James E. Clyburn, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing South Carolina’s 6th district since 1993, recently took to social media to express his concerns on various issues. Clyburn, known for his extensive political career, commented on the state of Social Security, personal leisure activities, and environmental challenges facing South Carolina, addressing former President Donald Trump's administration policies on multiple occasions.

On March 25, 2025, Clyburn tweeted about his concerns regarding Social Security, attributing its current issues to Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump. He stated: "Social Security is in crisis because of Musk and Trump. People are waiting hours to speak to a representative. They're set to close offices across the country. 'Efficiency' is just a guise. They’re following through on the long-time GOP goal of dismantling Social Security."

The following day, on March 26, Clyburn casually shared his participation in a media appearance. He tweeted: "I was happy to join @ChrisCillizza on Politics Aside on @MonSportsNet to discuss my golf game and which President I think is the best golfer.

On March 27, 2025, Clyburn addressed environmental issues facing South Carolina, reflecting on past natural disasters and ongoing threats. He criticized the actions of the Trump administration regarding FEMA, stating: "South Carolina forests are on fire right now. Just 6 months ago, Hurricane Helene left over a million South Carolinians without power or with damaged homes. Yet the Trump Admin wants to eliminate FEMA. This is a slap in the face to South Carolina."
