Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Florida’s 13th district, shared her views on various topics through a series of tweets on January 30, 2025.

In a tweet posted at 17:08 UTC, Rep. Luna highlighted the operational scale of the FAA, noting that it “handles OVER 16 MILLION flights yearly.” She emphasized that hiring decisions should not be influenced by factors such as race, sex, or religion.

Later that day at 18:19 UTC, Luna quoted Kash Patel regarding public trust and transparency. Patel stated that “the public trust can only be restored if there is full transparency,” committing to ensuring swift and complete responses to Congressional inquiries if confirmed in his role. Luna expressed support for this commitment by stating that “the American people deserve nothing less!” “.@Kash_Patel: ‘ The public trust can only be restored…'”

Adam Schiff in Congress as an example of accountability using the pronoun “we.” She mentioned that “‘We’ censured you in Congress for being a liar and deceiving the American people,” expressing confidence that similar accountability would prevail again with a call to confirm Kash Patel. “Here’s one example of the usage of the word ‘we’ for @SenAdamSchiff…”
