U.S. Congressman Scott Perry, representing Pennsylvania's 10th district, shared several thoughts on April 1, 2025, highlighting his perspectives on judicial matters, federal spending, and economic impacts in Pennsylvania. Perry, who has been serving in Congress since 2013, took to social media to express his views on the federal fiscal policy and regional economic development.

In his first tweet of the day, Perry succinctly wrote “Judicial Insurrection.” This post, made at 15:08:49 UTC, suggests a pointed critique, though further details were not provided in the tweet.

Less than an hour later, Perry expressed concern over federal spending cuts. In a tweet timestamped at 16:28:23 UTC, he remarked, "So far, it doesn’t seem the Senate is serious about spending cuts in the big Reconciliation package. Reports say it’s only willing to cut a paltry $3 billion from the federal budget - that’s an insulting NOGO. We’re $36 TRILLION IN DEBT. The House proposed a $1.5 TRILLION." This statement highlights his dissatisfaction with the Senate's approach to budget adjustments amidst the national debt crisis.

Later, Perry turned his focus to local economic issues, emphasizing potential benefits from reopening the Three Mile Island nuclear facility. In a tweet shared at 16:48:58 UTC, he reported on a discussion with Neil Chilson, Head of AI Policy at the Abundance Institute: "WATCH: I asked Neil Chilson, Head of AI Policy / Abundance Institute, about the economic impact on Pennsylvanians of reopening Three Mile Island in Middletown. It will: •Create 3400 new jobs; •Generate over $3B in state and federal taxes; and •Add $16B to PA GDP." This tweet sheds light on the anticipated economic benefits for the state if the plant resumes operation.
