Mississippi Congressman Steven Palazzo knows this tweet is a lie.
This past week, @CongPalazzo cast 18 votes (10 yeas, 8 nays), vs 11 votes in the week *before* the inquiry began—as his own website shows: palazzo.house.gov/voterecord/?Pa… #MSCong

Additionally: Congress has passed more than 400 bills this year so far. Congressman Palazzo voted for many of them, and also denounced quite a few of them. @CongPalazzo opposed the Violence Against Women Act reauthorization the House passed, for example.

Additionally, @CongPalazzo also voted against the Equality Act, which would include LGBT people in the 1964 Civil Rights Act, giving same protections for race, gender, religion, & nat'l origin. He called it an "invasive threat to our religious liberties."

To be sure, most bills the House passed have not become law. Since Democrats took over the House, GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell vowed to be the "grim reaper" of legislation, blocking about 300 of those bills in the Senate & leaving them to die.
