On December 5, 2024, Congressman Murphy tweeted about a hearing held by the VA Committee. He stated: "Today, the VA Committee held a hearing investigating the VA’s reported budget shortfalls and the unnecessary and unspent federal funding they received from Congress. It is my priority to hold the VA accountable, so the dept can provide our veterans with the best care possible."

Later that day, he engaged in a discussion about cryptocurrency's role in government operations. He noted: "Excellent discussion with @elonmusk and @VivekGRamaswamy to hear about their vision for DOGE to improve government efficiency and reduce costs."

On December 6, 2024, Congressman Murphy met with Ascension Health to discuss financial matters affecting physicians. He tweeted: "It was a pleasure meeting with Ascension Health to discuss the significant reductions in physician reimbursement.
