Pramila Jayapal, a U.S. Congress representative for Washington’s 7th district since 2017, has been vocal on social media about recent political developments. On February 11, 2025, she posted several tweets addressing key issues concerning the Republican-controlled House, Senate, and White House.
In a tweet dated February 11, 2025, Jayapal expressed her concerns about the potential actions of the Republican majority: "Republicans control the House, the Senate, & the White House. If they want to cut Medicaid, destroy federal agencies, and pass tax cuts for the rich, they need to do it on their own. And if they can’t get their party together, they’ll be the ones shutting down the government."
Later that day at 22:02 UTC, she criticized certain budgetary decisions with another tweet: "The people didn't vote for you to cut off cancer research funding."
In her final tweet of the day at 23:46 UTC, Jayapal highlighted accomplishments of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) while criticizing attempts by prominent figures to undermine it: "The CFPB has: Returned $21 billion to Americans Eliminated junk fees Banned medical debt from credit reports Capped banking overdraft fees at $5 Trump & Elon are dismantling it to help out their rich buddies — the same CEOs & execs the CFPB works to hold accountable."
