Senator John Barrasso recently shared a series of tweets on July 10, 2025, addressing both celebratory and political topics. The Wyoming senator took to social media to commemorate an important milestone for his state and also commented on federal spending powers and a new legislative achievement.

In his first tweet, Senator Barrasso marked the anniversary of Wyoming’s statehood with the message: “Today, we honor 135 incredible years since our founding as the Cowboy State on July 10, 1890. Join me in celebrating #WyomingDay!” This post was made at 16:25 UTC.

Later that day, at 17:53 UTC, he turned his attention to federal fiscal authority with a pointed statement regarding congressional powers: “Congress controls federal spending. The power of the purse belongs to Congress. It does not belong to unelected district court judges with a gavel and a grudge.”

Finally, Senator Barrasso expressed optimism about recent legislative progress in another tweet posted at 19:49 UTC. He stated: “In Wyoming people are thrilled @potus singed the One Big Beautiful Bill into law. It’s going to fulfill our promise to make America safe and prosperous again. America is getting back on track.”

The “One Big Beautiful Bill,” mentioned by Senator Barrasso, refers to legislation aimed at enhancing national security and economic prosperity through various measures.
