Steny Hoyer, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing Maryland's 5th district, recently shared several updates via social media regarding significant events and concerns in federal operations. Hoyer has been active in legislative matters since 1981 and continues to engage with issues affecting both his constituents and the broader national community.

On February 7, 2025, Hoyer announced the forthcoming 44th Annual Black History Month Breakfast. The event was set to feature Everett Kelley, the National President of the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), as a special guest. Hoyer expressed anticipation for joining Representative Glenn Ivey and President Kelley at the event.

By February 10, 2025, Hoyer expressed concerns over "deferred resignation" acceptances within federal agencies. He highlighted potential impacts on service delivery to Americans and noted his collaboration with Jill Tokuda in addressing these concerns through a letter to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (USOPM).

Later that day, on February 10, 2025, Hoyer conveyed gratitude towards participants of the Black History Month Breakfast. He acknowledged Everett Kelley as this year's keynote speaker and reiterated his commitment to supporting federal workers while advancing equality, opportunity, and justice.
