Rep. Mark Alford, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Missouri's 4th district, shared a series of tweets on various topics including international relations, political decorum, and public health initiatives.

On March 5, 2025, Rep. Alford criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for his demeanor during a visit to the Oval Office. He stated: "Zelensky should not have come to the Oval Office with his hands folded and acting ungrateful, plain and simple." He further emphasized the need for accountability regarding the $100 billion of taxpayer dollars provided to Ukraine and called for clarity on what victory would entail.

The following day, March 6, 2025, Rep. Alford addressed the importance of maintaining decorum in political discourse regardless of party affiliation. He remarked: "We should never break decorum for any President, whether Republican or Democrat, even if you don't like what he or she is saying." He also highlighted a recent CBS report indicating a high approval rating for the President's speech.

Later that same day, Rep. Alford expressed support for promoting healthy lifestyles through legislative measures. He announced: "America should be incentivized to live a healthy lifestyle. GusNIP is an easy way to do that." He noted his pride in reintroducing the SHOPP Act alongside colleagues @RepJasmine and @RepJahanaHayes.
