Rep. Gwen Moore, a U.S. Congress member representing Wisconsin’s 4th district since 2005, shared her views on various issues through social media posts on February 12, 2025. The tweets addressed concerns about transparency in government actions and fiscal policies.
In a tweet posted at 16:25 UTC, Rep. Moore criticized Elon Musk’s approach to transparency by stating that it is limited to posting on X. She demanded clarity regarding the Department of Governmental Entities’ (DOGE) handling of sensitive taxpayer information. “We are demanding answers on what DOGE plans to do with sensitive taxpayer information so they can’t arbitrarily decide things like who gets their tax returns and who gets their Social Security payments.”
Later, at 16:56 UTC, Rep. Moore expressed disapproval of her colleague from the Ways and Means Committee, Doctor Murphy. She highlighted concerns over Donald Trump’s unelected billionaire donor influencing decisions on scientific research funding, specifically regarding NIH funding cuts. “My colleague on the Ways and Means Committee, DOCTOR Murphy, is apparently ok with Donald Trump’s unelected billionaire donor deciding which scientific research is necessary and whole scale nixing NIH funding.”
At 19:22 UTC, Rep. Moore commented on the Republican party’s budget plan unveiled that day. She noted that it aimed to lift the debt limit while allocating $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for wealthy individuals and corporations, questioning their stance as the “party of fiscal responsibility.” “ICYMI: Republicans revealed a budget plan today to lift the debt limit and spend $4.5 TRILLION in tax cuts for wealthy Americans and corporations.”
