Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, representing Michigan's 12th district, has recently made several statements via social media addressing a range of issues from legislative matters to international concerns. Known for her outspoken nature and commitment to various causes, Tlaib continues to engage with the public on pressing topics.

On January 22, 2025, Tlaib shared her views on the Laken Riley Act. She posted a statement on this legislation through her official account. "My statement on the Laken Riley Act: https://t.co/Az1TWnGIox"

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. Families are struggling to buy groceries while corporations continue to profit from price-gouging. But I know this doesn’t matter to President Trump and his billionaire friends."

On January 24, 2025, Tlaib addressed international human rights concerns regarding Israel and Palestine. 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. Palestinians have been so dehumanized that it hasn’t even made headlines. The ethnic cleansing has not ended. They will never stop until there’s an arms embargo."
