Rep. Joyce Beatty, U.S. Congresswoman representing Ohio’s 3rd district since 2013, has used her social media platform to comment on recent legislative actions and to honor the legacy of a fellow lawmaker.
On July 17, 2025, Beatty posted about a Senate vote affecting public broadcasting: "Public radio and TV stations that air local sports are on the chopping block in the Republican rescissions bill. The Senate passed it at 2 a.m. last night—while you were sleeping. Another late-night vote to slash what our communities rely on. The House could be up next".
A few hours later, on July 18, she addressed further developments in the House: "While many were sleeping, House Republicans just passed another cruel and reckless bill—AGAIN. They slashed billions from PBS, NPR and global assistance Congress ALREADY APPROVED. I voted NO against Trump’s DOGE disaster. Read my statement https://t.co/Eu0woWqlA6 https://t.co/ARR6stGauK".
Later that day, Beatty paid tribute to Congressman Bill Clay Sr., stating: "Mourning the loss of a trailblazing soldier for justice—Congressman Bill Clay Sr., Missouri’s 1st Black congressman and a founding member of the CBC. A fierce champion for labor, education & civil rights. His legacy lives on. Rest in power, Congressman Clay. #CBC #RestInPower https://t.co/vSNylrdFr1".
