Steny Hoyer, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing Maryland's 5th district, has recently voiced his opinions on various political matters through a series of tweets. Hoyer, who has been in office since 1981 and has a background in law and public service, shared his thoughts on issues involving transparency, international relations, and a tribute to a former colleague.

On March 6, 2025, Hoyer criticized the actions of "Trump and Musk's DOGE," stating that they have acted "without transparency, regard to the law, oversight from Congress, or any understanding of how their actions hurt the American people." He emphasized that his colleagues on the Appropriations Democrats’ FSGG Subcommittee will continue to hold DOGE and the Trump Administration accountable. "Trump and Musk's DOGE has acted without transparency..."

Later that day, Hoyer expressed concern over the Trump Administration's plan to revoke temporary legal status from 240,000 Ukrainian refugees in the United States. He argued that this action provides "aid & comfort to our enemy" and suggests that Trump's intentions are not aligned with peace for Ukraine but rather favoring Russia. "The Trump Administration continues to give aid & comfort..."

On March 7, 2025, Hoyer took to the House Floor to honor Beverly Byron, a former U.S. Representative for Maryland's 6th District. He praised her dedication to her constituents and principles which earned her bipartisan respect. Hoyer lamented her passing as a significant loss for both Maryland and America. "I spoke on the House Floor today to honor my dear friend Beverly Byron..."
