Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, representing Michigan's 12th district, has been vocal on various issues through her social media presence. Her recent tweets address concerns about federal program cuts, economic policies under former President Trump, and the ongoing fight for women's rights.

On March 5, 2025, Tlaib highlighted the impact of federal budget cuts on essential programs. She stated, "The federal programs our families rely on are run by federal workers. These cuts have real human impacts. We won’t let billionaires destroy critical programs and prevent our government from serving the people."

In a tweet dated March 6, 2025, she criticized Trump's budget proposal for its potential effects on the working class while benefiting billionaires. Tlaib expressed her views: "Trump's budget will harm the working class to give massive tax breaks to billionaires. Republicans want corporate oligarchy. We need economic democracy." She also encouraged readers to explore an op-ed linked in her post.

Later that day, Tlaib recognized Women's History Month by emphasizing women's roles in advocating for justice and equality.
