Senator Eric Schmitt, who represents Missouri in the U.S. Senate, shared a series of posts on July 29 and 30, 2025, addressing topics ranging from taxpayer advocacy to military operations and political appointments.

On July 29, Schmitt expressed gratitude for recognition from the National Taxpayers Union, stating: "Thank you @NTU for the “Taxpayer Defender of the Month” award! I'll keep fighting to protect Missourians' hard-earned tax dollars from Washington's wasteful spending habits."

Later that day, he commented on a recent military operation involving personnel from Whiteman Air Force Base: "The B-2 pilots & support crew from @Whiteman_AFB executed Operation Midnight Hammer with precision, coordination, and overwhelming force. They crippled Iran's nuclear program. These men and women are the best of the best, and I was proud to thank them for their service today."

On July 30, Schmitt addressed delays in confirming presidential nominees: "Despite unprecedented obstruction from Chuck Schumer and the Democrats, we will get President Trump’s nominees confirmed one way or another."

Senator Schmitt has previously positioned himself as an advocate for fiscal responsibility and national security. The National Taxpayers Union is a nonprofit organization that recognizes public officials who promote policies aimed at reducing government spending and protecting taxpayers’ interests. Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri is home to the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber unit and frequently participates in high-profile military operations.
