On February 5, 2025, Rep. Buchanan expressed his congratulations to Pam Bondi on her confirmation as U.S. Attorney General. He stated: "Congratulations to my friend @PamBondi on her confirmation as U.S. Attorney General! I've had the privilege of working with her for years since her days as Florida AG." He reminisced about their past collaboration nearly 15 years ago discussing prescription drug abuse.

Later that day, Buchanan released a statement regarding President Trump's decision to suspend China's de minimis trade privilege. He announced this through his tweet: "My statement on President Trump suspending China's de minimis trade privilege" and provided links for further details.

In another tweet posted the same day, Buchanan addressed National Girls and Women in Sports Day by criticizing the Democrats' stance on gender inclusion in sports. He wrote: "It’s insane that the Democrats call to 'follow the science' but won’t work with @HouseGOP to keep men out of women’s sports." He emphasized that girls deserve fair competition without facing male opponents.
