Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Washington's 7th district, has been vocal on social media regarding recent political developments. In a series of tweets, she addressed issues related to federal programs and actions by prominent figures such as Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

On March 11, 2025, Jayapal criticized Republican lawmakers for passing what she described as a "slush fund" intended to benefit Trump and Musk while undermining essential federal programs. She stated, "Republicans just passed their slush fund to allow Trump & Elon Musk to keep ripping apart vital federal programs."

Later that day, Jayapal expressed concern over the impact on education funding due to workforce reductions at the Education Department. She claimed that "Trump and Elon Musk are firing thousands of Education Department workers," which she argued would disproportionately affect high-poverty schools.

On March 12, 2025, Rep. Jayapal highlighted economic challenges facing the nation while criticizing Trump's promotional activities for Elon Musk's business ventures. She noted that "The stock market is in free fall, inflation is still rising…" yet Trump was focused on boosting Musk’s car company.
