Ronny Jackson, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 13th district since 2021, has been vocal on social media about various issues affecting national and international affairs. His recent tweets address concerns over government spending, foreign policy, and local disaster relief efforts.

On February 11, 2025, Jackson expressed his concerns regarding USAID's financial allocations. He criticized what he perceives as "wasteful spending" that threatens national security. Jackson specifically mentioned "WOKE, DEI projects overseas" and funding for "TERRORIST organizations," calling for enhanced governmental oversight and accountability. The tweet concluded with a thank you to @DOGE. "USAID’s wasteful spending THREATENS our national security."

Later that day, Jackson affirmed his unwavering support for Israel in response to a statement by Secretary Rubio. As Co-chair of the Israel Allies Caucus and a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee (GOP), he emphasized his commitment to advocating for Israel's right to self-defense. "America stands UNWAVERING with our GREATEST ally, Israel."

On February 12, 2025, Jackson addressed the challenges faced by agricultural producers and communities in the Panhandle following severe wildfires from the previous year. He announced the reintroduction of a Wildfires Relief Bill aimed at ensuring recovery funds are directed towards rehabilitation rather than being diverted to tax obligations by the IRS. "Agricultural producers, families, and communities in the Panhandle have faced incredible challenges following last year’s devastating wildfires."
