Jim Himes, a U.S. Congressman representing Connecticut’s 4th district since 2009, shared his thoughts on various topics through social media. His recent posts cover political queries and local community events.

On June 7, 2025, Jim Himes posed a rhetorical question regarding pardons, stating "So every single one of them will be pardoned?" The context of this query remains unspecified within the tweet itself.

Later that day, Himes reflected on a local event by sharing his enjoyment of the Fairfield County Juneteenth Day parade. He mentioned that the parade was enjoyable from beginning to end before the rain started: "The Fairfield County Juneteenth Day parade was a blast! Start to finish before the rain started!"

On June 8, 2025, he commented on the concept of free speech with a hint of skepticism or irony: "Free speech. I don’t think it means what you think it means." The precise subject or trigger for this statement is not detailed in the tweet.

Himes has represented Connecticut's 4th District since replacing Chris Shays in 2009. Born in Lima, Peru in 1966 and now residing in Cos Cob, Himes is an alumnus of Harvard University where he graduated with a BA in 1988.
