Rep. Eric Burlison, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Missouri’s 7th district, has shared a series of tweets addressing various topics. Rep. Burlison succeeded Billy Long in 2023 and has a background in the Missouri House of Representatives and Senate.
On March 17, 2025, Rep. Burlison commented on the recent decline in egg prices over three consecutive weeks. He noted that prices have decreased by $2.70 in just the last week, attributing this change to President Trump’s policies with the statement: “Egg prices have just fallen for the third straight week in a row! Down $2.70 in just the last week. President Trump is making breakfast great again!”
Later that day, he expressed his appreciation for certain aesthetic elements without providing specific context or details about what he was referring to: “The lighting, the music, the depth of field…perfect, no notes.”
In another tweet posted on March 17, 2025, Rep. Burlison raised concerns about Medicaid reimbursement rates for able-bodied adults. He argued that these rates could incentivize healthcare providers to discriminate against vulnerable groups such as disabled individuals, single mothers, and infants: “Higher Medicaid reimbursement rates for able-bodied adults are a problem. They give healthcare providers explicit financial incentive to discriminate against the disabled, single mothers, and infants.”
