Rep. Becca Balint, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Vermont’s at-large district, shared a series of tweets on February 5, 2025, expressing her concerns over various political and social issues. Her statements touched upon topics such as financial control, healthcare programs, and authoritarianism.
In a tweet posted on February 5, 2025, Rep. Balint questioned Elon Musk's intentions regarding financial control: "Why does Elon want control over the treasury? FOLLOW THE MONEY. This isn’t about us. It’s about them lining their pockets." She further stated her determination to fight against Musk's influence: "We’re going to fight until he's out of the Treasury. Out of our bank. Out of our data. Out of our government."
Later that day, Rep. Balint addressed potential changes to key healthcare programs with a warning: "If you mess with Medicare and Medicaid, you are messing with the health of tens of millions of Americans." She emphasized that any such actions would not be accepted quietly.
In another post from February 5, she highlighted the dangers posed by authoritarian regimes: "Authoritarians win when we stop paying attention."
