Rep. Randy Feenstra, who has served in the U.S. Congress representing Iowa's 4th District since 2021, shared several statements on February 17, 2025, through social media posts. His tweets addressed various topics, including an environmental initiative, a historical tragedy involving Israel, and a tribute to a fallen law enforcement officer.

In his first tweet of the day at 18:37 UTC, Feenstra expressed gratitude towards EPA administrator Lee Zeldin for establishing a new initiative aimed at energy policy reform. "I thank @epaleezeldin for establishing EPA’s newest initiative — 'Powering the Great American Comeback.' The pillars of this plan outline the Trump administration’s mission to restore American energy dominance." He emphasized the importance of biofuels in this strategy, particularly for Iowa's economy.

Later that day at 19:15 UTC, Feenstra reflected on a significant event in recent history involving Israel. He marked the somber occasion with these words: "Today marks a tragic time in world history and a dark day for our ally, Israel. 500 days ago, vicious Hamas terrorists invaded Israel, murdered more than 1,200 Israelis, and kidnapped innocent people — including American citizens. We must defeat terrorists wherever they lurk."

Finally, at 20:25 UTC, Feenstra paid tribute to a Nebraska State Trooper who lost his life while on duty. He asked for support for those affected by this loss: "Please join me in praying for the family and loved ones of the courageous Nebraska State Trooper who was killed in the line of duty while serving others."
