Steny Hoyer, a seasoned U.S. Congressman representing Maryland’s 5th District, recently addressed various issues concerning the Trump Administration's policies affecting federal employees. His comments were shared through a series of tweets, highlighting his office's active engagement with constituents and ongoing advocacy for federal workforce rights.

On February 6, 2025, Steny Hoyer tweeted about the influx of calls his office has received regarding "the Trump Administration's policies & actions toward the federal workforce." He urged constituents from Maryland's 5th District to continue voicing their concerns and to visit his website for further resources. "My office has received hundreds of calls regarding the Trump Administration's policies & actions toward the federal workforce."

Later that day, Hoyer announced a virtual town hall event in collaboration with Representative Glenn Ivey and Council D5Ivey to discuss how these policies could affect federal employees in districts MD04 and MD05. The town hall was scheduled for that evening at 7:30 p.m., providing a platform for direct interaction between officials and constituents. "Join me, @RepGlennIvey, and @CouncilD5Ivey for a Virtual Town Hall this evening to discuss how the Trump Administration's attacks would impact federal employees in #MD04 and #MD05."

In another tweet posted on February 6, 2025, Hoyer expressed concern over potential dismissals within USAID. He praised USAID employees as promoters of freedom and democracy globally and warned that firing them could undermine U.S. credibility with allies while empowering adversaries like Putin. "Federal employees at USAID make America a beacon of light and promote freedom and democracy across the world."
