The Week in Review

Happy Friday!

It’s time to “Retire the Tyrant.” Frankly, that’s all I am left with at the conclusion of this past week. Nancy Pelosi reimposed the mask mandate for both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals in the U.S. House of Representatives and directed U.S. Capitol Police to arrest anyone failing to comply. Despite overwhelming evidence suggesting the move is futile, it is clear her motives were only about power. Anyways, despite the charade of Dictator Pelosi, my work carried on. Continue reading below to see more important happenings from the week:

Remove Cheney & Kinzinger

On Tuesday, as Chair of the House Freedom Caucus, I sent a letter to Leader McCarthy offering a resolution to remove Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger from the House Republican Conference. The rule effectively says that any Member of the Conference who accepts a committee assignment or serves on a committee without a recommendation shall immediately cease to be a Member of the Republican Conference. Watch my full remarks below:

Interview on Newsmax with Rob Schmitt

I joined the Rob Schmitt Tonight show on Newsmax to discuss President Biden reimposing a mask mandate. The CDC’s new recommendation to wear masks is based upon a non-peer reviewed study using data from India, which utilizes vaccines not approved for use in the United States. The Democrats continue to flip-flop on the issue of “trusting the science” to protect their narrative. Click on the photo to watch my interview:

It's the People's House

Yesterday, we sent a loud clear message to the Swamp: Pelosi’s tyrannical rule is not welcomed in the people’s House. I led several members of the Republican party in protest of the reimposed mask mandate by walking unmasked from the Senate, where masks are not required, to the House. Despite Nancy Pelosi’s belief that the virus knows not to cross the invisible line between the two chambers, this is not the case. We just thought we’d demonstrate.

Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security

The House Judiciary Committee met for a hearing titled, "A Fine Scheme: How Court-Imposed Fees and Fines Unjustly Burden Vulnerable Communities." I stressed the need to address the reckless policies of the Biden administration, which have led to the greatest crisis at our southern border and soaring crime, before we focus on smaller issues. Nonetheless, court-imposed fees are a state issue and the federal government should not bribe states to implement specific policies. Click on the photo below to listen to my remarks:

Discussion with Rep. Cline and Rep. Harris on Democrats’ Radical Spending Agenda

As Chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, it was my pleasure to sit down with two of my good friends and colleagues, Congressman Ben Cline and Congressman Andy Harris, M.D., to talk about federal spending. Both members sit on the Appropriations Committee, which is responsible for drafting legislation to use federal dollars. As strong conservatives, my colleagues have been voices of reason on the committee, which otherwise has a spending problem. Click on the photo below to listen in:

Introduced Women's Health Resolution

I reintroduced my resolution recognizing the importance of access to comprehensive, high-quality, life-affirming medical care for women of all ages and the work Pro Women’s Healthcare Centers (PWHC) have done to provide that care. Click on the bill below to read the press release:

Democrats Scramble for Power

I have said all along that Democrats are relishing in their ability to control the lives of Americans and exert their authority over us. After a few months of liberty and allowance for personal responsibility, two hallmarks of the American way of life, Democrats’ grip on power has slipped and they want nothing more than to get it back. If we let them have their way, Democrats would force everyone back into their homes, limit us to pre-approved activities, and provide everyone with government payment to cover the loss of income. They would fulfill the Marxist dystopia of which they all dream. We cannot give into their power trip and fear tactics any longer. We must refuse this interference in our lives and restore the blessings and consequences of the personal freedom upon which our nation was founded.

Appropriations Summary

This week House Democrats brought several appropriations bills to the floor to fund federal departments and agencies. These bills increased spending, removed pro-life protections, and included numerous far-left policy provisions. I, along with many of my Republican colleagues, introduced amendments to these bills in an attempt to undo the damage that these bills will cause. See list of amendments below:

Sponsored Amendments to:
o Prohibit the use of fetal tissue research. Federal funding should never be used to advance research associated with the study of fetal tissue of unborn children.
o Prohibit to issuance of vaccine passports or proof of COVID-19 vaccine status to access federal services or federal property.
o Prohibit the Department of Health and Human Services from releasing an unaccompanied alien child to a sponsor unless the sponsor is the parent or legal guardian of the child, the sponsor is lawfully present in the United States, and the sponsor and every member of the sponsor’s household have passed a criminal background check.
o Prohibit the Biden administration from finalizing a proposed rule to strengthen DACA and a proposed rule to change who qualifies for asylum.
o Prohibit the ATF from finalizing a proposed rule to regulate pistol stabilizing braces.
o Prohibit federal funding from going to sanctuary jurisdictions.
o Strike language from the bill that allows congressional offices to hire DACA recipients.
o Prohibit funding from going to the U.N. Human Rights Council. The U.N. Human Rights Council is made of countries who oppose Israel and use the council to coverup their own human rights abuses. Members of the council include China, Cuba, Pakistan, Russia, and Venezuela.
Cosponsored Amendments to:
o Restore pro-life protections, such as the Hyde Amendment, to the bills. Taxpayer dollars should not be used to pay for abortions.
o Reduce the overall spending levels of the bills.
o Strike language from the bill that prohibits certain charter schools from receiving federal funding. The federal government should not discriminate against charter schools.
o Prohibit federal funding from being used to promote critical race theory. Taxpayer funds should not be used to advance a curriculum that teaches that the United States is systemically racist. 
o Strike earmarks from the bill. Earmarks are used by leadership to buy votes for their costly and inflation inducing bills. 
o Prohibit funds from being used to repeal, revise, or replace the Trump administration’s Navigable Waters Protection Rule. 
o Prohibit funds from being used to fund the U.N.’s Population Fund. The UN Population Fund has supported China’s birth limitation policy which compels women to abort their children and/or be sterilized.

" . . .It will be another tricky weather and air quality forecast today for Phoenix. High pressure is now centered over the Arkansas/Oklahoma state line, which is continuing the east/southeast flow over Arizona. At the same time, the disturbance we have been tracking is now over southern Arizona and Northern Mexico. While we will likely see some isolated thunderstorms in the Valley this afternoon into the evening hours, with chances continuing overnight into tomorrow, not expecting widespread activity in the Valley. With that said, any storms that do form will be capable of producing gusty winds and heavy rain.

Later this weekend into the first part of next week, expect conditions to dry out as high pressure builds back overhead. This pattern shift will result in mainly clear skies, light winds, meager to no storm chances in the Valley, and warmer temperatures Sunday through at least Tuesday.

As for air quality, ozone will once again be the primary pollutant of concern. With added cloud cover from time-to-time, along with the potential for some storm activity, expecting ozone levels to be in the upper Moderate AQI category today. As skies clear and storm chances dwindle later Saturday into the first part of next week, forecasting ozone to quickly build up in the Valley.

As a result, an Ozone High Pollution Advisory is in effect for Saturday and Sunday, with an Ozone High Pollution Watch in effect for Monday and Tuesday.

Have a great weekend!

High Pollution Advisory HPA Maricopa County Phoenix

The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) is issuing a High Pollution Advisory (HPA) for ozone effective July 31 and Aug. 1, 2021, in the Phoenix area. ADEQ recommends that people limit outdoor activity while the HPA is in effect, especially children and adults with respiratory problems.

Ground-level ozone forms when two types of pollutants — volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) — react in sunlight. These pollutants come primarily from automobiles, but also from other sources, including industries, power plants and products, such as solvents and paints. Generally, the highest levels of ozone occur in the afternoon.

Health Impacts

People most vulnerable to the impacts of air pollution include children, older adults, adults exercising outdoors, people with heart or lung disease, and those suffering from asthma and bronchitis. Exposure can increase the number and severity of asthma attacks, cause or aggravate bronchitis or other lung disease, and reduce the body’s ability to fight infection. Symptoms may include itchy eyes, nose and throat, wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain and upper respiratory issues

BACKGROUND

High Pollution Advisory (HPA) | Notifies the public that the level of an air pollutant is forecast to exceed the federal health standard.

High Pollution Watch (HPW) | Notifies the public when there is potential for a pollutant to exceed the federal health standard.
