From Chris in #AZ05 ➡️

"My wife was one of the first round of layoffs as soon as the pandemic became a serious reality. Her boss let her know that she would not deny unemployment when filed. ... Image
"Over 2 months have passed since that filing and my wife has a debt card from the unemployment office but there is nothing on it. No one to call, no way to check ......
"...and while the notification originally was $240 per week (Insanely low) with an addendum that an additional $600 per week was on its way, she's looking for jobs trying to be as non dependent as she can on the state system. ...
"...But 2 months without anything is hurting the ability to pay rent, bills, car payments. ...
"...The $1200 stimulus came immediately and helped immensely but I feel the state should have a workflow in place for future issues so as to not completely overwhelm and shut down the states ability to provide semi competent aid in times of need."

THREAD:
🧵1/9
The radical open-border policies of the Biden-Harris Administration destroy American families. Tonight, I highlighted some of the most egregious offenders.

Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua—dubbed "MS-13 on steroids"—has overtaken Colorado communities.

Juan Carlos Garcia Rodriguez brutally assaulted and murdered 11-year-old Maria Gonzalez in Pasadena, TX.

🧵1/12:
THREAD: Last night, the House passed 3 individual appropriations bills for the first time in a long time.

This brings our total individual appropriations bills passed to 4 for FY24.

These bills account for nearly 3/4 of the total discretionary spending in our budget.
🧵2/12:
I supported all 4 of these bills on the House floor:

1. MilCon and VA (Passed in July)
2. Department of Defense
3. Homeland Security
4. State and Foreign Operations
🧵3/12:
Individual appropriations bills would ensure transparency in the federal government’s spending instead of continuing to spend at irresponsible levels.

A CR would extend those levels set by Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer in the Omnibus rammed through the House last year.

Some wins from the rules package:

✔️Restores the Motion to Vacate rule that can remove a failing House Speaker.

✔️Restores the Holman Rule that holds members of the deep state accountable by stripping their salary.

✔️Ensures that bills coming to the Floor are single-subject.
✔️Requires bill text to be made available at least 72 hours prior to a vote in the House.

✔️Halts proxy voting in the House and remote proceedings in committees.

✔️Eliminates woke, gender-specific language.
✔️Establishes a Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party and the weaponization of the federal government.

Today, I am running for House Speaker.

The American people want us to turn a page. They do not want excuses or performance art, they want action and results.
The promised red wave turned into a loss of the United States Senate, a razor-thin majority in the House of Representatives, and upset losses of premiere political candidates.
My bid to run for Speaker is about changing the paradigm and the status quo. Minority Leader McCarthy does not have the votes needed to become the next Speaker of the House and his speakership should not be a foregone conclusion.

The impeachment of President Trump, one week before he relinquishes power, does what Democrats wrongfully claim President Trump did on 1/6. It pours gas on the smoldering embers, which consists of tens of millions who have serious doubts about the integrity of our elections.
Leftists believe that impeaching the President for a second time will destroy Trump’s remodel of the Republican Party.
This new movement is defined by Trump’s America first policies that gave us a roaring economy, Middle East stability & peace, kept us out of any new wars while rebuilding the military, strengthened the U.S. position in trade agreements, and against our adversaries.

The Capitol attack was shameful & despicable, & all Republicans, including President @realDonaldTrump, have denounced the violence we experienced.

Democrats are using the Capitol breach to once again try to take out the President, just a few days before he will leave office.
@realDonaldTrump Democrats have called for the President’s removal pursuant to the 25th Amendment.

When that fails, as it surely will, Democrats have promised to rush a second impeachment of the president. They hope to destroy the political movement he has created by destroying its leader.
@realDonaldTrump Democrats have hated @realDonaldTrump since before he pulled off the shocking presidential upset in 2016 over a corrupt Democrat nominee.

I unequivocally oppose this brewing impeachment plot.
