Congressman Dwight Evans took to social media on April 16, 2025, to express his views on various socio-political topics. Evans, who represents Pennsylvania’s 3rd district, shared his thoughts on issues such as national security leaks, social security measures, and child tax credits.

In a tweet posted at 17:38, Evans commented on the issue of leaks within the administration, questioning whether they are only permissible when coming from specific high-ranking officials, such as the defense secretary or national security adviser. "Apparently leaks are only OK in the Trump administration when they come from the defense secretary or national security adviser?" He reiterated his demand for a special counsel to investigate what he refers to as #Signalgate, as well as calling for the dismissal of Hegseth and Waltz.

Later that day at 18:16, Evans announced his plan to introduce the Claws Off Social Security Act, aiming to protect seniors from what he termed President Trump’s harsh clawback policy. "ICYMI: I’m introducing the Claws Off Social Security Act this week to protect seniors from President Trump’s new harsh clawback policy." He expressed gratitude towards @StandardUptown for highlighting his legislative effort.

In a subsequent tweet at 20:53, Evans discussed the expansion of the Child Tax Credit in 2021, claiming it significantly reduced child poverty. He criticized Republican opposition, which led to the expiration of these benefits, while expressing support for renewing the program. "When Democrats expanded the Child Tax Credit in 2021, we cut child poverty in HALF, lifting millions of kids out of poverty." He recounted his participation in a rally with community members advocating for the initiative's reinstatement.

Dwight Evans is currently serving in the U.S. Congress, representing Pennsylvania’s 3rd district.
