In a tweet posted at 00:29:40 UTC, Rep. Ogles commented on the closure of PBS's DEI office, attributing the decision to former President Trump. He stated: "Thanks to President Trump, PBS is closing its DEI office."

Later that day at 01:19:06 UTC, Rep. Ogles announced the introduction of the BOWSER Act alongside Sen. Mike Lee. The legislation aims to repeal DC Home Rule in response to increasing violent crime rates and perceived inaction by Mayor Bowser. He explained his position by stating: ".@SenMikeLee and I introduced the BOWSER Act to repeal the DC Home Rule and restore safety to our nation’s capital—and this is exactly why."
