Morgan McGarvey, currently serving in the U.S. Congress for Kentucky's 3rd District, composed a series of concerned tweets on March 26, 2025, regarding healthcare policies and actions undermining veteran history. As a representative active in advocating for healthcare and veteran affairs, McGarvey shared strong opinions on recent political maneuvers and collaborations.

In a post at 19:52 UTC, McGarvey emphasized the potential negative impacts of altering Medicaid, noting that "1 in 3 Kentuckians rely on Medicaid" and highlighted the detrimental effects such alterations could have on vulnerable populations. He was critical of the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress, stating that their actions reflect a disregard for taking away healthcare from veterans, people with disabilities, and vulnerable children. He summarized the situation as "wrong."

Later on the same day, at 21:00 UTC, McGarvey expressed gratitude towards colleagues by acknowledging the partnership of the Veteran Affairs Democrats Ranking Member, Rep. Mark Takano, in joint efforts concerning veterans' affairs.

Additionally, McGarvey criticized an action by the Trump administration in a tweet posted simultaneously at 21:00 UTC. He condemned the removal of historical information pertinent to significant groups such as the Navajo Code Talkers, Jackie Robinson, and Black, Hispanic, and women veterans, describing the action as disrespectful and beyond censorship. McGarvey prominently led an initiative demanding the restoration of these records.
