Later that day, Burlison raised concerns regarding the investigation into the attempted assassination of former President Trump. He wrote: "It’s been a FULL YEAR since the attempted assassination of President Trump… and we still know NOTHING about Thomas Crooks. No manifesto. No background. No motive. No real answers."
On July 15, 2025, Burlison criticized the Department of Education (DOE), calling for its dissolution and increased parental control over education decisions: "The DOE doesn’t educate kids. It funds failure and fuels indoctrination. Time to END this federal disaster and put parents back in charge."
