Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a U.S. Congress member representing Washington’s 7th district since 2017, expressed her concerns through a series of tweets on January 29, 2025. The congresswoman addressed issues related to medical decisions for children and criticized actions by the Trump administration.
In a tweet posted on January 29, 2025, at 14:14:51 UTC, Rep. Jayapal described recent events as "a cruel attack on lifesaving care."

Later that day at 14:59:22 UTC, Rep. Jayapal shared her full statement regarding "Donald Trump’s attempted chaotic, cruel, and unconstitutional federal funding freeze," which was temporarily stayed by a federal judge.
In another tweet at 16:44:36 UTC, she criticized the Trump administration's actions as "another sweeping action made by the Trump admin with zero sense of the actual impacts." She warned that this "disorganization, lack of planning, and disregard for real people and their jobs will cost lives."
