Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Washington’s 7th district since 2017, has expressed her views on various political issues through a series of tweets dated March 4, 2025. Jayapal's statements address concerns about GOP policies, economic strategies under former President Trump, and judicial independence.

In a tweet posted on March 4, 2025, at 20:03 UTC, Rep. Jayapal criticized the GOP for their reluctance to heed constituent concerns regarding social welfare programs. She stated: "Scared of listening to your own constituents, GOP? The truth is hard to hear. Americans want you to stop cutting their Medicaid and Social Security to give tax breaks to billionaires."

Later that day at 21:37 UTC, she addressed economic issues related to former President Trump's policies: "Trump promised to lower costs. Instead, his tariff war could lead to another Great Depression. Trump’s policies are tanking our economy and raising prices."

In another tweet from March 4, 2025, at 23:10 UTC, Jayapal voiced her concerns over Republican legislative efforts affecting judicial independence: "Trump has a long history of attacking the judiciary simply for following the law. Now Republicans are pushing legislation that would give him more leeway to ignore the courts & avoid accountability. This behavior toward judicial independence makes a mockery of our constitution."
