Rep. Pramila Jayapal, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Washington's 7th district, has recently expressed her views on various political issues through a series of tweets. Her posts cover topics ranging from constitutional concerns to legislative initiatives.

On February 12, 2025, Rep. Jayapal addressed what she described as a "constitutional crisis" due to former President Trump's alleged disregard for court rulings he disagrees with. She criticized Republicans on the Judiciary Committee for focusing on "made up accusations of censorship" instead of this issue. The original tweet can be found here.

Later that day, Rep. Jayapal commented on the Republican majorities in both the Senate and House regarding potential cuts to programs like Medicaid. She stated that if Republicans wish to proceed with such cuts, they must secure votes within their own party, emphasizing that Democrats will not support reducing funding for "lifesaving benefits." The original tweet is available here.

On February 13, 2025, Rep. Jayapal announced the reintroduction of her "We the People Amendment," aiming to overturn the Citizens United decision and emphasize that "Corporations are NOT people" and "Money is NOT speech." She urged action to shift power back to American citizens. This announcement can be viewed here.
