Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne, who represents Texas’s 24th congressional district, posted a series of updates on her official X account regarding border security, veteran commendations, and Social Security policy.
On August 16, 2025, Van Duyne commented on border security under the Trump administration. She wrote, “Encounters at our Southwest border have plummeted since President @realDonaldTrump has taken office.

Later that day, she announced the opening of applications for a local veterans’ recognition program. In her post dated August 16, 2025, Van Duyne stated, “Applications for the 2025 Congressional Veteran Commendation are now OPEN!
