Rep. Tony Wied, a political figure known for his active engagement on social media, recently shared several thoughts via Twitter. His tweets touched upon issues ranging from welfare requirements to political support and public safety.
On May 15, 2025, Rep. Wied addressed the Governor in a tweet stating, "Governor, I know your first instinct is always to lie to your constituents, but it's getting old." He continued by discussing work requirements for welfare, mentioning that "82% of Wisconsin families receiving SNAP already have at least one working member," suggesting that such requirements should not be contentious.
Later that day, he posted another message urging his followers to "Stay safe everyone!" This tweet was notably brief and did not provide additional context or details.
The following day, on May 16, 2025, Rep. Wied expressed support for President Trump's agenda through another tweet noting, "The American people have made it clear: they support President Trump’s agenda." He commended House Republicans' efforts in advancing a budget aligned with this agenda and called for unity in passing it to continue their legislative progress.
In recent years, discussions around work requirements for welfare programs like SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) have been prevalent among policymakers and advocacy groups. These conversations often revolve around balancing assistance with incentives for employment.
