Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Washington's 7th district since 2017, recently shared her views on various political issues through a series of tweets. Known for her progressive stance, Jayapal addressed topics ranging from government shutdowns to the impact of certain policies on American farmers and children.

On March 12, 2025, Rep. Jayapal commented on remarks made by JD Vance to House Republicans regarding potential accountability for a government shutdown. She stated, "JD Vance told House Republicans yesterday that Republicans will take the blame for a government shutdown. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I agree with JD Vance. If there is a shutdown, it’s on Republicans."

Later that day, she expressed criticism towards former President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Republican policies in another tweet posted at 18:24:56 UTC. She wrote, "Trump, Elon, and Republicans are killing two birds with one stone. The only problem is that the two birds are American farmers and hungry kids."
