Representative Anthony D'Esposito, who has been serving New York's 4th district in the U.S. Congress since 2023, shared his views on several issues via social media posts in November 2024. His tweets addressed topics ranging from congestion pricing to systemic bias within federal agencies.

On November 18, 2024, Rep. D'Esposito criticized the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Board for approving congestion pricing at the request of Governor Kathy Hochul and Democrats. He stated, "At the behest of Governor Hochul and Democrats, the MTA Board shamefully approved Congestion Pricing." Furthermore, he urged that "Hochul and the MTA should begin cracking down on fare evaders and wasteful spending before screwing New York commuters."

The following day, November 19, Rep. D'Esposito expressed concerns about perceived bias against former President Donald Trump and his supporters within federal agencies like FEMA. He declared, "Systemic bias against President Trump and his supporters inside FEMA, or any other federal agency, is disgusting and won’t be tolerated." He promised to seek answers and ensure consequences for such actions.

Later that day, Rep. D'Esposito reiterated his stance regarding political neutrality among federal first responders by stating that their role is to serve rather than engage in politics. He emphasized this point with a tweet saying "Our federal first responders should not need to be reminded that their job is to protect and serve, not to play politics." Additionally, he called for an end to what he described as "systemic anti-Trump bias inside many federal bureaucracies."
