Hillary Scholten, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Michigan's 3rd District since 2023, recently shared her thoughts and activities on social media. Scholten, who succeeded Peter Meijer in Congress, has been vocal about her stance on various issues affecting her constituents and the nation.

On January 31, 2025, Scholten expressed criticism towards the House GOP in a tweet stating: "Make no mistake: @HouseGOP spent the past few days at Trump’s golf resort in Florida to finalize a plan to punish hardworking American taxpayers while providing huge new tax breaks for billionaire donors. I’m keeping my eyes wide open and will never stop fighting for MI-03."

Later that day, she highlighted West Michigan's role in aerospace innovation. In a tweet posted at 03:20 AM UTC, she mentioned: "West Michigan is leading the way in aerospace innovation with companies like @GE, which boasts two aerospace manufacturing facilities in MI-03. I toured their Grand Rapids facility to hear more about their efforts to create jobs and keep us on the cutting edge of manufacturing."

In another post on January 31st at 14:54 PM UTC, Scholten emphasized her commitment to Social Security by tweeting: "85 years since its first check was issued and Social Security remains a lifeline for millions. I was proud to cosponsor the Social Security Fairness Act, which has become law. I'll keep fighting to ensure West Michiganders receive the benefits they’ve worked a lifetime to earn."
