The following day, January 23, 2025, Tlaib commented on economic issues affecting American families. She highlighted the disparity between rising costs and stagnant wages in a tweet stating: "The cost of eggs is now $9 but the federal minimum wage is still $7.25 an hour.

Her post drew attention to ongoing violence in Gaza and the West Bank with these words: "The Israeli apartheid regime is continuing to kill Palestinian children in Gaza and the West Bank.
