John Kennedy, U.S. Senator representing Louisiana, posted a series of tweets on November 19 and 20, 2025, addressing various political figures and issues.
On November 19, Kennedy commented on Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s public persona, stating: “When you scratch the surface of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, you get more surface. She’s a creation of the media.”
The following day, he made a lighthearted remark about Senator Ted Cruz: “Cruz is a good sport, but he still hasn’t denied the rumor that he can burp the alphabet backwards.” This tweet was posted on November 20.
Later that same day, Kennedy addressed economic concerns facing American families and questioned congressional priorities: “When moms and dads lie down to sleep at night and can’t, they’re worried about the cost of living. So why isn’t Congress working on another reconciliation bill to help them? It would be a 12-piece bucket of STUPID not to.”
Senator John Kennedy has served in the U.S. Senate since 2017 and is known for his direct communication style both in legislative sessions and on social media platforms.
Reconciliation bills are legislative measures in Congress that allow certain budget-related bills to bypass the Senate filibuster with a simple majority vote. These bills have been used in recent years for significant policy changes related to healthcare and economic relief (https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/RL/98-814).
Ongoing concerns over inflation and rising costs have remained central topics in American politics throughout recent years as families continue to experience increased expenses for basic goods and services.
