Rep. Pramila Jayapal, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Washington's 7th district, has shared a series of tweets addressing various issues. Her posts range from providing information on disaster relief to critiquing political actions and policies.

On February 6, 2025, Rep. Jayapal informed her constituents in King County about the deadline for applying for Small Business Administration (SBA) physical damage loans following the bomb cyclone event. She stated, "KING COUNTY: If your home or business was affected by the bomb cyclone, the deadline to apply for SBA physical damage loans is February 21, 2025."

Later that day, she criticized the Trump administration with a tweet posted at 14:39 UTC. In her statement, she claimed that it was "a government of the billionaires, by the billionaires, and for the billionaires," emphasizing their focus on cutting vital programs such as Social Security and Medicare rather than raising wages or lowering costs.

In another post at 15:58 UTC on February 6, Rep. Jayapal expressed concern over potential job losses linked to actions by former President Trump and Elon Musk. She highlighted their efforts to reduce jobs while civil servants play crucial roles in sectors like cancer research and environmental protection. She stated that "Trump and Elon talk about 'protecting American jobs,' but they’re currently trying to kill 2 million of them."
