Joanne Shofner, known for her involvement in Texas politics, recently took to social media to express her views on various topics. Through a series of tweets, she highlighted issues ranging from medical freedom to the celebration of national holidays.

On July 2, 2025, Shofner announced that a second letter had been sent by the office of House District 11 to the Governor of Texas concerning an ongoing special session. She emphasized that “Ivermectin over the counter! Medical freedom will always be our top priority.” This message was directed at Texas Governor Greg Abbott and an organization advocating for vaccine choice.

In another post dated July 4, 2025, Shofner commemorated Independence Day with a tweet stating “Happy Independence Day, America! Brought to you by citizens with guns!” The tweet underscored a connection between American independence and gun ownership.

A subsequent tweet on July 5, 2025, simply expressed religious gratitude with “Praise God!!!”

### Additional information for Step 3:
The special session mentioned in the first tweet refers to legislative meetings called outside regular sessions. Ivermectin has been a topic of controversy due to its unapproved use for COVID-19 treatment. The mention of “citizens with guns” in relation to Independence Day reflects ongoing debates about gun rights in America.
