On April 9, 2025, at 16:00:58 UTC, Ivey shared his thoughts on political division in the context of historical reflection. He tweeted, “Amidst the global trade war and a divided nation politically, let’s remember the common ground that all of us as Americans share which was paid for by blood, sweat and tears of those before us.

Later the same day, on April 9, 2025, Ivey acknowledged NASA’s contributions and its future role, mentioning the introduction of the first NASA astronaut in 1959.

NASA must be protected, not”. Ivey emphasized the importance of safeguarding NASA to continue inspiring upcoming generations.
