Beth Van Duyne, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Texas’ 24th district, has shared several updates on social media regarding recent governmental efforts and initiatives. Van Duyne, who replaced Kenny Marchant in 2021, is an active political figure with a background from Cornell University and resides in Irving.

On March 17, 2025, Van Duyne announced significant news via Twitter regarding environmental policy changes under new leadership at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). She stated "Great news!! Under @epaleezeldin, the EPA has launched its largest deregulatory effort in American history."

Later that day, she criticized Democratic opposition to certain fiscal reforms. In her tweet at 19:05 UTC, she remarked on bipartisan efforts to address inefficiencies within government spending. She tweeted "It is incredible that Democrats refuse to support the elimination of waste, fraud, and abuse! On the @DOGE Caucus, we’re working with @elonmusk and the @WhiteHouse to clean up the mess created by decades of bureaucratic bloat and grift."

Additionally, Van Duyne commented on immigration policies through technological means. At 21:27 UTC on March 17th, she mentioned an application aimed at facilitating self-deportation for undocumented immigrants with a potential path for legal return. Her statement read "The CBP app gives illegal aliens an easy option to self deport and leave America now! If you do so, you may have the opportunity to legally return in the future."
