Congresswoman Hillary Scholten, representing Michigan’s 3rd district, shared a series of tweets on January 30, 2025, addressing various issues and events. Scholten has been serving in the U.S. Congress since replacing Peter Meijer in 2023. She was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where she currently resides.

On January 30 at 13:13 UTC, Scholten expressed her condolences following an unspecified tragic event. “Heartbroken to wake up to this news. My prayers are with the families of the victims. I am grateful to the first responders working tirelessly on the ground.”

Later that day at 18:12 UTC, Scholten criticized former President Trump regarding a federal freeze that she claims has left many without answers. “We still have no clear guidance from President Trump on the federal freeze he and his team instituted. Our neighbors — seniors, veterans, children, and the sick — are left without answers. This abuse of power only hurts the American people.”

At 20:52 UTC on the same day, Scholten reminded her constituents about tax season and offered assistance with tax-related issues through her office. “It’s tax season, West Michigan. Visit https://t.co/i8xNv1u1VE to see if you qualify to e-file your taxes for free, and reach out to my office if you have issues with the IRS or a tax return. Happy filing!”
