Rep. Pramila Jayapal, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Washington's 7th district, has recently taken to social media to express her views on several pressing issues. Her tweets cover topics ranging from economic policies to international aid and their impacts.
On February 14, 2025, Rep. Jayapal questioned economic strategies with a succinct inquiry: "How does this lower the price of eggs?" This tweet suggests a critique of current economic measures and their effectiveness in addressing everyday consumer concerns.
Later that day, she shared details about a proposed amendment aimed at taxing wealthier Americans. She stated, "Last night, I proposed a simple amendment to Republicans’ budget resolution: A 2 cent tax on every dollar of wealth over $50 million for the richest 0.05% of American households." Rep. Jayapal noted that all Republican members voted against this proposal, highlighting partisan divides on fiscal policy.
On February 15, 2025, Rep. Jayapal addressed international health issues by commenting on the shutdown of USAID programs: "This is the real life human impact of shutting down USAID." She warned about severe consequences in global health efforts against HIV/AIDS and attributed responsibility for these outcomes to former President Trump and Elon Musk.
