Rep. Mike Collins has recently shared his opinions on a variety of issues via social media, addressing topics ranging from political rhetoric to economic policies. Collins, who currently represents Georgia's 10th district in the U.S. Congress, has been vocal about his perspectives on current policies and practices.

On April 14, 2025, Rep. Collins expressed his discontent with the use of language surrounding civil unrest and societal issues, tweeting, "First it was 'nonviolent, peaceful rioting' and now it’s 'peaceful child sacrifices.' What planet did these people come from?" This statement reflects his criticism of what he perceives as contradictory or misleading terminology in public discourse.

Later that day, Rep. Collins commented on regulatory measures affecting American businesses. He tweeted at 14:54:23 UTC, "Americans and our small businesses are constantly being bogged down with burdensome regulations. President Trump is cutting the red tape, and now, you can let YOUR voice be heard. Have an idea for deregulation? Submit to @DOGE HERE: https://t.co/O72i83A5zF" This post aligns with Collins’ advocacy for reduced governmental regulations, a stance that supports former President Trump’s deregulatory efforts.

Additionally, Collins addressed the financial implications of the "Inflation Reduction" Act in a tweet at 17:08:04 UTC on the same day, stating, "The 'Inflation Reduction' Act, now projected to cost over $1 TRILLION, expanded government control over America's energy and transportation industries and our small businesses. It made inflation worse, not better." This comment underscores his skepticism about the Act’s efficacy, suggesting the policy did not achieve its intended financial results.

Mike Collins has served in the U.S. Congress, representing Georgia's 10th District, since 2023. Collins, 55, was born in Jackson, Georgia, in 1967 and graduated from Georgia State University in 1990 with a BA. He succeeded Jody Hice in 2023 to represent his district and currently resides in Jackson.
