Representative Steny Hoyer, who has been serving as a U.S. Congressman from Maryland’s 5th District since 1981, has issued a series of statements on social media addressing several key issues. Hoyer, a veteran politician with a distinguished career in both the Maryland State Senate and the U.S. Congress, is vocal on matters affecting fiscal policy, federal employee reputations, and early childhood education.

On April 2, 2025, Hoyer commented on Republican approaches to fiscal responsibility. As the Republican authors recall, there was a time when “fiscal responsibility” meant making tough choices. Today, Republicans are trying to have it both ways, changing the rules to pretend their tax cuts for billionaires won’t add to the deficit. Link to tweet.

Later that day, Hoyer addressed remarks made by prominent figures about federal employees. Trump, Vought, and Musk have labeled federal employees as “villains,” including those at @HHSGov who work every day to ensure the health and safety of our nation. He stated that the real villains are not those who serve others but rather those who serve only themselves. Link to tweet.

In his final tweet of the day, Hoyer expressed concern over potential threats to educational initiatives. I have long advocated for the important role that early childhood education plays in our children’s futures. Trump, Musk, and RFK threaten our collective future by dismantling @HeadStartgov regional offices. We must keep working to protect these services for American families. Link to tweet.
