Chuck Fleischmann, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing Tennessee’s 3rd district since 2011, has been vocal about legislative efforts and meetings via social media. In a series of tweets in March 2025, Fleischmann highlighted his support for government initiatives and engagement with community leaders.

On March 10, 2025, Chuck Fleischmann expressed his support for a continuing resolution (CR) to keep the government open. He emphasized that this measure allows President Trump and Congress to work on advancing an America First Agenda aimed at revitalizing the country. "A CR to keep our government open means President Trump and Congress can continue working to pass an America First Agenda to get our country back on track." According to him, this aligns with the mandate given by the American people to govern effectively.

The following day, on March 11, 2025, Fleischmann announced that the House GOP majority had passed the House Appropriations Committee's CR. This decision was portrayed as part of ongoing efforts by conservative colleagues to advance key priorities through Congress in support of President Trump's agenda. "America's @HouseGOP majority just passed @HouseAppropsGOP's CR to keep our government open for business."
