Senator Cynthia Lummis, representing Wyoming in the U.S. Senate, made several statements on her X (formerly Twitter) account between September 3 and September 4, 2025, criticizing Democratic actions and voicing support for former President Donald Trump’s policies.

On September 3, Lummis posted a tweet that included only a link: https://t.co/3liKHEY02T.

Later that day, she commented on federal spending under the Biden administration, stating: “The Biden administration funneled billions to their allies with zero oversight. I’m glad that President Trump is draining the swamp and terminating wasteful spending which aimed to kill Wyoming energy. This is a big WIN for the American people.” This statement reflects ongoing partisan debate over federal budget allocations and regulatory approaches to energy policy.

On September 4, Lummis addressed the pace of presidential appointments in Congress by writing: “Democrats are blocking @POTUS’ nominees at historic rates. This is not just obstruction, this is hurting the safety and prosperity of America.”

In recent years, there has been increased political contention over executive branch nominations in the U.S. Senate. Blocking or delaying presidential nominees has become more common as partisan divides have deepened in Congress. Additionally, debates over federal spending and oversight remain central issues between Republicans and Democrats, particularly regarding energy policy—a significant concern for states like Wyoming due to its large fossil fuel industry.

Senator Lummis’s remarks reflect broader Republican criticism of Democratic fiscal policies and legislative tactics in Washington.
