Veronica Escobar, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Texas' 16th district, recently shared her views on social media regarding the current political climate and economic conditions under former President Donald Trump. Escobar has been serving in Congress since 2019, following her tenure on the El Paso County Commission.
On March 5, 2025, at 9:39 p.m. Eastern Time, Escobar tweeted "9:39 p.m. Eastern Time https://t.co/flkvdshKLb". This tweet appears to be a timestamp of her activity on social media.
Shortly after, she questioned Trump's response to rising egg prices in another tweet at 2:43 a.m., stating "Did Trump really just congratulate the person who suggested Americans raise their own chickens in response to bird flu and Trump's record egg prices?" This reflects her critique of the former president's handling of economic issues related to food security.
Later that morning at 2:50 a.m., Escobar expressed concern over what she perceives as changes to the American ethos under Trump's leadership by tweeting "The American Dream is for sale under Trump. This isn't supposed to be who we are." Her statement suggests apprehension about the direction in which she believes the country is heading.
