Rep. Steven Horsford, a U.S. Congress member representing Nevada's 4th district since 2019, has recently shared several updates on his Twitter account regarding significant political events. Horsford, who succeeded Ruben Kihuen and previously served in the Nevada Senate from 2009 to 2013, often uses his platform to comment on national matters.

On March 5, 2025, Rep. Horsford tweeted about a federal judge's decision "Day 4: A federal judge blocked Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship, calling it 'blatantly unconstitutional.' John Ratcliffe confirmed as CIA Director." This post highlights the judicial rejection of an executive attempt to alter birthright citizenship laws and notes the confirmation of John Ratcliffe as CIA Director.

In another tweet posted shortly after on the same day, he addressed personnel changes within the government: "Day 5: Trump fired 15 inspectors general in a late-night purge—clearing watchdogs overseeing gov’t fraud." The statement refers to a significant reduction in oversight roles by then-President Trump.

Further commenting on this action, Horsford wrote "Day 6: Trump defended his mass firing of gov’t watchdogs, calling it 'very common.' He went to Vegas to speak on his 'so called' tips bill." The tweet indicates Trump's defense of these dismissals and mentions his visit to Las Vegas for a speech regarding a proposed legislative measure related to tipping practices.
