Mike Quigley, a U.S. Congressman representing Illinois' 5th district since 2009, shared his views on various topics through a series of tweets on November 23, 2024. Quigley has been an active political figure since replacing Rahm Emanuel in Congress and previously served on the Cook County Board of Commissioners.

In a tweet posted at 13:13 UTC, Quigley criticized former President Donald Trump's cabinet selections. He stated, "Trump's cabinet picks seem to prioritize loyalty over expertise. The country needs experienced, unbiased leaders—not a team of sycophants."

Later that day, at 15:20 UTC, Quigley paid tribute to Tamir Rice, marking the anniversary of the young boy's death. He tweeted, "Today we remember Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old boy whose life was tragically cut short. On this anniversary of his death, we honor his memory and recommit ourselves to the fight for justice and accountability."

At 20:03 UTC on the same day, Quigley reminded constituents about Medicare Open Enrollment. He encouraged people to review their options before the deadline with his message: "Medicare Open Enrollment is here! Now’s the time to review your options and ensure you have the coverage you need. Don’t miss out—enroll by December 7th!"
