Jesús "Chuy" García, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Illinois' 4th district, has been vocal on social media about recent political developments. His tweets on March 25, 2025, address various issues ranging from foreign policy to domestic affairs.

In a tweet posted on March 25, 2025, at 17:57 UTC, García criticized the Trump Administration's handling of military operations in Yemen. He stated that "Yemen was already facing a humanitarian crisis connected to prior bombing. Then the Trump Admin leaked plans to continue strikes…on Signal." He further described these actions as both incompetent and cruel due to their lack of Congressional approval and the ongoing conflict in one of the world's poorest regions.

Later that day, at 20:21 UTC, García expressed concerns over former President Trump's policies affecting American families and communities. In his tweet, he mentioned that "Trump promised to make life more affordable, but his actions the last few weeks have done anything but that." He accused Trump of undermining children's education and immigrant communities while aligning himself with the Hispanic Federation in opposition.

On March 25, 2025, at 22:28 UTC, García turned his attention to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's labor policies. Criticizing DeSantis's approach to addressing worker shortages with anti-immigrant laws and suggesting child labor as a solution, García remarked that "DeSantis helped create worker shortages with anti-immigrant laws. Now his solution is a 'child' workforce?" He highlighted historical legislation banning child labor since 1938.
