Michael McCaul, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 10th district, shared several updates on social media regarding recent events and international affairs. McCaul, who has served in Congress since 2005, commented on both local tragedies and global security issues.
On March 14, 2025, McCaul expressed his condolences for a tragic accident in Austin. He wrote: "Heartbreaking news out of Austin last night—five lives lost and 11 injured in a devastating crash on I-35. My prayers are with the victims, their families, and first our responders."
The following day, March 15, 2025, McCaul highlighted an achievement in counter-terrorism efforts under President Trump's administration. He stated: "President Trump does not tolerate terrorism. Less than two months into his second term, ISIS' #2 leader has been annihilated in a joint US-Iraqi operation." He praised the president's approach to national security by saying he is "proud to have a president who projects Peace Through Strength & takes decisive action to protect the American people."
On March 16, 2025, McCaul addressed ongoing tensions involving Iran-backed Houthis. He tweeted: "The Iran-backed Houthis have relentlessly attacked US interests & shipping in the Red Sea, disrupted global supply chains, & wreaked havoc across the Middle East." He criticized the previous administration's handling of the situation but noted that this leniency would no longer continue.
