Rep. Mark Alford, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Missouri’s 4th district since 2023, recently posted a series of tweets addressing congressional activities and national security funding.

On July 21, 2025, Alford acknowledged the participation of another congressional leader by stating, "Thanks for joining us, @GOPMajorityWhip!"

The following day, July 22, 2025, Alford commented on federal budget priorities related to foreign affairs and national security: "This is exactly why our @HouseAppropsGOP National Security, State, and Related Programs bill defunds the rogue State Department bureaucracy with a 22% overall funding cut and supports @SecRubio's reorganization efforts."
