Rep. Marcy Kaptur, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Ohio’s 9th district, shared her thoughts on recent events through a series of tweets. These posts cover topics from historical remembrance to current political and social issues.
On January 27, 2025, Rep. Kaptur marked #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay, highlighting the significance of the day as it marks "80 years since the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp." She emphasized the importance of remembering this period in history by stating, "We must never forget this dark moment in Polish and world history, and the millions brutally murdered by the Nazi regime."
On January 28, 2025, she addressed an executive order by President Trump via another tweet. In her message, Rep. Kaptur criticized the impacts of President Trump’s illegal order to freeze federal funding. She outlined its consequences: "missed payrolls for workers, police and fire layoffs, lost access to nutritious meals for children, women, and seniors." She described these actions not as fiscal measures but as acts of cruelty.
In a subsequent tweet dated January 30, 2025, Rep. Kaptur expressed condolences regarding a tragic incident involving military service members and civilians. She stated that her thoughts are with those affected by "a tragic air crash over Virginia tonight." While search and rescue operations were underway at the time of her post, she noted that it was too early to determine the cause but committed to seeking answers.
