Rep. Eric Burlison, who represents Missouri’s 7th district in the U.S. Congress, shared a series of posts on September 25, 2025, highlighting economic development in Southwest Missouri and expressing his views on national political dynamics.

In a post published at 13:56 UTC, Burlison welcomed Hobie to Missouri and praised Johnny Morris for contributing to regional growth: "Welcome to the Show-Me State, Hobie. Johnny Morris continues to put Southwest Missouri in a prime spot for growth. Incredible. This is AMERICA FIRST. https://t.co/PD8Q08sTii"

Later that day at 14:42 UTC, he commented on potential political shifts following what he referred to as a "Schumer Shutdown," referencing Russ Vought and ongoing partisan tensions: "If you think Democrats are in a frenzy now, just wait until a free-market conservative like @WHOMB Russ Vought takes control after a potential Schumer Shutdown. The Swamp won't know what hit it. https://t.co/iLIQGcbgJm"

At 17:00 UTC, Burlison posted concerns about systemic issues affecting Americans’ well-being and cited commentary from Casey Means MD and Calley Means: "America is being poisoned, and it’s not by accident. This is a deliberate system of control. @CaseyMeansMD and @calleymeans broke it down months ago on @TuckerCarlson. https://t.co/Aawoia15fN"
