Rep. Pramila Jayapal, who has served in the U.S. Congress representing Washington's 7th district since 2017, shared her views on several key issues through a series of tweets on February 13, 2025. Jayapal, who has been an active political figure and previously worked in global health, expressed concerns about Social Security, gender-affirming care, and funding freezes affecting international aid.
In a tweet posted on February 13, 2025, at 20:08 UTC, Rep. Jayapal stated: "Don’t take it from me, take it from Republicans: they’re coming for your Social Security." This comment reflects her stance on the ongoing debates regarding the future of Social Security in the United States.
Later that day at 21:17 UTC, she tweeted her support for a court decision blocking an order from former President Trump. She wrote: "I’m glad to see the courts block this cruel, inhumane order from Trump. Gender-affirming care is health care, and I’ll keep fighting in Congress to ensure EVERYONE gets the lifesaving care they need and deserve." This statement underscores her commitment to advocating for inclusive healthcare policies.
Finally, at 22:47 UTC on the same day, Jayapal highlighted her previous experience working with USAID-funded partners and criticized a funding freeze imposed by Trump. She stated: "Before coming to Congress, I worked in global health with many USAID-funded partners and saw their essential life-saving work firsthand. Trump’s funding freeze is jeopardizing millions of lives — drug deliveries stopped, food aid halted, medical trials ended. Release the funds." Her comments draw attention to the potential humanitarian impacts of halting international aid programs.
