Rep. Pramila Jayapal, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Washington’s 7th district, has recently shared her views on social media regarding significant political and social issues. Her tweets cover a range of topics from government appointments to presidential actions and legislative achievements.

On December 12, 2024, Rep. Jayapal criticized former President Trump's cabinet selections, stating that he is "stacking his cabinet with big donors, billionaires, and people who have no business leading government departments." She expressed concern that their "only qualification" was "complete loyalty."

The following day, December 13, 2024, she thanked President Biden for his use of executive power to grant commutations. In her tweet, she stated: "Thank you @POTUS for using executive power to change lives and reunite families with these commutations." She urged further action by requesting clemency for individuals on federal death row and specific pardons.

Later on the same day, Rep. Jayapal commemorated the second anniversary of the signing of the Respect for Marriage Act by President Biden. She noted that this act "officially enshrined the right to same sex and interracial marriages into law." Rep. Jayapal reaffirmed her commitment to fighting in Congress for equal rights in love.
