Representative Lori Trahan, serving Massachusetts' 3rd District in the U.S. Congress since 2019, recently made waves on social media. Her series of tweets on April 8, 2025, address concerns over privacy breaches and economic impacts of tariffs.

On April 8, 2025, Lori Trahan shared her apprehensions about data security breaches involving the cryptocurrency DOGE. She stated, "When DOGE is allowed to rummage through our sensitive data with no vetting or regard for confidentiality, ALL of us are put at risk. Elon Musk and his hackers breached Americans’ privacy – we deserve answers." This highlights concerns over handling sensitive information and the implications for individual privacy.

On the same day, Trahan addressed the economic implications of former President Donald Trump's trade policies. She asserted, "Donald Trump's tariffs are going to increase costs by 10%, 20% or 50% a year. A family making $65k a year just won’t be able to overcome that massive price hike." This comment emphasizes the financial burden these tariffs could impose on middle-income families.
