Rep. Pat Fallon, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 4th district since 2021, has recently shared his views on several pressing issues via social media. Fallon, who succeeded John Ratcliffe and previously served in the Texas House of Representatives and Senate, has expressed concerns about education, national security, and international relations.

On March 23, 2025, Rep. Pat Fallon commented on the state of American education by highlighting a significant increase in non-teacher positions alongside declining student proficiency in math and reading. He stated: "While non-teacher positions have bloomed 700% in recent decades, American students are falling behind in math and reading proficiency, despite trillions spent on education. The Dept. of Education has been putting the needs & wants of teachers unions ahead of students' education."

In another post dated March 24, 2025, Fallon addressed concerns over national security related to advancements made by US adversaries in space exploration. He urged for prioritization within military and intelligence sectors: "US adversaries, particularly China, are making major gains in space. We can't continue to ignore this threat to our national security. Our military and intelligence community MUST prioritize the domain of space."

Further expressing his stance on foreign policy under President Trump's administration on March 24, 2025, Rep. Fallon emphasized a firm position against Iran's nuclear ambitions: "With President Trump in the White House once again, the US has sent a clear message that Iran's nuclear ambitions and state sponsorship of terrorism will not be tolerated."
