Lori Trahan, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Massachusetts’ 3rd district, has recently expressed her views on several issues through social media posts. Trahan, who succeeded Niki Tsongas in 2019, continues to engage with constituents and address pressing concerns.

On March 26, 2025, Trahan commented on the impact of certain decisions on public school children from less privileged backgrounds. She stated that "It’s not the kids of the well-off and well-connected who will feel the pain of this decision – it’s kids from families like the one I grew up in, the ones who rely on public schools to receive a quality education that will set themselves up for success."

Later that day, she criticized actions by top defense officials under former President Trump. At 15:18 UTC, she tweeted about what she described as a betrayal and breakdown of common sense: "Let’s be clear about what’s happening here: This is a shocking betrayal by Trump’s top defense officials and a total breakdown of common sense. We’ve all been in a group chat. I’m in one for my daughter’s lacrosse team where we coordinate snacks and travel."

Trahan also acknowledged positive developments regarding healthcare services in Nashoba Valley. On March 26 at 17:45 UTC, she noted progress resulting from collaborative efforts across various government levels: "This is a pivotal step in the right direction – one that’s a result of the tireless efforts that are taking place at the local, state and federal levels as we work to restore essential health care and services for Nashoba Valley families."
