Let’s build the future of Eastern Washington 🇺🇸 @JudiciaryGOP, @HouseForeignGOP, @EdWorkforceCmte

Requiring ID to vote is just common sense. I was proud to vote YES on the SAVE America Act.

[Congressman Michael Baumgartner @RepBaumgartner]

I support both an Emergency Declaration and Major Disaster Declaration from FEMA for the E. Washington fires. 🇺🇸

[Congressman Michael Baumgartner @RepBaumgartner]

@bradmwarren Your efforts to keep our community informed under very challenging circumstances are appreciated.

[4 News Now @kxly4news]

If you or someone you know was affected by the eastern Washington wildfires, help is available now. The federal approval lets pharmacies speed medication refills, allows home health services in shelters and hotels, and waives some pre-authorizations. https://t.co/kbUheUVwsA

Didn’t think I’d ever get the chance to be teammates with a future WNBA superstar…(let’s keep women’s sports for women and girl’s sports for girls). 🇺🇸

[Riley Gaines @Riley_Gaines_]

Enes Kanter Freedom, former NBA player, has declared himself a @WNBA prospect.

It's happening. This is the way.

Ambassador Vinay Kwatra

[Congressman Michael Baumgartner @RepBaumgartner]

Thank you to the Government of India and Ambassador Vijay Kwatra for the letter of concern and support for those impacted by the devastating fires in E. Washington. We greatly appreciate your friendship. 🇺🇸 🇮🇳

[House Judiciary GOP 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 @JudiciaryGOP]

NEW: Chairmen @Jim_Jordan, @RepFitzgerald, @RepDarrellIssa, and @RepBaumgartner sent a letter to the Korea Media and Communications Commission raising concerns about their new amendment that targets American companies and online speech.

Similar to Europe's DSA legislation, South Korea is threatening American social media companies with massive fines and penalties if they don't comply with removing free speech its government disagrees with.

The Committee will always stand for free speech and protect Americans' rights at home and abroad.

I had a good conversation with the Chief of the Forest Service yesterday and I wholeheartedly agree “thank you wildland firefighters!” 🇺🇸

[USDA Forest Service @forestservice]

Thank you to every wildland firefighter on every line, in every forest, every day. Your courage, dedication, and relentless commitment are the backbone of our nation’s wildfire response.

[Stephen Moore @StephenMoore]

Americans now pay more in taxes than they spend on food, clothing, and shelter combined.

Think about that.

Government has become so big and bloated that taxes cost more than life's basic necessities. Every American taxpayer should be outraged.

[Congressman Michael Baumgartner @RepBaumgartner]

I’m pleased that my District Director Dan Bisbee was able to get up in a helicopter with County Commissioner Josh Kerns to view the fire today. Dan is a former Army Officer who I worked closely with in Baghdad. We are lucky to have someone of his talents helping my office with fire response. 🇺🇸

I’ve been out checking on the devastation with local law enforcement. Still active hot spots and burning in some areas. This is by Rudder parkway .

Heartbreaking scenes of devastation at the Spokane fires, but thankfully so far no reported loss of life. 🇺🇸

[Congressman Michael Baumgartner @RepBaumgartner]

PLEASE DO NOT fly drones over the fire impacted areas. Spokane County Sheriff explains how drones are grounding official aircraft and hurting emergency efforts. 🇺🇸

[Congressman Michael Baumgartner @RepBaumgartner]

Thank you President Trump for granting the FEMA emergency declaration for the fires in Eastern Washington. 🇺🇸

[KHQ Local News @KHQLocalNews]

A suspect has been arrested in connection with the Old Trails Fire, one of several fires that devastated Spokane County and the City of Spokane. Investigators identified and arrested 37-year-old Aaron F. Farinacci, a convicted felon. https://t.co/uYORDIk3Vb

[Melissa Luck ☘ @MelissaKXLY4]

[Congressman Michael Baumgartner @RepBaumgartner]

We have received many questions about how the fires started. An arrest has been made for arson. More info to come. https://t.co/vk4O8YqKwv

The entire Washington State Congressional Delegation (Democrat and Republican) has united in calling for federal support.
