Congressman Mark Messmer posted a series of messages on his social media account on October 7, 2025, addressing two key issues: the ongoing situation involving hostages and the government shutdown debate.

In his first post of the day, Messmer stated, "We will never forget. Bring the Hostages Home NOW!" (October 7, 2025). The message was accompanied by a call for action regarding hostages, though no further details were provided in the post.

Later that day, Messmer made two separate posts referencing what he called the "#SchumerShutdown." The first was published at 16:00 UTC: "#SchumerShutdown" (October 7, 2025). He repeated this message in another post at 21:00 UTC: "#SchumerShutdown" (October 7, 2025).

The term "#SchumerShutdown" refers to political disputes in Congress over government funding that have led to partial or full federal government shutdowns. Such events typically result from disagreements between political parties about budget priorities and spending levels.

Messmer is a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. His recent posts reflect both ongoing international concerns and domestic legislative disputes.
