Rep. Pramila Jayapal, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Washington’s 7th district, has been vocal on various issues through her social media platform. Her recent tweets address economic concerns, civil rights reflections, and political disagreements.

On March 7, 2025, Rep. Jayapal criticized former President Trump for not fulfilling his promise to reduce costs for working families. She stated that "Trump promised to lower costs for working families. But costs are going up — and he hasn’t done a single thing to change that."

Later the same day, she reflected on the historical significance of Bloody Sunday and emphasized ongoing efforts toward justice. In her tweet posted at 16:54 UTC, she urged continued dedication to these causes by stating "As we remember and reflect on Bloody Sunday, let us continue the march toward justice — for my hero John Lewis, for those who made good trouble alongside him, and for all those still powerfully organizing today for what is just and what is right. We must never give up."

In another post from March 7 at 18:47 UTC, Rep. Jayapal addressed an impending government shutdown and criticized Republican priorities in budget negotiations. She expressed concern over their focus on tax breaks rather than essential benefits by saying "We’re 7 days from a government shutdown. But instead of working with Democrats to fund the government, Republicans are busy slashing benefits that Americans rely on, all so they can pass a giant tax break for billionaires."
