Rep. James Comer, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Kentucky’s 1st district, has been active on social media discussing various issues concerning federal funding, immigration laws, and government reorganization. His recent tweets reflect his focus on oversight and enforcement in these areas.
On February 3, 2025, Rep. Comer announced that the Oversight DOGE subcommittee had invited NPR and PBS chiefs to testify regarding their federal funding and "systemically biased content." The announcement can be found here.
The following day, February 4, 2025, he addressed the topic of sanctuary cities in a tweet stating that they "are making our country less safe by shielding criminals from immigration consequences." He emphasized that enforcing U.S. immigration laws should be prioritized because "criminal illegal aliens should not be in the country in the first place." The full statement is available here.
On February 5, 2025, Rep. Comer expressed support for President Trump's electoral victory aimed at "draining the swamp," asserting that @DOGE is effectively carrying out this mandate.
