Rep. Glenn Ivey, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Maryland's 4th district, has recently shared his perspectives on several pressing issues via social media. His tweets reflect his stance on economic policies, administrative changes, and his role as a representative.

On March 4, 2025, Rep. Ivey commented on the impact of former President Trump's tariff plans as analyzed by Yale's Budget Lab. He stated that "Trump’s tariff plans will drive up costs for the average American family between $1,600 and $2,000 per year." According to him, prices for goods such as computers, phones, and TVs are expected to increase by over 10%, along with significant price hikes for cars.

Later that day at 21:29 UTC, Rep. Ivey reported his participation with AFGE National at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). He expressed concerns about "the administration’s dangerous plan to dismantle OPM," emphasizing the importance of maintaining critical programs related to hiring policy and diversity policy.

In another post at 22:02 UTC on the same day, Rep. Ivey highlighted his commitment to representing his constituents' interests by stating he would not attend President Trump's address to Congress that evening. He mentioned "the tremendous responsibility that I have to my constituents" as a reason for this decision.
