Rep. Keith Self, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, posted a series of tweets on October 15, 2025, commenting on the ongoing government shutdown and legislative actions in Congress.
In a tweet published at 12:32 p.m. UTC, Self stated, “It’s Day 15 of the Democrat Shutdown. @HouseGOP did our jobs to keep the government open and passed a clean CR. It’s time for Senate Democrats to do the same.” The message emphasized his position that House Republicans have acted to avoid a shutdown and called on Senate Democrats to follow suit.
Later that day, at 1:08 p.m. UTC, Self shared a post containing only a link: “https://t.co/AQyKP1opIa”. No additional context was provided within the tweet itself.
At 1:49 p.m. UTC, Self commented positively on an unspecified proposal by posting, “This is a great idea! Hope to see it implemented X-wide! https://t.co/emt2kZtEMg”
Rep. Keith Self was re-elected in both 2022 and 2024, defeating Sandeep Srivastava in each general election. In 2024, Self won with approximately 62.5% of the vote compared to Srivastava’s 37.6%. In the previous cycle in 2022, he secured victory with about 60.5% of the vote while Srivastava received roughly 36.9%. These electoral outcomes reflect consistent support for Self within his district over consecutive terms.
The tweets from Rep. Self reflect ongoing partisan disagreement regarding responsibility for government funding lapses and underscore broader debates over legislative strategy between chambers of Congress.
