Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne, representing Texas' 24th district, shared a series of tweets on December 9, 2024, addressing issues related to veterans' benefits, border security, and congratulating a local football team. These tweets reflect her ongoing legislative efforts and engagement with her constituents.
In a tweet posted on December 9 at 18:10 UTC, Congresswoman Van Duyne criticized the delay in benefits for North Texas veterans and seniors due to bureaucratic inefficiencies. She stated, "North Texas veterans and seniors are waiting for their benefits while bureaucrats refuse to come to work. I voted for the SHOW UP Act to change this, but Schumer’s been hitting snooze. If you’re collecting a taxpayer salary, show up!" This message underscores her support for the SHOW UP Act aimed at ensuring accountability among government employees.
Later that day at 18:56 UTC, she addressed national border security concerns by emphasizing the need for leadership prioritizing American interests. She tweeted, "After four years of broken borders, our country desperately needs #AmericaFirst leadership. Help is on the way for our dedicated @BPUnion agents!" This reflects her stance on reinforcing border policies and supporting Border Patrol agents.
Finally, in a tweet from December 9 at 22:25 UTC, Van Duyne extended congratulations to Southern Methodist University's football team on their achievement. She wrote, "Congratulations to #TX24’s @SMUFB on making it to the College Football Playoff! #PonyUpDallas" celebrating local sports success within her district.
