Steny Hoyer, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing Maryland's 5th district, has recently shared his thoughts on various political and social issues through a series of tweets. His statements reflect his ongoing commitment to civil rights, opposition to certain Republican policies, and support for federal employees.

On March 10, 2025, Hoyer expressed his honor in joining the annual pilgrimage to the Edmund Pettus Bridge. He paid tribute to the Freedom Marchers involved in Bloody Sunday and mentioned the enduring spirit of John Lewis during the march. "It is always an honor to join the annual @FaithandPolitic pilgrimage to the Edmund Pettus Bridge to pay tribute to the brave Freedom Marchers involved in Bloody Sunday."

The following day, on March 11, 2025, Hoyer criticized a funding bill proposed by Republicans that he claims would grant former President Trump more power. He emphasized that House Democrats are united against this bill and are working towards resolving what he describes as chaos caused by Trump's administration over recent weeks. "Republicans' funding bill would give Trump more unrestricted power to continue his illegal attacks on the American people."

Later on March 11, Hoyer voiced his support for federal employees while criticizing prominent figures such as Trump and Elon Musk. He announced his backing for bipartisan legislation aimed at protecting probationary federal employees. "Our federal employees work diligently every day to serve Americans while Trump, Musk, and Vought only seek to serve themselves."
