Brian Babin, a current member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 36th district, actively shares his views on social media. These comments reflect his political perspectives and support for educational institutions in his home state. Babin has been a congressman since 2015, having succeeded Steve Stockman, and he continues to address national and local issues through various platforms.

On April 18, 2025, Babin questioned the actions of President Biden concerning border wall funding. He remarked on a judicial decision regarding President Trump and congressional funding: "If this federal judge says Trump can’t unilaterally kill congressionally approved funding, how did Biden get away with ending border wall funding?".

Later that same day, Babin extended congratulations to San Jacinto College, acknowledging its recognition by the Aspen Institute. He commented on its achievement by stating: "Congratulations to @SanJacCollege for being named a Finalist with Distinction for the 2025 @AspenInstitute Prize, officially one of the TOP 3 community colleges in the entire nation!" He praised the institution for its excellence in education and workforce training.

On April 19, 2025, Babin expressed concern over acts of violence related to political extremism. He referred to recent events including attempts on the life of former President Trump and a state governor, stating: "Two attempts to assassinate Trump. A governor and his family nearly killed. Businesses and cars set on fire." Babin attributed these acts to left-wing extremism and criticized legacy media coverage, suggesting it would be downplayed as “mostly peaceful” protests.

Brian Babin, born in Port Arthur, Texas, in 1948 and residing in Woodville, has served in the U.S. Congress since 2015. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Lamar University, obtained in 1973.
