U.S. Representative Joyce Beatty, who serves Ohio’s 3rd district, addressed her followers on July 23, 2025, with a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter) criticizing Republican policies and actions in Congress.
In two nearly identical messages posted at 16:00 and 16:01 UTC, Beatty wrote, “While Trump and Republicans slash the critical, lifesaving programs Americans count on, Democrats are doing the work that really matters:
Engaging in our communities at home,
Fighting to protect the benefits hardworking families rely on.

Later that day at 20:35 UTC, she posted another message regarding transparency issues in Congress: “The blatant hypocrisy of Trump and Congressional Republicans when it comes to the Epstein files is appalling.
We’re recessing early because they can’t be transparent with the American people. https://t.co/XSbktEjxLg“
