Pramila Jayapal, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Washington’s 7th district since 2017, shared several statements on her official social media account on September 3, 2025, addressing antitrust issues involving Google, a federal court decision affecting Venezuelan deportations, and bipartisan legislation to ban congressional stock trading.
On September 3, Jayapal criticized the outcome of an antitrust case against Google in a post at 14:47 UTC: “Yesterday’s decision in the antitrust case against Google is just a slap on the wrist that will allow the company to stay a monopoly, rigging the game for themselves & hurting consumers.
