Rep. Chip Roy, representing Texas's 21st district in the U.S. Congress, has recently shared a series of tweets outlining his views on current legislative matters. The tweets were posted on March 11, 2025, and provide insights into his stance on government spending and Democrat opposition.

In a tweet posted at 16:38 UTC, Rep. Roy detailed aspects of a Continuing Resolution (CR), stating that it "freezes spending," eliminates earmarks, avoids a "giant omnibus," and permits presidential impoundment. The post can be accessed here.

Later that day, at 17:15 UTC, Rep. Roy commented on what he perceives as Democrat obstruction efforts regarding the clean CR. He stated, "They [Democrats] don't want the lights to be on," suggesting that some members of the executive branch are serious about fulfilling the election mandate given to the President to end certain practices. This tweet is available here.

At 18:08 UTC, Rep. Roy addressed discussions around continuing resolutions, pointing out that every Democrat voted for a previous CR in December except one who may have been absent or otherwise engaged. His remarks emphasize bipartisan support for past resolutions despite current debates. The full tweet can be found here.
