Congressman Michael Cloud, who represents Texas’ 27th district in the U.S. Congress, shared his views on various issues through a series of tweets on February 5, 2025. Known for his strong stance on government policies, Cloud highlighted topics such as dismantling DEI initiatives, federal agency oversight, and support for women's sports.

On February 5, 2025, Congressman Cloud advocated for the passage of the Dismantle DEI Act to align with President Trump's agenda. He emphasized that this legislation would aim to eliminate race-based hiring quotas and DEI offices within the federal government. Additionally, it seeks to halt federal funding for divisive training sessions. "Congress must pass the Dismantle DEI Act—to codify President Trump’s agenda into law and permanently end DEI in the federal government."

In another tweet posted later that day, Congressman Cloud expressed concern over the longevity and influence of federal agencies. Quoting President Reagan's remark about agencies having an eternal life-like existence on Earth, he underscored a need to control these entities that might act independently of elected officials' intentions. "The need to rein in federal agencies has never been clearer."

Further extending his support for women's rights in sports and personal spaces, Congressman Cloud commended Riley Gaines for her advocacy efforts. He praised her courage in fighting for fairness and privacy in women's sports despite ongoing challenges."Thank you, @Riley_Gaines_, for standing up for women’s sports..."
