Rep. Glenn Ivey, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Maryland’s 4th district, has been vocal on various issues through his social media platform. His recent tweets cover topics from judicial criticism to healthcare proposals and public broadcasting.
On May 15, 2025, Rep. Ivey addressed former President Donald Trump’s remarks about the judiciary. He stated that “@realDonaldTrump isn’t just criticizing judges—he’s waging a full-blown assault on the judiciary. Calling them ‘lunatics,’ ‘crooked,’ and ‘evil’ isn’t free speech—it’s a calculated attack on the rule of law.” He urged Congress not to remain silent and emphasized the need to protect judges and uphold the rule of law.
Later that day, Rep. Ivey commented on a proposal advanced by the House Commerce Committee. He expressed concern over its potential impact on Medicaid, noting that “The @HouseCommerce Committee just advanced a Republican proposal that threatens to gut Medicaid—cutting up to $625 billion over the next decade.” The proposal includes stricter work requirements and eligibility checks, which could result in 10 million Americans losing their health coverage.
In another tweet posted on May 15, 2025, Rep. Ivey showed support for public broadcasting entities in response to an executive order by President Trump aimed at defunding NPR and PBS. He asserted his stance by saying “I stand with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting as they push back against President Trump’s executive order to defund @NPR and @PBS.” Highlighting the importance of local public media, he noted its role in providing emergency alerts, educational programs, and independent news.
Glenn Ivey has served in Congress since 2023 after replacing Anthony Brown. Born in Chelsea, Massachusetts in 1961, he now resides in Cheverly. An alumnus of Princeton University (BA) and Harvard Law School (JD), Ivey previously served in the Maryland House of Representatives.
