders whose prompt actions likely prevent lost of life during the storm. — PolitiTweet.org

Did you know about the Congressional App Challenge? Through the @CongressionalAC students are able to design and present an original app idea. Be sure to submit your idea soon since the challenge ends Nov. 1st. #STEM https://t.co/qNYgaTygW7 — PolitiTweet.org

Together, Congress put forward legislation to end the opioid epidemic. Now Congress needs to ensure that oversight and implementation happen with this law. @HouseCommerce #ForwardwithSUPPORT https://t.co/G9xfqOEvpQ — PolitiTweet.org

Many in Congress are complaining about @realDonaldTrump decision to remove military forces from Syria. Congress needs to pass an appropriations bill for the Department of Defense and authorize the use of military force in the country of Syria. https://t.co/HEF4pyCXpt — PolitiTweet.org

As a young doctor in the 80s, I remember that we were looking to Europe for new innovative drugs, but now America has become the leader in finding new cures. We should not put a limit on what American scientists and doctors can discover. — PolitiTweet.org

As I stated this morning, I have a feeling of a lost opportunity to work in a #bipartisan manner and put forward legislation to make a real difference in the lives of the constituents in all of our districts. It is clear that H.R. 3 is not the solution. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

H.R. 835 ensures that athletes like @KatieU11 who compete honestly do not have victory seized from them by an opponent who has used performance-enhancing drugs as part of a doping scheme. https://t.co/W3zoPQ8yKW — PolitiTweet.org

To be clear: Yes, it was a lost opportunity for democrats to forgo a @HouseCommerce health subcmtee markup where they could have learned the purpose of rebates and how they work. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

From multiple hearings on #insulin pricing and hearing emotional testimony from diabetic patients, it is disappointing that democrat members of @HouseCommerce did not see the value of this amendment. — PolitiTweet.org

When it comes to finding a solution to lower drug costs, there is a sense of a lost opportunity to produce effective change. @HouseCommerce https://t.co/9U4lnZhfah — PolitiTweet.org
