Rep. Randy Feenstra, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Iowa's 4th district, shared a series of tweets addressing economic and agricultural issues. Feenstra has been vocal about tax reforms, budget deficits, and support for farm producers.

On February 11, 2025, Rep. Feenstra highlighted the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act introduced during President Trump's administration. He stated that "President Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act cut income taxes and doubled the standard deduction so that American families could keep more of their hard-earned money!"

Later on the same day, at 14:37 UTC, he expressed concerns over federal spending under the current administration. He cited findings from a government body saying "The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found that $838 BILLION was ADDED to our deficit in the last four months of the Biden-Harris administration." He emphasized the need to "end out-of-control spending and balance our federal budget."

In another tweet posted at 17:29 UTC on February 11, Rep. Feenstra addressed challenges faced by farmers due to high input costs and restricted export markets. He noted his collaboration with colleagues to pass legislation supporting agriculture: "Our farm producers can't be left behind when input costs are high, commodity prices are low, and export markets are restricted." His efforts focus on a five-year Farm Bill aimed at strengthening American agriculture.
