Michael McCaul, a U.S. Congressman representing Texas' 10th district, has recently shared several statements on pressing issues via social media. McCaul, who has been serving in Congress since 2005 and is known for his work in foreign affairs and cybersecurity, addressed topics ranging from international funding to national security.

On February 5, 2025, McCaul expressed approval of the decision to halt U.S. funding to UNRWA due to its "long-standing anti-Israel bias & deeply concerning terrorism ties." He mentioned his previous role as chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee where he highlighted allegations against UNRWA. The original tweet can be accessed here.

The following day, February 6, 2025, McCaul reported that over 8,000 Texans have died from fentanyl overdoses in the past five years. He announced his vote for the HALT Fentanyl Act aimed at enhancing border protection against traffickers and providing law enforcement with necessary resources. The full statement is available here.

On February 7, 2025, McCaul emphasized the importance of cybersecurity as a component of national security.
