Congressman Michael Cloud, representing Texas' 27th district since 2018, has recently voiced concerns about government transparency and accountability through a series of tweets. Cloud's statements focus on the need for increased oversight in Washington, D.C., emphasizing his commitment to unveiling spending secrets and promoting an America-First agenda.

On February 10, 2025, Congressman Cloud expressed his views on governmental transparency. He stated that "The bureaucracy thrives on secrecy and shady deals, but transparency is the first step toward accountability." He mentioned an upcoming committee hearing aimed at exposing hidden spending practices within Washington.

Later that day, he continued his critique of unelected officials by stating that "For too long, unelected bureaucrats have acted like an unaccountable fourth branch of government—shielding themselves from oversight." Cloud highlighted the lack of transparency regarding taxpayer money allocation and the challenges Congress faces in obtaining this information.

In another tweet on February 10, Congressman Cloud addressed the American people's expectations following Donald Trump's election. He noted that "The American people voted for Donald Trump to see action—not for Congress to sit on its hands while our short window to pass his America-First agenda closes." He emphasized the role of the Freedom Caucus in proposing a plan to advance this agenda.
