Senator Kevin Cramer posted a series of messages on September 11, 2025, addressing topics ranging from U.S.-Israel relations to the legacy of Charlie Kirk and ongoing concerns about a potential government shutdown.

In a post published at 17:26 UTC, Senator Cramer shared details of a meeting with Yehuda Neuberger, stating: "Enjoyed meeting with my good friend Yehuda Neuberger from @AIPAC. We discussed the importance of ensuring Israel is equipped to defend itself and guaranteeing antisemitism is confronted at home and abroad." Senator Cramer represents North Dakota in the United States Senate.

Later that day, at 18:32 UTC, he reflected on a personal loss and called for restraint in response to grief: "It's a profoundly sad day, it's almost hard to put words to it. My first thought this morning was, 'Lord, don't let my sadness turn to bitterness, or my anger turn to violent speech. But rather, take Charlie Kirk's example.' Many of my messages from Charlie started or ended".

At 20:18 UTC on the same day, Senator Cramer commented on the ongoing budget negotiations in Congress: "I think we've all learned through history there's no political party or institution that benefits from a government shutdown. I don't know what the outcome will be in terms of a compromise. The cleaner the continuing resolution, the better. We need to move on with the business".

Senator Cramer's remarks come as Congress continues debates over funding measures that could determine whether the federal government faces another shutdown—a recurring issue that has historically disrupted public services and affected millions of Americans.
