Matt Maddock, a Michigan state representative, posted a series of tweets on September 1 and 2, 2025, addressing issues ranging from holiday naming conventions to county spending on pretrial services.

On September 1, Maddock posted a tweet without additional commentary: https://t.co/Bia95kbdYL.

Later that day, he expressed criticism of changes to traditional holidays, writing, "Leftists and communist pigs are always renaming our traditional holidays. Why don’t we rename theirs? https://t.co/RCVRCfESMe".

On September 2, Maddock commented on the use of taxpayer funds in Oakland County for pretrial services. He stated, "Dirty secret. @oaklandcounty taxpayers pay 8 million to Pretrial Services to get scum out of jail for free with zero bail personal bonds. It’s a dangerous taxpayer-funded scam run by communists. https://t.co/hYcaLGdShw".

Pretrial services programs are designed to assess individuals charged with crimes before trial and recommend release conditions based on risk rather than ability to pay bail. These initiatives aim to reduce pretrial detention rates and promote fairness in the criminal justice system.

Oakland County is located in southeastern Michigan and is one of the most populous counties in the state.
