Jim Himes, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Connecticut's 4th district, expressed his views on recent issues via a series of tweets. Himes, who succeeded Chris Shays in 2009, has been vocal on social media, addressing concerns related to financial management and national security.
In a tweet posted on April 4, 2025, Himes drew attention to the potential mismanagement of retirement accounts and its implications for national security. He questioned the competence of those involved, saying: "Care to guess whether the people who obliterated your retirement accounts this week are being competent about protecting our national security? Maybe check with Jeff Goldberg or Laura Loomer?”
On April 5, 2025, he commented on what he perceives as unserious behavior from certain individuals or groups, simply stating, "These are very unserious people."
Later that day, Himes drew attention to political rallies occurring in Connecticut. He highlighted public sentiment against monarchical systems of governance by stating, "Huge Hands Off rallies in Greenwich, Stamford and Westport. The people of this country will abide no kings."
