Bob Onder, a public figure and legislator, addressed several topics on his social media account between September 30 and October 1, 2025. His posts touched on the work of the Thomas More Society, the recognition of high school scholars, and ongoing debates over a government shutdown.

On September 30, 2025, Onder highlighted the mission of a legal advocacy group by stating: "The @ThomasMoreSoc is driven by the pursuit for justice.

The following day, he acknowledged academic achievement among high school seniors: "The U.S. Presidential Scholars Program is one of our nation’s highest honors for graduating high school seniors - recognizing academic excellence, leadership, and character. We celebrate all of this year's selected students - and congratulations to Theo Wen Volz representing https://t.co/vGYos97AJQ". The U.S. Presidential Scholars Program annually recognizes top-performing students based on academic success and leadership qualities.

Later on October 1, Onder commented on recent political developments regarding a federal government funding impasse: "All Americans should be angry about this shutdown. @HouseGOP did our job. We passed a CLEAN CR - one that keeps America OPEN and SECURE. To quote AOC: “It is not normal to shut down the government when we don’t get what we want.” Maybe Democrats should listen to their own https://t.co/JTXivF7VKh". Continuing disagreements in Congress over appropriations bills have led to periodic threats or occurrences of government shutdowns in recent years.

The Thomas More Society referenced by Onder is a national public interest law firm known for handling cases related to religious liberty and pro-life advocacy efforts.
