Brian Mast, a U.S. Congressman representing Florida's 21st District since 2017, has recently shared his views on various issues through social media. Mast, who succeeded Patrick Murphy in Congress and holds a BA from Harvard University Extension School, frequently uses his platform to express opinions on political matters.

On March 19, 2025, Rep. Brian Mast criticized Chuck Schumer in a tweet for allegedly mocking hardworking Americans. He questioned the direction of the Democratic Party by stating: "Yep, that’s Chuck Schumer mocking hard working Americans who just want to keep more of the money THEY EARN. Is this really what the Democrat party has come to?"

The following day, on March 20, 2025, Mast highlighted an economic development involving a furniture manufacturer. He announced via Twitter: "The wins keep coming. Furniture manufacturer, Prepac, is shutting down its operations in Canada and moving all of its production to its NC facility." This move signifies an industrial shift favoring North Carolina's economy.

Later that same day, he commented on border security improvements by sharing statistical data about border crossings and criminal activity reductions. In his tweet he stated: “For the first time since the government began reporting monthly figures in early 2022, Border Patrol agents detected no crossings by people on the terrorist watch list…The number of migrants with known criminal records detected also fell.” He suggested that these results were due to effective messaging efforts.
