Rep. Steven Horsford, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Nevada’s 4th district, shared insights and updates on various topics through his recent social media posts. Horsford, who has been serving in Congress since 2019 after replacing Ruben Kihuen, addressed issues ranging from economic concerns to civil rights and legislative efforts.

On February 12, 2025, Rep. Horsford highlighted the rise in inflation rates with a tweet stating: " Inflation Alert: January’s CPI jumped by 0.5%, bringing the annual rate to 3%. With rising costs in essentials like groceries and gasoline, the Fed may pause interest rate cuts amid higher prices." This statement reflects concerns about economic pressures affecting everyday Americans.

Later that day, at 18:14 UTC, he commemorated NAACP Founders Day by acknowledging its historical significance and ongoing relevance. He tweeted: "Today, we honor the legacy of the NAACP Founders Day, a movement that has fought for justice and equality since 1909. In Las Vegas, the fight continues, from economic empowerment to fair representation. Let's keep pushing forward! @naacpVegas https://t.co/OF4aKZWq7d"

At 18:30 UTC on February 12th, Rep. Horsford expressed his stance on privacy protections during legislative proceedings in a tweet saying: "I’m in the Ways & Means Committee fighting to pass critical amendments to protect Americans’ privacy. House Republicans just blocked these protections—siding with an unelected Elon Musk and his network of hackers. This is unacceptable. The fight isn’t over." His comments underscore ongoing debates regarding data privacy and corporate influence.
