Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Georgia's 14th district, has been vocal on various issues through her social media posts. On February 3, 2025, she shared her views on defense contracts and USAID funding.

In a tweet posted at 02:57:11 UTC, Rep. Greene criticized an unnamed individual for their stance on defense contracts. She stated, "This little hypocrite doesn’t care about defense contracts." She accused the individual of voting to fund all defense contracts by supporting funding for the war in Ukraine.

Later that day, at 12:38:35 UTC, Rep. Greene expressed her position on USAID funding. She recounted an attempt made seven months prior to defund USAID and noted that only 81 Republicans supported her amendment with an "aye" vote. In contrast, "127 Republicans and 204 Democrats voted NO to my amendment and voted to FUND USAID," she stated emphatically expressing her support for eliminating USAID entirely.

At 13:28:41 UTC the same day, Rep. Greene addressed inquiries regarding congressional voting records related to defunding USAID. She provided a link for constituents to access these records and emphasized transparency by stating "Our vote records ARE PUBLIC." She encouraged public accountability by reminding citizens that they are effectively the bosses of Congress members.
