Rep. Andy Ogles, U.S. Congressman representing Tennessee’s 5th district, posted a series of tweets on October 10, 2025, addressing recent legislative developments and a local tragedy.
In his first tweet at 13:39 UTC, Ogles commented on House proceedings with the message: “Should have titled it: Tim and Ted’s Excellent Adventure. I wonder where House Democrats were when we passed this thing weeks ago?”
Later that day at 19:20 UTC, he referenced government workforce changes by stating: “Russ Vought just announced massive Reductions in Force. Washington’s bloated bureaucracy is finally being gutted. Democrats shut down the government; now we’re gutting their woke pet projects.” Russ Vought previously served as Director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Trump and has been an advocate for reducing federal government size.
At 19:57 UTC, Ogles addressed a local incident affecting his constituency: “My heart is heavy after the plant explosion in Hickman County today. Please join me in praying for the victims, their families, and the entire community affected by this tragedy.” Hickman County is located within Tennessee’s 5th congressional district.
Ogles’ comments reflect ongoing debates over federal spending and administrative reforms in Washington, D.C., as well as concern for local events impacting his district.
