Rep. Mike Collins, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Georgia's 10th district, shared several tweets on December 12, 2024, addressing historical events, congratulatory remarks, and legislative concerns.

On December 12, 2024, Rep. Collins commemorated a significant event in aviation history. He stated: "On #ThisDayInHistory in 1953, Maj. Chuck Yeager set a speed record by flying the Bell X-1A to Mach 2.44 (about 1,650 mph) at Edwards Air Force Base, California. At 80,000 feet and Mach 2.4, the aircraft went into an uncontrollable spin on all three axes, dropping 51,000 feet in…"

Later that day at 14:10 UTC, Rep. Collins offered his congratulations to the President with a succinct message: "Congratulations, Mr. President."

In another tweet posted at 14:43 UTC on the same day, Rep. Collins expressed his stance on legislative matters concerning children's protection and constitutional rights: "There is nothing more noble than protecting children, but we must make sure that any legislation we pass never infringes on the 1st Amendment or gives more power to government bureaucrats." He added his agreement with Speaker Johnson and emphasized getting things right under Trump's presidency.
