Lori Trahan, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Massachusetts’ 3rd district, shared her thoughts on recent events through a series of tweets. Trahan, who has served in Congress since 2019, expressed her condolences and concerns over various issues impacting her constituents.
On January 30, 2025, Lori Trahan tweeted about an aircraft collision at Washington National Airport. She stated: “As we continue to receive information about the aircraft collision at Washington National Airport, I’m devastated by the loss of six Massachusetts residents, including two young teenagers. My heart is broken for their families, friends and the Skating Club of Boston community.”
Later that day, Trahan addressed local matters in Lawrence alongside community organizations and leaders. She commented on former President Donald Trump’s policies: “Today in Lawrence, I was joined by @GLCACInc, @GLFHC & @CAI_Haverhill and local leaders to discuss the dangerous consequences of Donald Trump’s attempt to withhold federal funding for programs like food and rental assistance that working families depend on to make ends meet.”
In another tweet posted on January 30, 2025, she criticized political actions following a tragedy: “First responders are still searching for bodies. Families are mourning their loved ones. A full investigation is underway.
None of that stopped President Trump from politicizing yesterday’s tragedy.
Disgusting.”
