Rep. Pramila Jayapal, currently representing Washington's 7th District in the U.S. Congress, shared her insights via a series of tweets on March 28, 2025. Jayapal, who has been an active voice in Congress since replacing Jim McDermott in 2017, continues her efforts to advocate for progress and oppose policies she criticizes as harmful.

In a tweet from March 28, 2025, at 13:56 UTC, Jayapal expressed her commitment to challenging what she describes as "horrific policies" from Trump and the Republican party during her time back in Washington D.C. She highlighted her intent to bring attention to key issues each week for her supporters' awareness and action.

Later that day, at 15:35 UTC, Jayapal commented on former President Trump's escalating "attacks on judges" and remarked on Mike Johnson's discussion about "eliminating federal courts." Her tweet critically assessed these moves as "authoritarian tactics" employed by Republicans.

In another post on March 28, 2025, at 17:08 UTC, Jayapal demanded responses from the Trump administration over the case of Mahmoud Khalil, who faced detention and attempted deportation. She noted the lack of response and insufficient reasons provided for Khalil's detention as "unacceptable," reinforcing her stance through a detailed statement.
