Congressman Zach Nunn, a U.S. Representative and co-chair of the Congressional Foster Youth Caucus, shared a series of posts on his Twitter account in October 2025 addressing family support policies, government funding debates, and international affairs.

On October 16, 2025, Nunn highlighted his personal experience as an adoptive parent and expressed support for recent executive actions, stating: "Let’s support families. I commend the Trump administration's efforts to make it easier for more Americans to start a family. As an adoptive dad of two girls and co-chair of the Congressional Foster Youth Caucus, I know how life-changing it is to help a child find a forever home".

The following day, Nunn addressed ongoing disputes over government funding in Congress. On October 17, 2025, he wrote: "I joined fellow @RepublicanStudy veterans to call out Senate Democrats for blocking efforts to reopen the government. These partisan games are threatening military pay and putting America's national security at risk."

Later on October 17, 2025, Nunn commented on foreign policy developments in the Middle East: "The hostages are home, and thanks to President Trump's strong leadership, the Middle East is on a path to peace. When America leads with strength and moral clarity, the world follows."

Nunn’s remarks reflect ongoing national discussions on adoption policy, which has seen recent federal efforts to ease adoption processes and support foster families. His comments on government funding come amid recurring debates in Congress over budget appropriations that have previously led to temporary shutdowns affecting federal workers and military personnel. On international affairs, his statements align with broader Republican support for assertive U.S. engagement in global diplomacy.
