Matt Maddock, a member of the Michigan House of Representatives, posted several statements on his X (formerly Twitter) account on August 26, 2025. His tweets addressed budget priorities, partisan divisions, and a personal observation about violence in Chicago.
In a post from August 26, 2025 at 23:44 UTC, Maddock wrote: "Republicans are focused on cutting 5 billion in waste out of our budget and the democrats are laser-focused on crazy."
Earlier that day at 21:31 UTC, Maddock shared a link without additional commentary: https://t.co/SxfJUMh2xq
Later that evening at 23:52 UTC, he described an incident he witnessed in Chicago: "Downtown tourist Chicago I once saw a man get his head beat in and maybe he even died it was so brutal."
Maddock has been known for his outspoken positions as a Republican legislator representing Michigan's 51st district. His remarks reflect ongoing debates over government spending and political polarization in state legislatures. In recent years, both parties have clashed over budget allocations and fiscal priorities across multiple states.
