$8.5 Billion To Intel, 10,000 New Arizona
Jobs, 4 Republican 'No' Votes |
|
"It’s part of what is
called the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, a
bill originating with ... Sen. Kyrsten
Sinema, working with Sen. Mark Kelly and
Republicans." [ . . . ] "When the bill came
up for a vote in the House, 24 Republicans
sided with Democrats to pass it. None of
those Republicans were from Arizona, which
would reap the most benefits from the
legislation.
Republican Reps.
Andy Biggs,
Paul Gosar,
Debbie Lesko and David Schweikert
all voted against it." |

Where Arizona Republicans In Congress Stand
On Bill That Could Jeopardize In Vitro
Fertilization (IVF) Treatments |
|
"Several Republican
members of Arizona’s congressional
delegation co-sponsored legislation that is
receiving new scrutiny after the Alabama
Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are
children. Republican Reps.
Andy Biggs,
Eli Crane,
Paul Gosar and
Debbie Lesko co-sponsored the Life at
Conception Act, which would give
constitutional equal protection rights to
the unborn. And Rep. David Schweikert
co-sponsored an identical, older version of
the bill in 2021. Unlike similar legislation
that Republicans ran in the U.S. Senate in
2017, the House bill, which would ban nearly
all abortions nationwide, does not include
an IVF exception.
The
proposal is drawing comparisons to a
decision by the Alabama Supreme Court, which
ruled that frozen embryos are considered
children under a Civil War-era state law
that lets parents sue over the death of a
child." |

These 5 House Republicans From Arizona Voted
Against Bill To Keep Federal Government Open |
|
"The U.S. House of
Representatives voted 336-95 to pass a
two-step government funding bill Tuesday,
with five Arizona Republicans opposed to the
measure. The Senate has the rest of the week
to pass the measure to avert a partial
government shutdown on Saturday." [ . . . ]
"Reps.
Andy Biggs,
Eli Crane,
Paul Gosar,
Debbie Lesko and David Schweikert
of Arizona were among the 93 Republicans who
voted against the measure. Just two House
Democrats opposed it." |

Republican Rep. David Schweikert
Is Proposing Expanded Access To
Controversial Weight-Loss
Medications That He Says Would
Help Reduce Long-Term Healthcare
Costs. |
| |
|
"An
Arizona republican has come up
with a new plan for cutting the
fat from budgets. Cutting the
fat from people, what? That's
right, area representative
David Schweikert to you
wants Arizona to start providing
the weight loss drug Ozempic to
people who receive public health
assistance. This is what he
said. He said next year one of
the GLP ones diozempics go off
patent. Schweikert said during a
presentation to the Four Peaks
Young Republicans, the price is
going to crash. What would
happen if you took morbidly
obese populations on Medicare,
Medicaid, Indian Health
Services, the VA, and gave them
access to it? Then he said, in
case you were gonna say this,
it's not fat shaming, it's fat
loving, Schweikert said" |

Fanatical Republican Extremist Of The Day:
David Schweikert |
|
"On this date in 2014,
2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, as well
as 2021, as well as 2022, “Fanatical
Republican Extremist of the Day” published
profiles of the U.S. House Representative
from Arizona’s 1st Congressional District,
David Schweikert, a former real
estate vulture capitalist arch-conservative
who consistently votes to repeal the
Affordable Care Act, defund Planned
Parenthood, fails to understand how the debt
ceiling works, referred to the 2013
Government Shutdown as "my idea of fun", and
was once recorded on video high-fiving Rep.
Ben Quayle on the floor of the house
after denying a pay increase to active duty
soldiers fighting the War on Terror. If that
isn't tacky enough, he also showed a lack of
character when he then turned around after
redistricting and ran against Quayle in the
2012 GOP Primary in Arizona's 6th District,
instead of the 5th, because he preferred how
gerrymandered it was compared to where he
started. Schweikert managed to defeat Quayle
in part by running campaign ads that
insinuated he was bisexual, and as a result,
the rest of the Congressional delegation
from Arizona has turned their backs on him,
and John Boehner removed him from all his
committee assignments because,
as
one GOP staffer said of Schweikert, he's
"one of the most egregious ***holes in the
party". This is what his OWN party thinks of
him. Democrats don't disagree, and
certainly unions don't either, with
Schweikert having compared them to Nazis,
saying, "Goebbels would be proud of them."" |

preventing a government shutdown, but the
measure passed anyway. Republican Reps.
Andy Biggs,
Eli Crane,
Paul Gosar,
Debbie Lesko and David Schweikert
were among the 90 members of their party who
opposed the continuing resolution, which

Rep. Schweikert Celebrates Solar Project But
Slams Inflation Reduction Act That Made It
Possible |
|
"Rep. David
Schweikert voted against the Inflation
Reduction Act and has repeatedly criticized
it as an “Orwellian-named” law that he says
doesn’t reduce inflation and
disproportionately benefits foreign
companies. But in June, the Arizona
Republican sent his staff to a
groundbreaking ceremony at American Legion
Post #58 in Fountain Hills for a solar
project that was made possible entirely
through the IRA." [ . . . ] "Schweikert
voted against the act, and he voted in April
for the "Limit, Save, Grow" act that would
have repealed the clean-energy measures in
the IRA had it become law." |

Rep. David Schweikert Urges Veterans To Seek
Benefits He Voted Against … Twice |
|
"Schweikert, a
congressman since 2010 who is known mostly
for his ethics troubles and campaign finance
violations, is urging Arizona veterans to
take advantage of recently passed health
care benefits that he — Schweikert — voted
against." [ . . . ] "It began with what is
called the PACT Act, a law passed by
Congress that expands VA health care and
benefits for veterans exposed to burn pits,
Agent Orange and other toxic substances.
When the bill came up for a vote in March of
last year, Schweikert voted against it. When
it came up for a vote again in July of that
year he voted against it again." |

Arizona Republican With A Diabetes
‘Fixation' Voted Against Out-Of-Pocket Caps
On Insulin |
|
"Schweikert
made federal health care spending on
diabetes the focus of a speech on the House
floor about tackling the national debt." [ .
. . ] "But Schweikert’s lofty rhetoric is at
odds with aspects of his record. In the last
Congress, Schweikert voted against a
bipartisan bill that would have provided
relief for diabetes patients struggling to
afford insulin, a hormone that allows people
to regulate their blood sugar." [ . . . ]
"In March 2022, the House, then under
Democratic control, passed the Affordable
Insulin Now Act, which would have capped
Medicare and private insurance enrollees’
monthly out-of-pocket insulin costs at $35.
Twelve Republicans joined all House
Democrats to vote in favor of the bill, but
Schweikert was not one of them." |

Arizona Rep. Schweikert Warns Of 'End Of
Your Republic' If Social Program Funds
Aren't Cut |
|
Rep. Dave
Schweikert (R-AZ) suggested during a
speech on July 20 that in order to save the
country, Congress needs to make difficult
cuts
to funding for Social Security and Medicare.
Schweikert said in a long speech on the
House floor that the national debt is out of
control due to an aging population and
mandatory spending on programs such as
Social Security and Medicare, which provide
retirement income and health insurance
coverage to older and disabled Americans.” |
