Rep. Pramila Jayapal, currently serving in the U.S. Congress for Washington’s 7th district, has taken to social media to express her stance on various political issues and initiatives. Her recent tweets highlight efforts against corporate influence in politics, criticism of certain Republican actions, and opposition to proposed cuts in healthcare research funding.

On February 21, 2025, Rep. Jayapal announced her leadership in introducing a constitutional amendment aimed at reversing the Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court. She stated: "ICYMI: I’m leading a constitutional amendment to undo Citizens United. After an election where a billionaire bought a seat as Shadow President, we must ensure our democracy is truly of, by, and for the people — not corporations and billionaire donors."

Later that day, she criticized Republicans for their perceived alignment with figures such as Trump and Musk. In her tweet posted at 00:49:52 UTC on February 21st, she commented: "And this is exactly what must happen--constituents pushing back on the Republicans who are kowtowing to Trump/Musk when they know it is HURTING their constituents."

Additionally, Jayapal participated in a rally organized by @UAW4121 titled "Hands Off Our Healthcare, Research & Jobs." Addressing Trump's proposed cuts to NIH funding on February 21st at 14:47:09 UTC, she declared: "I was proud to join @UAW4121's Hands Off Our Healthcare, Research & Jobs rally on Wednesday. Trump’s attempt to cut NIH funding is an authoritarian power grab that will halt lifesaving research. We won’t allow it. We'll fight back every step of the way."
