Congresswoman Hillary Scholten, representing Michigan's 3rd district since 2023, has been actively sharing her views and concerns on social media regarding recent political developments. Her recent tweets provide insight into her stance on various issues as President Trump begins his term in office.

On January 27, 2025, Scholten shared an informative resource for West Michigan residents about law enforcement officers navigating the early days of President Trump's administration. She stated: "FYI: West Michigan, this is an informative read as our law enforcement officers navigate President Trump’s first few days in office."

In a subsequent tweet posted moments later on the same day, Scholten emphasized her commitment to monitoring presidential policies while prioritizing the needs of West Michiganders. She tweeted: "Team Scholten continues to monitor the president’s policies, and West Michiganders remain our top priority and the core of what we do everyday."

The following day, January 28, 2025, Scholten expressed concern over budgetary decisions impacting domestic and foreign assistance programs. She warned against what she described as a "reckless pause," highlighting potential threats to vulnerable groups and national security. Her tweet read: "We need to address the budget and spending, but a reckless pause like this one—on ALL domestic and foreign assistance threatens children, the elderly, our farmers planning every day for the spring, and our national security."
