Rep. Veronica Escobar, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Texas’ 16th district, has expressed her views on the political climate and recent legislative actions through a series of tweets. Her posts highlight concerns about Republican policies and decisions affecting various sectors, including healthcare and the economy.
On March 11, 2025, Rep. Escobar tweeted that "Republicans control the entire government." This statement sets the stage for her subsequent critiques of Republican-led initiatives.
Later that day, at 16:30 UTC, she criticized Republican efforts to reduce funding in critical areas by stating: "In addition to slashing funding for healthcare, seniors, and veterans, every Republican that votes for their funding bill is deliberately choosing to protect Trump's tariffs. It means each one of them is choosing to make your life more expensive and keep hurting our economy."
At 20:57 UTC on the same day, Rep. Escobar voiced her opposition to a particular piece of legislation with a tweet stating "Absolutely not, Elon Musk” and why I’m voting against the Republican funding bill"
