Rep. Pat Fallon, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 4th district, has expressed concerns over various national issues through a series of tweets. Fallon, who succeeded John Ratcliffe in 2021, has been vocal about matters concerning national security and government efficiency.

On February 20, 2025, Rep. Pat Fallon tweeted about the geopolitical dynamics involving Russia and China. He stated that "The erosion of U.S. hard power has created power vacuums that Russia and China seek to exploit as a means to undermine the West." He emphasized that former President Trump believed "peace through strength is the key to deterring US adversaries and boosting regional security."

Later on the same day, Fallon addressed allegations against DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), criticizing media narratives. In his tweet at 17:10 UTC, he remarked that "Corrupt politicians and the fake news media have repeatedly lied about DOGE's work." He asserted their efforts are aligned with President Trump's agenda to enhance government efficiency and eliminate fraud.

In another tweet posted at 20:37 UTC on February 20, Fallon highlighted fiscal challenges facing the nation. He noted that "Our burgeoning $32 trillion national debt presents an existential threat to US national security." Stressing the importance of military funding for defense purposes, he called for reducing wasteful spending and lowering the debt-to-GDP ratio.
