Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Washington's 7th district, has been active on social media discussing various issues affecting her constituents and the broader political landscape. On November 22, 2024, she shared her thoughts on local safety measures, international arms sales, and economic concerns.

On November 22, 2024, Rep. Jayapal urged residents of King County to stay informed about potential hazards due to ongoing extreme weather conditions by signing up for the area's alert system. She emphasized community safety by stating: "KING COUNTY RESIDENTS: Make sure to sign up for our area’s alert system to stay informed about potential hazards from ongoing extreme weather. Stay safe and look out for each other!"

Later that day, Rep. Jayapal highlighted her leadership role in supporting a resolution led by Senator Bernie Sanders aimed at halting specific offensive arms transfers to Israel. She stated: "This week, I led a group of House colleagues in supporting @SenSanders’ resolution to stop the sale of specific offensive arms transfers to Israel. The U.S. must use our leverage to de-escalate violence and save lives, not continue funding this war."

In another post on the same day, Rep. Jayapal addressed economic issues related to corporate monopolies and their impact on small businesses and consumers. She expressed concern over rising prices and stagnant wages caused by these monopolies: "Our system is broken, and the big corporate monopolies are the ones to blame. They’re driving out small businesses, raising prices from the grocery store to the gas pump, and keeping wages low. We must take on these giant corporations and deliver for working people."
