Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Washington's 7th district, recently shared her views on various issues through social media posts. These tweets addressed topics ranging from national security to legislative measures and historical reflections.

On February 21, 2025, Rep. Jayapal expressed concerns about former President Donald Trump's impact on public safety and national security. She stated that Trump is diverting federal law enforcement resources away from critical tasks such as combating drug smuggling and human trafficking to target immigrants who pose no threat to public safety. "Trump is hurting our public safety and national security."

Later the same day, she highlighted a legislative initiative by House Democrats aimed at protecting personal information from unauthorized access by Elon Musk. The proposed Taxpayer Data Protection Act seeks to prevent Musk from accessing Treasury data, including payment systems and Social Security numbers. "ICYMI: House Democrats introduced legislation to keep Elon Musk out of your personal information."

On February 22, 2025, Rep. Jayapal commemorated the historical significance of civil rights activists like Rosa Parks, who were arrested in 1956 for their role in the Montgomery Bus Boycott. She emphasized the enduring legacy of these individuals in advancing the civil rights movement. "On this day in 1956, Rosa Parks and other civil rights activists were unjustly arrested for organizing the Montgomery Bus Boycott."
