Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne, representing Texas' 24th district, has been actively sharing updates on her legislative efforts and community engagements through social media. Her recent posts highlight initiatives to reduce government spending, changes in Pentagon policy regarding abortion funding, and support for veterans in North Texas.

On January 31, 2025, Congresswoman Van Duyne announced the introduction of the Government Offices Realignment and Closure Act. She expressed gratitude towards fellow representatives who joined her in this initiative aimed at cutting wasteful spending and reducing bureaucracy. "Thank you to @RepBrandonGill, @RepPatFallon, @TXRandy14, and @RepMoylan for joining me in introducing the Government Offices Realignment and Closure Act to cut wasteful spending, shrink the bureaucracy, and pay down our national debt!"

Later that day, she shared news about a significant policy change at the Pentagon. The decision involved ending President Biden's policy of using tax dollars for abortion facilitation. Van Duyne noted her role in advocating for this change as part of the FY25 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). " The Pentagon has ended President Biden’s unlawful policy of using tax dollars to facilitate abortion. I fought for this policy to be included in the FY25 NDAA and am glad to see Secretary @PeteHegseth and @POTUS take swift action to stop this illegal use of taxpayer money."

In another post from January 31st, Congresswoman Van Duyne recounted hosting a roundtable discussion focused on veterans' issues within North Texas. This event was aimed at addressing pressing concerns faced by veterans and exploring ways her office can continue supporting them. "Yesterday, I hosted a veteran-focused roundtable at our district office to discuss the most pressing issues facing North Texas veterans and how our office can continue to support them. Thank you to all who participated in this powerful discussion! @combinedarmsus, @wwp."
