Darin LaHood, a U.S. Congressman representing Illinois’ 16th district, has been active on social media discussing various legislative and national security issues. Since replacing Aaron Schock in 2015, LaHood has focused on matters of public concern, as evidenced by his recent tweets.
On March 3, 2025, LaHood highlighted concerns regarding the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its impact on U.S. national security. He stated that "The CCP has made it clear that it will exploit any tool at its disposal to undermine US national security, spew disinformation, and collect Americans’ data." Alongside Representative Josh Gottheimer (@RepJoshG), he sent a letter urging U.S. governors to ban DeepSeek from state government devices.
Later that day, LaHood announced his collaboration with Representatives Angie Craig and Michelle Fischbach in reintroducing the Rebuild America’s Health Care Schools Act. In his tweet from March 3, 2025, he expressed pride in this initiative: "I was proud to be joined by @RepAngieCraig and @RepFischbach in reintroducing the Rebuild America’s Health Care Schools Act." The bill aims to enhance education for nurses and health professionals while increasing healthcare access in rural areas of Illinois' 16th district.
On March 4, 2025, LaHood commented on President Biden's accomplishments over the past month concerning border security and job creation. He remarked: "In just over a month, @POTUS has delivered on key promises to secure our borders, invest in high-paying American jobs, and protect US national security." He also looked forward to attending a joint session to hear further plans.
