Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a U.S. Congress member representing Washington's 7th district, actively engages with her constituents through social media platforms. She frequently uses this medium to address social issues, recognize notable contributors to her community, and affirm her policy positions.
On March 30, 2025, Rep. Jayapal countered a statement by Elon Musk regarding Social Security. In her tweet, Jayapal expressed disagreement with Musk, asserting, "No, Elon — Social Security isn't a 'Ponzi scheme.' It’s America’s most successful anti-poverty program that millions of seniors rely on. Keep your hands off it."
In another tweet on the same day, Jayapal highlighted the work of Ming-Ming Tung-Edelman, the Executive Director of the Refugee Artisan Initiative (RAI). She acknowledged, "Ming-Ming has dedicated her career to serving immigrant and refugee populations, and in 2017 she founded RAI to help women gain artisan job-skills. I was proud to secure $650,000 for RAI in 2023 to support this work. Ming-Ming, thank you for all you do for our community!" Jayapal's tweet underscores her support for initiatives that empower immigrant communities through vocational training.
Recognizing Women's History Month, Jayapal took the opportunity to commend Ming-Ming Tung-Edelman, stating, "In honor of #WomensHistoryMonth, I’d like to take a moment to recognize an incredible woman in our community: Ming-Ming Tung-Edelman, Executive Director of Refugee Artisan Initiative!"
