In a tweet posted at 15:32 UTC, Rep. Owens criticized AmeriCorps for what he described as "government waste," citing "8 failed audits" and a "$120M budget increase." He urged the public to follow an upcoming hearing by the Education and Workforce Committee to address these concerns.
At 15:46 UTC, Owens commented on President Trump's nomination of Harmeet Dhillon (@pnjaban) as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights. He suggested that elite universities allowing antisemitic behavior should be concerned about this appointment, emphasizing that "accountability is coming."
