Senator Eric Schmitt, representing Missouri in the U.S. Senate, posted a series of tweets on October 1 and 2, 2025, addressing issues ranging from local infrastructure to national politics.
On October 1, Schmitt celebrated new developments at St. Louis Lambert International Airport. He wrote, "This is great news for St. Louis and our surrounding communities! Opening new routes at Lambert International Airport helps connect Missourians and brings visitors to the Show Me State."
Later that day, Schmitt commented on crime policies in major U.S. cities, attributing rising chaos to Democratic leadership. He stated on his social media account: "Democrats' soft-on-crime policies have fueled chaos in cities like Kansas City. Cities across America could learn something from President Trump's crackdown in DC."
On October 2, as a government shutdown began, Schmitt criticized Senate Democrats for their handling of the situation. He tweeted: "Day one of the Schumer Shutdown: Democrats continue to choose petty politics over the American people."
St. Louis Lambert International Airport serves as a key transportation hub for Missouri and regularly announces new routes to improve connectivity within the region and attract more visitors.
Debates about crime policy remain prominent in American political discourse, with contrasting approaches between parties regarding law enforcement strategies and criminal justice reform.
The term "Schumer Shutdown" refers to instances when Senator Chuck Schumer and other Democratic leaders are blamed by opponents for government funding lapses during budget negotiations.
