Steny Hoyer, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing Maryland's 5th district, recently took to social media to engage with his constituents and share insights on current events. His tweets focused on interactions with federal employees, ongoing economic developments under the Biden-Harris Administration, and challenges faced by federal workers.

On February 7, 2025, Hoyer announced his participation in a telephone town hall alongside Rep. Glenn Ivey and Councilmember Deni Taveras. He stated: "Tune in now as I join @RepGlennIvey and @CouncilD5Ivey for a telephone town hall where we are answering questions for federal employees in #MD04 and #MD05."

Later that day, Hoyer expressed gratitude to those who attended the virtual event. He reaffirmed his commitment to supporting federal workers against perceived adversities posed by prominent figures. He tweeted: "Thank you to everyone in #MD05 and #MD04 for joining last night’s Virtual Town Hall with @RepGlennIvey and @CouncilD5Ivey. We will not rest until federal workers have the resources they need to weather Trump and Musk's bullying."

In another post on February 7, Hoyer highlighted positive trends in the labor market during President Biden's tenure. He remarked: "Today's #JobsReport indicates America's labor market grew every month President Biden held office, proving that the Biden-Harris Administration oversaw unprecedented economic recovery." The report cited job growth statistics including an increase of 143,000 jobs and an unemployment rate of 4%.
