Congressman Mike Simpson, representing Idaho's 2nd district, has expressed his views on various policy issues through a series of Twitter posts. Known for his long tenure in Congress, starting in 1999, Simpson has turned to social media to share his perspectives on topics ranging from immigration to indigenous rights.

On April 1, 2025, Simpson commented on the significant decrease in border crossings between March 2024 and March 2025. He attributed this change to the leadership of President Trump, stating, "137,000 border crossings in March 2024 vs. 7,000 in March 2025. @POTUS is right—turns out all we really needed was a new president. Thank you, President Trump, for prioritizing border security! ".

The following day, April 2, 2025, Simpson voiced support for actions taken by the Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi to address the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. He connected these efforts to his previous work in Congress, specifically his role in hearings on the issue, asserting, "What @TheJusticeDept is doing here under @AGPamBondi's leadership is a crucial step toward ending this crisis. Last year, I held an @HouseAppropsGOP hearing on the ongoing Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women crisis. I will continue to use my role in Congress to support the work being done.".

On April 3, 2025, Simpson reaffirmed his stance on immigration policies, appreciating the efforts of President Trump, Secretary Noem, and the Department of Homeland Security to overturn previous policies by the Biden administration. He expressed his approval by stating, "My Idaho colleagues and I strongly support and deeply appreciate @POTUS, @Sec_Noem, and @DHSgov's efforts to reverse the Biden administration's open border policies and protect our homeland.".
