Gerry Connolly, a U.S. Congressman representing Virginia's 11th district since 2009, has expressed concerns on social media regarding various political issues. His tweets address topics such as privacy, whistleblower protection, and government actions under former President Trump.

On February 18, 2025, Connolly criticized former President Donald Trump for allegedly attempting to keep his financial information private while allowing "an unelected, unaccountable billionaire" access to citizens' personal data. He described this as "an unprecedented invasion of your privacy."

Later that day, Connolly emphasized the importance of whistleblowers in maintaining democracy. He encouraged federal employees who witness constitutional violations or rights infringements to "blow the whistle."

On February 19, 2025, Connolly condemned Trump's actions for endangering American lives by neglecting a foreign service worker and his pregnant wife facing health complications abroad. He described the situation as "utterly shameful."
