Michael McCaul, a U.S. Congressman representing Texas' 10th district since 2005, recently shared his thoughts on various matters through social media posts. Born in Dallas in 1962 and currently residing in Austin, McCaul holds degrees from Trinity University and St. Mary's University, Texas.

On March 5, 2025, McCaul expressed his condolences regarding the death of former Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner. In a tweet posted at 15:36 UTC, he stated: "Deeply saddened by the passing of former Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, a dedicated public servant who stepped up to take the late Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee’s seat in January. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, loved ones, and the people of Houston as they grieve yet…"

Later that day at 17:13 UTC, McCaul marked the beginning of Lent with a message to Christians worldwide: "Today, we begin the season of Lent with #AshWednesday — a time for reflection, repentance, and renewal. Wishing Christians around the globe a blessed 40 days as we anticipate the hope of Easter Sunday."

In another post on March 5 at 21:11 UTC, McCaul criticized the Biden administration's handling of Afghanistan withdrawal. He tweeted: "The Biden admin's Afghanistan withdrawal was a failure of epic proportions, as my 3-year investigation uncovered. This extradition is a crucial step toward providing justice for our Gold Star families & repairing America's reputation on the world stage."
