André Carson, a U.S. Congressman representing Indiana's 7th district, has recently shared his perspectives on various political issues through a series of tweets. His statements reflect his concerns over healthcare, immigration policies, and educational reforms under the current administration.

On March 20, 2025, Carson addressed the potential impact of Medicaid cuts on Healthnet in Indianapolis. He emphasized the importance of maintaining quality healthcare services and stated that "Medicaid cuts would be devastating to their work." He also mentioned meeting with Healthnet leaders to ensure accessible healthcare for all residents.

Later that day, Carson expressed his disapproval of the Trump administration's narrative linking immigrants to crime rates as a pretext for mass deportation. He criticized efforts to defund Social Security by falsely accusing immigrants of fraud, asserting that "I’ve been warning how the Trump administration makes false claims about immigrants and crime rates to justify mass deportation."

On March 21, 2025, Carson responded to President Trump's proposal regarding the Department of Education. He stated firmly that "President Trump cannot abolish the Department of Education without Congressional approval." Carson declared his intention to vote against any attempts perceived as detrimental to teachers and communities.
