Congressman Dwight Evans, representing Pennsylvania's 3rd district, recently shared his views on significant political issues through a series of tweets. His posts touched upon healthcare policy, historical civil rights events, and potential government shutdowns.

On March 7, 2025, Congressman Evans expressed concern over recent legislative actions by House Republicans. He stated that "Last week, almost every single House Republican voted to gut Medicaid and take away critical care from people like Katie from Northwest Philly." He further mentioned discussing the impact of these cuts with Kathy, Katie's mother. "Original quotation"

The following day, March 8, 2025, Evans commemorated the anniversary of "Bloody Sunday," a pivotal event in the civil rights movement. He noted that "60 years ago, 600 freedom fighters were violently attacked on 'Bloody Sunday' in Alabama as they marched for voting rights and equality for ALL." Emphasizing the ongoing relevance of this struggle, he highlighted his participation with House Democratic colleagues in related efforts. "Original quotation"

Later on March 8th, Evans addressed concerns about an impending federal government funding deadline. He criticized Republican leadership for not collaborating with Democrats to prevent a potential shutdown: "In just one week, funding for the federal government runs out... Instead of working with House Democrats, Republicans continue to raise the risk of a wider government shutdown." He pointed out that despite controlling both houses and the presidency, Republicans were pursuing what he described as hyper-partisan agendas. "Original quotation"
