Congressman Byron Donalds, representing Florida’s 19th district, has been active in discussing legislative matters and fiscal policies on social media. His recent tweets address key issues such as the Bipartisan Value Over Cost Act and federal spending decisions.

On February 10, 2025, Congressman Donalds shared information about H.R. 1118 – The Bipartisan Value Over Cost Act. He provided a link to the full text of the bill and attached relevant documents for public access. "To read the full text of H.R. 1118 – The Bipartisan Value Over Cost Act..."

In another tweet on the same day, Congressman Donalds expressed gratitude towards Representative Moskowitz for supporting the bill. He highlighted its previous successes in passing various committees and its unanimous passage in the House during the last Congress but noted that it was blocked from a Senate vote. Donalds is optimistic about its progress in the current Congress. "Thank you @RepMoskowitz for your support of this bill..."

Later that day, Donalds criticized FEMA's expenditure of $59 million on luxury hotels in New York City for housing undocumented immigrants. He argued that these funds should have been allocated to aid communities affected by hurricanes across several states including Florida and Georgia. Donalds emphasized prioritizing American citizens' needs over what he perceives as wasteful spending. ".@FEMA spent $59M on luxury hotels in NYC to house illegal aliens."
