U.S. Representative Joyce Beatty, who serves Ohio’s 3rd district, addressed several pressing issues in a series of tweets posted on July 28 and July 29, 2025.

On July 28, Beatty highlighted her engagement with local labor organizations: "Today, I hosted a roundtable with the Central Ohio Labor Council, AFL-CIO, and reps from many of its affiliate unions to discuss how the Trump Admin's attacks on unions will harm Ohioans. I proudly reaffirmed my commitment to stand with Central Ohio organized labor amid https://t.co/uJ8ZgpLCLn". The tweet underscored her ongoing support for organized labor in the region.

Later that day, she called for greater transparency regarding high-profile criminal investigations: "The American people deserve a government that works for them, not one that shields pedophiles – no matter how wealthy or well-connected their associates may be. House Republicans must stop covering for Trump and join us to release the Epstein Files now. https://t.co/zPUmnE3ByE".

In another post early on July 29, Beatty commented on gun violence following a mass shooting: "This deadly shooting is yet another tragic reminder that mass shootings are a national crisis. We mourn the lives lost and commend the swift response of law enforcement. America cannot afford to stay silent. It's time to act to end the epidemic of gun violence. https://t.co/DLPygmB1d7".
