Lori Trahan, a U.S. Congress member representing Massachusetts’ 3rd district, has been active on social media sharing updates on her recent engagements and legislative efforts. Trahan, who succeeded Niki Tsongas in 2019, often discusses matters pertinent to her constituents and broader legislative initiatives.

On February 11, 2025, Trahan highlighted Massachusetts' leadership in medical research and development. She attributed this progress to the state's legal defense efforts led by the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office. "Massachusetts is a leader in medical research and lifesaving breakthroughs. Today, thanks to @MassAGO, we led the way in defending the investments that make that progress possible."

Later that day, Trahan discussed the Taxpayer Data Protection Act, emphasizing its role in safeguarding personal information from potential misuse by wealthy individuals such as Elon Musk. She called for bipartisan support to pass the legislation. "The Taxpayer Data Protection Act will make sure a billionaire donor like Elon Musk can never buy access to our Social Security numbers or bank accounts again. We need 3 Republicans to join @HouseDemocrats to pass this legislation."

In another post from February 11, Trahan praised community colleges in Massachusetts for their role in preparing students for workforce success. She expressed appreciation for her meetings with leaders from Middlesex Community College, Northern Essex Community College, and Mount Wachusett Community College. "Community colleges across Massachusetts equip students with the skills they need to thrive in the workforce and beyond! It was great to meet with @middlesex_cc, @NorthernEssex and @MountWachusett leaders about their vital work and their excellent students."
