Lance Gooden U.S. House of Representatives from Texas's 5th district | Official U.S. House Headshot
In a series of tweets, Lance Gooden, a U.S. Congressman representing Texas’ 5th District since 2019, commented on various national issues. Gooden has been vocal about several political topics, sharing his views through social media on recent developments.
On April 5, 2025, Gooden expressed his concerns about the impact of foreign trade practices on American jobs. He asserted, "Millions of hardworking Americans have lost their jobs due to the unfair trade practices of foreign nations." He criticized the response of the Democratic Party, summarizing it as, "We don't care."
The following day, April 6, 2025, Gooden tweeted a brief message accompanied by a link, "Texans voted for this. https://t.co/KpjmfItwAe". The context of this tweet is not immediately clear without the referenced link, but it suggests an ongoing discussion about the political choices of Texan voters.
On April 7, 2025, Gooden raised concerns about the number of nationwide injunctions affecting the Trump administration. He noted, "There have been 127 nationwide injunctions issued since 1963. 15 injunctions were issued against the Trump Administration in February alone. Activist judges must be stopped." This highlights his stance against judicial interventions that he perceives as potentially obstructive to governmental policies.
