Morgan McGarvey, a U.S. Congressman representing Kentucky's 3rd district since 2023, recently expressed his concerns on social media regarding several pressing issues. His tweets addressed topics such as the handling of sensitive government data and the economic impact of tariffs. McGarvey, who succeeded John Yarmuth in Congress and previously served in both the Kentucky House of Representatives and Senate, continues to advocate for his constituents.

On February 3, 2025, McGarvey voiced apprehension about an "unelected billionaire" managing sensitive government data and influencing Social Security benefits. He stated: "My constituents are scared. An unelected billionaire has no business handling our sensitive government data and making decisions about our Social Security benefits." He urged bipartisan action by stating that "House Democrats are doing everything we can to prevent this — House Republicans need to step up too."

Later that day, McGarvey commented on the economic implications of tariffs in another tweet: "Tariffs are taxes — guess who's paying? American families and workers." He called for cooperation across party lines while urging the Trump Administration to reconsider its stance on tariffs before further economic damage occurs.
