Rep. Dan Crenshaw, currently serving as a U.S. Congressman for Texas’ 2nd district since 2019, expressed his views on healthcare and energy policy in recent tweets dated May 13, 2025.
In one tweet, “The @EnergyCommerce Democrats want to paint us as heartless villains out to strip healthcare from children and people with disabilities. That’s simply not true. You know what’s actually cruel? Telling vulnerable families their coverage is in danger when it’s not—scaring them into”, Crenshaw addresses allegations from the Energy Commerce Democrats regarding Republican intentions on healthcare policies. He refutes claims of wanting to remove healthcare coverage from vulnerable groups and criticizes the tactic of fearmongering.
On the topic of energy policy, Crenshaw tweeted about a legislative proposal known as the Big Beautiful Bill. In his words, “The energy section of the Big Beautiful Bill includes user fees to expedite permits. Democrats say that’s ‘corruption.’ No—it’s efficiency.” He argues that implementing user fees could accelerate agency actions without relying on taxpayer funds, thereby facilitating American energy projects.
Lastly, Crenshaw shared a cryptic message stating “Interesting… Time to bring it back.” The context or subject of this remark was not specified within the tweet.
Dan Crenshaw has been active in Congress since succeeding Ted Poe in 2019 and resides in Humble, Texas. Born in Aberdeen, Scotland in 1984, he is an alumnus of Tufts University with a BA degree obtained in 2006.
