Steven Horsford, a U.S. Congressman representing Nevada’s 4th district since 2019, has recently taken to social media to express his concerns regarding several pressing issues. His tweets focus on data privacy breaches and the potential risks facing Social Security and Medicaid.

On February 18, 2025, Horsford tweeted about a significant data breach involving IRS and Social Security information. He attributed this breach to "Musk and his hackers," describing it as the largest ever recorded. Horsford emphasized that personal data should remain private and not be accessible to "unelected and unaccountable billionaires." "This is serious..."

Later the same day, Horsford addressed the importance of Social Security in another tweet. He stated that it serves as a critical lifeline for over 71 million Americans and insisted that its integrity must be protected from political interference or unnecessary access. "Social Security is not a bargaining chip..."

In a subsequent post on February 18, 2025, Horsford highlighted concerns regarding potential cuts to Medicaid services in Nevada's 4th district, which he represents. He warned that such cuts could lead to reduced coverage for families, fewer doctors accepting Medicaid patients, and increased healthcare costs. Horsford urged constituents to oppose these proposed changes by voicing their opposition to the GOP's plans. "Medicaid is on the line! "
