On January 21, 2025, Gallego expressed gratitude towards the Arizona State Troopers for their service.

"Great visit with @AZTroopers...Thank you for your dedication to keeping Arizonans safe. I’ll continue fighting to make sure you have the resources and support you need to protect our communities."

Later that day, Gallego addressed constitutional concerns in response to an executive order he deemed anti-American and unconstitutional. He praised Arizona Attorney General Mayes for opposing this order, underscoring the importance of upholding American values as outlined in the Constitution's 14th Amendment. "The Constitution is not subject to the whims of a president...Thank you @AZAGMayes for standing up to this anti-American and unconstitutional executive order."

In another tweet posted on January 21, 2025, Gallego highlighted an impending deadline regarding funding for a critical mental health program benefiting Arizona veterans. He noted assurances from VA Secretary nominee Collins that this funding would not lapse and committed to holding him accountable. "The clock is ticking: funding for a vital mental health program for Arizona veterans expires on March 31st...Today, VA Secretary nominee Collins ensured me he would not let that funding lapse and we’re going to hold him to it."
