Rep. Andy Biggs, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Arizona's 5th district since 2017, recently shared his views on legislative priorities and actions through a series of tweets. The tweets focus on congressional activities related to federal agency oversight and budget reconciliation efforts.

On February 11, 2025, Rep. Biggs tweeted about the upcoming vote on the House Floor for the Midnight Rules Relief Act. He emphasized that "American voters delivered a mandate—Congress must reduce the size and scope of the federal bureaucratic state, and H.R. 77 creates a clear path forward."

In another tweet on the same day, he addressed limitations in current legislative procedures. According to Rep. Biggs, "the CRA forces Congress to consider agency rules one at a time," which hampers effective oversight. He highlighted that H.R. 77 proposes allowing Congress to review multiple rules under a single joint resolution.

Later that day, Rep. Biggs expressed concerns about congressional pace compared to executive actions. He stated that "President Trump is working at lightning speed to fulfill the mandate delivered by the American people." Meanwhile, he criticized Congress for its slow progress on budget reconciliation and urged for resources needed by President Trump.
