Congressman Michael Cloud, representing Texas' 27th district, has shared his views and intentions through a series of tweets. His social media activity reflects his stance on educational institutions, personal freedoms, readiness to work, and political priorities concerning national security and government spending.

On February 6, 2025, Congressman Cloud addressed the issue of freedom of speech in academic settings. He expressed hope that higher education institutions will protect individuals like Riley Gaines from censorship when they are "exercising their First Amendment rights." "About time our institutions of “higher” education ‘followed the science’. Now, if they can just protect people like @Riley_Gaines_ from the censorship mob when on campus exercising their First Amendment rights, then we'll be getting somewhere."

In a subsequent tweet on February 7, 2025, Cloud conveyed his eagerness to begin working with enthusiasm. "Ready to get to work "

Later that day, he emphasized his commitment to an America-first agenda while expressing concerns about government growth and fiscal policies. He stated these issues are intertwined with national security challenges such as border control. "We’ve got to support the America-first agenda, and we've got to cut back on the growth of government. We are headed toward a fiscal cliff, which is as much a national security issue as our open borders and many other challenges we face as a nation."
