He emphasized the readiness of American military forces by adding, "Congress can’t tie President Trump’s hands. If he decides to cut the head off the snake, I can assure you—our B-2s and airmen at Whiteman AFB are ready, capable, and lethal."

Later that day, he announced an upcoming communication effort with constituents through an e-newsletter. In his words from a tweet posted at 21:00 UTC: "New E-Newsletter coming to you today, recapping our in-district work period this week! You won’t want to miss it." He encouraged followers to subscribe for updates.

In another post made at 21:30 UTC on the same day, Rep. Alford highlighted legislative priorities with enthusiasm about what he termed as "The One, Big Beautiful Bill." He tweeted: "The One, Big Beautiful Bill locks in @POTUS’ tax cuts, unleashes American energy, and delivers historic border security! Time for the Senate to get it passed."
