Lance Gooden, a U.S. Congressman representing Texas’ 5th district since 2019, has shared several insights and opinions on recent political developments via social media. His posts cover a range of topics from presidential cabinet confirmations to legislative transparency and local economic impacts.
On February 14, 2025, Gooden commented on the confirmation process of President Trump’s cabinet members. He stated: “One by one, President Trump’s cabinet is getting confirmed. Democrats can whine and stall, but Trump will get his cabinet in place to deliver on his promises. Nothing will stop us from making America great again! “.
The following day, February 15, he remarked on the launch of a new website by DOGE aimed at providing real-time transparency about legislation passed by Democrats under Nancy Pelosi’s leadership. Gooden noted: “DOGE has officially launched a website to provide instant and up-to-date transparency. Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats passed legislation ‘so that you can find out what is in it.'”
Later that same day, he reported on job losses within Catholic Charities in Houston as a result of policies implemented by President Trump concerning border security funding. He stated: “Catholic Charities in Houston lays off 120 employees after President Trump protects taxpayers from funding the border invasion. That’s the correct headline.”
