In his first tweet at 3:41 PM UTC, Cleaver stated that the U.S. House Financial Services Committee will conduct a hearing to investigate "the litany of abuses committed by the President" and to discuss legislative measures for accountability. He emphasized that Democrats are focused on addressing these issues through proper channels.

At 5:52 PM UTC, Cleaver informed his followers about new travel regulations requiring passengers to present a REAL ID for domestic flights starting the following day. He provided resources for Missourians to understand and prepare for this change.
