Lori Trahan, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Massachusetts' 3rd district since 2019, has expressed her views via a series of tweets. These statements address a range of issues, from social welfare to public health in America.

In a tweet dated March 27, 2025, Trahan voiced concerns over the impact of budget cuts on hunger relief organizations. She highlighted the exhaustiveness of such cuts with the statement: "These cuts don’t just take food off the table – they undermine the tireless work of organizations like @MVFoodBank which are often the last line of defense against hunger. No child in America should have to go to bed hungry or skip lunch at school so Republicans’ billionaire".

On March 28, 2025, Trahan commented on the dismissal of health officials amidst health crises. She stated: "As America faces ongoing measles outbreaks and the rapid spread of bird flu, firing the health officials who respond to disease outbreaks is the LAST thing that we should be doing. These senseless layoffs will make America less safe and less healthy."

Additionally, another post was made on March 28, 2025, but it consisted solely of an unrevealed personal view as indicated by the tweet link: "https://t.co/IcEIVsQK5h".
