Congressman Mike Lawler, currently serving New York's 17th district in the U.S. Congress, shared his perspectives on recent political developments through a series of tweets. Lawler, who has been in office since 2023 after succeeding Mondaire Jones, expressed his views on issues ranging from foreign policy to local economic relief.

Later that day, at a Foreign Affairs Committee hearing, he criticized Secretary of State Antony Blinken's tenure. In his tweet from December 11, 2024, he stated: "Antony Blinken’s legacy as Secretary of State is one of dysfunction, weakness, and death. He has made the world a more dangerous place, and at today’s Foreign Affairs Committee hearing, I urged him to reflect on those failures."

In another tweet posted on December 12, 2024, Congressman Lawler addressed local economic issues faced by New Yorkers. He remarked: "Giving New Yorkers $500 back while taking thousands more from them in new tolls and taxes isn't relief; it's a slap in the face to those barely getting by. New Yorkers need real relief, and I'm going to keep fighting to deliver it."
