Rep. Mike Collins, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Georgia’s 10th District since 2023, shared his views on various topics in a series of tweets. Born in Jackson, Georgia in 1967 and a Georgia State University graduate, Collins has been active in political discourse with a focus on economic and historical issues.

On April 3, 2025, Rep. Collins commented on trade relations, suggesting a change in international tariff policies. "The world’s response should be to drop their tariffs on Americans so we can drop ours."

Reflecting on a significant historical event, Collins tweeted on April 4, 2025, commemorating the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968. He highlighted King’s pivotal contributions to the civil rights movement. "On #ThisDayInHistory in 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee. King, a Baptist preacher and an influential leader of the civil rights movement, is most known for his role in advancing civil rights, including his 'I Have a Dream' speech."

"New jobs report shows U.S. adds 228,000 jobs well above 'expert' expectations and the first oil leases have been made under the new name: Gulf of America. It's a GM for our country."
