Rep. Pramila Jayapal, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Washington's 7th district, has been vocal on social media about her political stance and opinions. In a series of tweets posted on March 5, 2025, she addressed several key issues.

In one tweet, Jayapal stated her opposition to tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans: "No, I won’t be voting for tax cuts for the top 1%." This post highlights her stance against policies favoring economic benefits for the affluent minority.

Another tweet from the same day criticized former President Donald Trump's remarks about ending rule by unelected officials. Jayapal questioned this statement by referencing Elon Musk: "Trump: 'The days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over.' What about unelected billionaire shadow president, Elon Musk?"

Additionally, Jayapal expressed concern over Trump's comments regarding federal employees. She tweeted: "Trump is bragging about firing thousands of federal workers — the people who process your Social Security checks, do cancer research, and staff our national parks." This tweet underscores her apprehension about potential impacts on essential public services due to workforce reductions.
