Lori Trahan, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Massachusetts’ 3rd district, has taken to social media to express her concerns about various issues affecting Americans. Through a series of tweets posted on March 7, 2025, Trahan highlighted the potential negative impacts of policy decisions by the Trump Administration and shared insights from recent congressional hearings.
In a tweet posted at 16:02 UTC, Trahan criticized the closure of Social Security field offices and the layoffs of over 7,000 federal employees. She argued that such actions do not equate to “government efficiency” and warned that they would harm families relying on Social Security payments for their livelihoods.
Later in the day, at 19:56 UTC, Trahan addressed the importance of Medicaid for millions of Americans, including nearly two million residents in Massachusetts. She referenced a hearing held by House Democrats where they listened to testimonies from parents, seniors, and healthcare providers about how changes to Medicaid could adversely affect them.
In another tweet shared at 20:54 UTC, Trahan focused on the challenges faced by individuals with rare diseases. She noted that 95% of these conditions lack FDA-approved treatments, leaving millions—particularly children—without effective options for care.
