Eric Burlison, a representative currently serving in the U.S. Congress for Missouri's 7th district, is known for sharing his thoughts on significant national issues on social media. He has recently made three statements on various topics, ranging from constitutional interpretation to fiscal policy and historic investigations.

On March 31, 2025, Burlison reminded the public about the Second Amendment, emphasizing, "Daily reminder that's there’s no mention of 'sporting purposes' in the Second Amendment." With this tweet, Burlison directed attention to the often-discussed interpretations of the Second Amendment.

On April 1, 2025, Burlison commented on a recent fiscal development in Congress, stating, "Last month, the House passed a budget blueprint for reconciliation, cutting $2 trillion in spending over a decade. If politicians were serious about the national debt, $2 trillion would be the bare minimum." Through this statement, he underlined concerns about government spending and national debt.

Later that same day, Burlison addressed an issue surrounding historical governmental transparency. Referring to revelations about the JFK assassination, he tweeted, "Three top CIA officials lied to JFK assassination investigators. 'One of the most significant revelations to come out of this.' @jeffersonmorley" This comment draws attention to ongoing discussions about intelligence agency integrity and historical analysis.
