Rep. Hank Johnson, a current member of the U.S. Congress representing Georgia’s 4th district, expressed his views on various issues through a series of tweets. Johnson, who has been in office since 2007, shared his thoughts on the importance of judicial independence, transit investments, and student loan relief.

On April 8, 2025, Rep. Hank Johnson emphasized the role of the judiciary in checking presidential powers. He stated, "It is essential to our democracy that the Courts can serve as a check on a President that is trampling people’s rights, which this President is famous for. We cannot allow for justice to be so delayed that it is denied."

Addressing concerns over transit funding cuts on April 9, 2025, Johnson remarked, "Cutting transit investments will slow progress, raise unemployment, and send the dangerous message that some people simply don’t matter. It’s time to stop taking from working class Americans and start giving them the future they deserve."

Later on April 9, 2025, Johnson commented on the judiciary's role in student loan relief and presidential actions, expressing his displeasure with perceived judicial inconsistencies. He tweeted, "When judges stop student loan relief...*crickets. When they stop an egomaniac president from destroying our country and economy...BAD."
