Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a U.S. Congress member representing Washington's 7th district since 2017, recently shared her views on various issues through social media posts. Her comments ranged from local community engagements to national policy concerns.

On March 20, 2025, Rep. Jayapal expressed her appreciation for FareStart, an organization focused on employment training and community support. She stated: "It was so great to visit @farestart, an organization committed to helping people overcome barriers to employment and gain on-the-job skills, all while feeding our neighbors. Not to mention, the food was fantastic!"

Later that day, she addressed a significant political development involving former President Donald Trump. In her tweet at 20:40 UTC, she reported: " BREAKING: Trump just signed an executive order to dismantle the Education Department — something he has no legal authority to do." She highlighted the potential consequences of this action by stating it would "cut off funding for millions of kids."

In another post at 22:00 UTC on the same day, Rep. Jayapal criticized the Trump administration's immigration policies. She tweeted: "The Trump administration is deporting immigrants with ZERO CRIMINAL RECORD or proof of gang ties to hard-labor prisons in El Salvador." She described these actions as "completely lawless behavior."
