Rep. Mark Alford, who represents Missouri’s 4th district in the U.S. Congress, posted a series of messages on August 15, 2025, addressing both foreign policy and legislative matters.
In his first post, Alford marked the anniversary of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan: "A somber anniversary: four years ago today, the Biden-Harris administration’s disastrous withdrawal handed Afghanistan to the Taliban. This tragedy weakened America’s standing and cost countless lives. Our troops deserve answers. @HouseGOP & @POTUS will hold Biden-Harris" (August 15, 2025).
Later that day, Alford commented on ongoing appropriations work in Congress under Chairman Tom Cole: "Under the leadership of Chairman @TomColeOK04, @HouseAppropsGOP is fighting to return to regular order and fiscal responsibility. We’ve gotten the vast majority of the 12 bills out of committee, and while we may need a short term CR to finish our work—we’ll get the job done." (August 15, 2025).
He also shared a third post containing only a link: "https://t.co/PHEsXejVeB" (August 15, 2025).
