Hello, Friends —
This week in Congress, Republican Warriors banded together to say enough is enough. From showing up at the DC Department of Corrections and investigating the conditions of January 6th prisoners to defying Nancy Pelosi’s unconstitutional mask mandate, our battle to keep America free has only begun. We will not be silent, we will not go away, and we will continue to press these issues. Here’s a look at our week in review:
REPS. GAETZ, GOHMERT, GOSAR AND GREENE LOCKED OUT OF CORRECTIONS FACILITY
On Thursday, I joined Representatives Louie Gohmert, Paul Gosar, Marjorie Taylor Greene to inspect the corrections facility where the January 6th prisoners are being held. Department of Corrections staff LOCKED OUT Members of Congress from our review of the conditions. The American people deserve answers. What is Attorney General Merrick Garland hiding?

REP. GAETZ DISCUSSES BIG TECH WITH DR. GORKA
On Monday, I appeared on “The Gorka Reality Hour” to discuss how we are going to break up Big Tech and stop social media censorship. As long as Big Tech maintains its oligopoly, it will continue to collude with the Democratic Party to deprive Americans of their free speech.

PELOSI APPOINTEES SHOULD NOT SERVE ON OTHER COMMITTEES
On Monday, I also joined Newsmax’s National Report to discuss Kevin McCarthy’s duty to take stronger action against RINO’s Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney. If they’re going to accept Nancy Pelosi’s appointments to committees, we should remove them as Republican representatives on the House Armed Services and Energy & Commerce committees.

REP GAETZ CONDEMNS U.N.-SPONSORED ANTI-SEMITISM
I am proud to cosponsor Rep. Chip Roy’s bill because your tax dollars have no place perpetuating antisemitism. The United Nations Relief and Work Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) takes American foreign aid money and provides the United States with nothing in return. This is yet another example of wasteful foreign assistance, which subverts American interests abroad and undermines our nation.

REP. GAETZ COSPONSORS RESOLUTION COMMENDING PRIVATE SECTOR SPACE EFFORTS
Of the many things Floridians can be proud of, one the best has to be our deep connection to space. For this reason, I recently cosponsored House Resolution 515, which praises the efforts of those working on the Artemis program. It is with great pride that I support our best and brightest who are working to take us back to the Moon!

AROUND THE DISTRICT
PASSPORTS
As summer is upon us and much needed vacations are on the horizon, we want to remind everyone traveling abroad to check their passports! If your passport needs to be updated, apply early! With the backed-up demand from Covid, the Department of State (DoS) is taking much longer than usual to process passports. On average, our district office noticed that it takes DoS 18 weeks on a regular timeline and 12 weeks to process an expedited passport. I suggest that you apply 6 months ahead of your scheduled departure and enjoy your time abroad!
NATIONAL CEMETERY
We cherish the service and sacrifice of every military veteran who chooses to represent the United States. But sadly, not everyone has loved ones to see them off when the time comes. With this in mind, my staff proudly attended the Unaccompanied Veteran Ceremony at Barrancas National Cemetery.
