Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a U.S. Congress member representing Washington's 7th district, has recently expressed her views on social media regarding former President Donald Trump's recent speech and policy proposals. Her comments reflect criticism of Trump's statements and his plans concerning veteran healthcare.

On March 5, 2025, Rep. Jayapal shared her reaction to Trump's speech the previous night by stating: "All I heard at Trump’s speech last night was lies, lies, and more lies." She further commented on the lack of a plan from Trump to address inflation and reduce costs for Americans.

Later that day, she criticized Trump's intention to terminate jobs within the veteran healthcare sector: "Trump wants to fire 80,000 Americans who wake up every single day and work to provide health care to our nation’s veterans." She described this action as disrespectful towards those who have served the country.

In another brief tweet posted shortly thereafter, Rep. Jayapal simply stated: "Absolutely not."
