Jake Auchincloss, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Massachusetts' 4th district, has been actively addressing significant issues through his social media platform. In a series of tweets, he shared his views on housing challenges and public health policies.

On November 22, 2024, Auchincloss tweeted about the economic challenge of housing costs in Massachusetts. He emphasized the need for increased housing development and announced his role as co-chair of the newly founded YIMBY Caucus. Auchincloss stated, "The cost of housing is the greatest economic challenge facing Massachusetts. The answer: build more housing." He mentioned working with officials at various government levels to implement reforms that facilitate housing development.

The following day, November 23, 2024, Auchincloss criticized Kennedy's approach to health policy in another tweet. He argued that Kennedy's agenda is masked by discussions on holistic health and emphasized the availability of qualified health experts capable of improving child nutrition without compromising public safety. He tweeted, "Kennedy is masking his MAHA agenda with hand-waving about holistic health..." He also referenced his op-ed published in the Boston Globe.

Later that day, Auchincloss addressed Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s stance on scientific matters. Expressing concern over Kennedy's approach to issues from a conspiracy perspective rather than science-based reasoning, Auchincloss stated his opposition to Kennedy's confirmation. He committed to defending the integrity of national health institutions if necessary. His tweet read, "RFK Jr. approaches issues from a starting point of conspiracy, not science."
