Rep. Barry Moore, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Alabama's 2nd district, has expressed strong opinions on recent fiscal decisions by the federal government through a series of tweets. Moore, who succeeded Martha Roy in 2021 and previously served in the Alabama House of Representatives from 2010 to 2018, highlighted discrepancies in governmental aid allocations.

On December 3, 2024, Moore criticized financial support for Ukraine compared to aid for Americans affected by Hurricane Helene. He stated, "The DC swamp has already sent $183B of your hard-earned tax dollars to Ukraine & is set to send another $725M without a second thought. Yet, they only offered $750 to Americans devastated by Hurricane Helene." Moore accused the Biden administration of an "America last agenda."

Later that day, Moore continued his critique of foreign aid allocations with a comparison between international and domestic disaster relief efforts. He tweeted at 18:27 UTC, "$1B in aid to help rebuild homes damaged by natural disasters in another country. $750 for American taxpayers displaced by Hurricane Helene."

On December 4, 2024, Moore shared his views on leadership and governance, referring to former President Trump and Tom Homan as examples of effective leadership. He commented at 16:55 UTC, "The glorious Trump effect in action...they inspire other leaders to actually prioritize their citizens."
