Rep. Glenn Ivey, a current member of the U.S. Congress representing Maryland’s 4th district, has shared his thoughts on various issues through a series of tweets. Known for his educational background with degrees from Princeton University and Harvard Law School, Ivey took to social media on January 27, 2025, to address matters ranging from historical remembrance to contemporary military education.

On January 27, 2025, Rep. Glenn Ivey acknowledged International Holocaust Remembrance Day by stating: “On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people who were killed during the Holocaust. As we reflect upon this dark chapter in history, we must reaffirm our fight against antisemitism and hatred in all forms.”

Later that day, he expressed condolences over the passing of a notable radio personality: “We’ve lost a radio legend. Dimitri Sotis has been on the D.C. region airwaves for over two decades keeping locals informed of the latest and breaking news. He will be dearly missed. Rest in Peace.” This tweet was posted at 16:25 UTC.

In another tweet at 21:39 UTC on the same day, Rep. Ivey commended the U.S. Air Force’s decision to continue its training programs for pioneering Black and female pilots despite recent controversies over diversity initiatives: “I applaud the Air Force for resuming their teaching of the first Black and female pilots amidst the DEI backlash. These training courses not only honor the Tuskegee Airmen and WASPS, they also keep their legacy going and remind us of barriers they broke.”
