Rep. Andy Biggs, a U.S. Congressman representing Arizona’s 5th district, shared several updates on social media on January 26, 2025. The tweets covered topics ranging from congressional plans to international sanctions.

In a tweet posted at 18:00 UTC, Rep. Biggs mentioned that members of the Freedom Caucus had sent a letter to Speaker Johnson urging consideration of their reconciliation plan. According to Biggs, the plan aims to provide President Trump with necessary resources without negotiating with Democrats. "Last week, @FreedomCaucus board members led a letter to Speaker Johnson urging him to consider HFC’s reconciliation plan."

Later that day at 19:40 UTC, Rep. Biggs commented on President Trump's decision to impose sanctions on Colombia after its leader refused repatriation of citizens who had entered the United States illegally. He suggested that other world leaders should take note of this approach and expressed skepticism about diplomatic strategies that rely solely on incentives. "President Trump just slapped sanctions on Colombia after their leader refused to take back their people who have illegally invaded our country."

Shortly thereafter at 19:50 UTC, Rep. Biggs posted another brief message reflecting his views on international relations and security strategy by stating "Peace through strength." This succinct comment was linked to recent developments in foreign policy under the Trump administration."That was fast."
