Warren Davidson, a U.S. Congressman representing Ohio’s 8th district since 2016, posted a series of messages on his social media account on September 15, 2025, addressing concerns about institutional control and plans for governmental reform.

In his first post at 2:00 AM UTC, Davidson wrote, "This may break the internet. I have new plans for tomorrow at noon."

Later that morning at 11:42 AM UTC, he expanded on his views regarding institutions and governance. He stated, "Once the long march captures an institution, you must rebuild it or eliminate it. You cannot steer an organization that has been captured.

Born in Sidney, Ohio in 1970 and currently residing in Troy at age 53, Davidson has frequently commented on issues related to government structure and constitutional limits during his tenure.
