Congressman Michael Cloud, representing Texas' 27th district since 2018, has recently shared a series of tweets addressing federal spending, military policies, and the FBI's role in the events of January 6. Cloud has been vocal about his views on government efficiency and national security.

On December 11, 2024, Congressman Cloud criticized federal agencies for overspending and overreaching in authority. He stated that under a potential Trump presidency with a GOP majority, "Republicans will need to take tough votes to cut wasteful spending and get us back on track."

Later that day, he commented on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), describing it as "a step toward restoring our armed forces by rejecting the woke agenda and refocusing on military readiness." He noted specific provisions such as banning TRICARE coverage for sex-change surgeries for minors and authorizing National Guard deployments to secure the southern border. The original tweet is available here.

On December 12, 2024, Congressman Cloud addressed allegations regarding the FBI's involvement in January 6 events. He remarked that individuals questioning the FBI’s role were previously labeled as “conspiracy theorists.” However, he asserted that it is now known there were "26 confidential informants at the Capitol that day—4 of whom entered the building."
