Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a current member of the U.S. Congress representing Washington’s 7th district, recently expressed her concerns on social media about various issues affecting Americans. Her posts address the influence of corporate entities in health care and consumer goods, as well as support for marginalized communities.

On November 24, 2024, Rep. Jayapal highlighted the dominance of large health care corporations in Washington State: "Just a handful of big health care corporations control 90% of the hospital beds across the state of Washington — that’s bad for Washingtonians." She criticized corporate greed in health care, linking it to poorer outcomes and higher costs.

Later that day, she posted about her leadership role in introducing a resolution honoring Transgender Day of Remembrance: "ICYMI: I led a record-breaking 92 Democrats in introducing a resolution honoring Transgender Day of Remembrance." She expressed pride in members standing with the transgender community against cruelty and hate.

On November 25, 2024, Rep. Jayapal addressed economic issues faced by Americans due to corporate practices: "As you pay more for eggs and diapers, big company CEOs and shareholders are raking in record profits." She described this as an issue of price gouging by corporate monopolies and emphasized standing up for poor and working families.
