Congressman Mark Messmer has recently addressed a range of issues on his social media account, including antisemitism, university accountability, and national defense legislation.

On July 15, 2025, Messmer posted about concerns regarding actions in Ireland: "I join my colleagues and the world in condemning this threatened antisemitic behavior, and urge Ireland to stop this appalling proposal! https://t.co/WcYrzvbOf7".

The following day, on July 16, 2025, he criticized the City University of New York (CUNY) for its handling of antisemitism: "There you have it. Yet another American university that doesn’t just let antisemites off the hook, it gives them a paycheck too. Do better, @CUNY. https://t.co/Wa4Lhsmesn".

Later that same day, Messmer congratulated the House Armed Services Committee Republicans for their work on the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026: "Congrats to @HASCRepublicans for #FY26NDAA, which will fund our nation’s warfighters and protect all Americans! The bill: Advances @POTUS’ Peace Through Strength agenda Reforms weapons acquisitions Supports the Golden Dome Read more here https://t.co/VxfMLIMAPS".

Messmer is a member of Congress who frequently comments on both domestic and international issues. His remarks come amid ongoing debates over rising antisemitism globally and within academic institutions in the United States. The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), referenced by Messmer in his third post, is an annual piece of legislation that outlines budget and expenditures for the U.S. Department of Defense and is considered critical for military policy each fiscal year.
