Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez, representing Illinois' 3rd district, shared her perspectives on various national issues through a series of tweets on December 12, 2024. Her posts addressed significant topics including corporate mergers, citizenship rights, and clemency in the justice system.

In a tweet posted on December 12, 2024, at 00:31 UTC, Congresswoman Ramirez expressed her satisfaction with the termination of the Kroger-Albertsons merger. She stated: "The decision to end the merger of Kroger-Albertsons is a win for working families! I am glad to have worked with my colleagues and the FTC to ensure we protected our communities from higher grocery prices and fewer grocery store options."

Later that day, at 21:56 UTC, Ramirez criticized former President Donald Trump's proposal to terminate birthright citizenship. She tweeted: "Who is American enough for Donald Trump? Trump's plans to end birthright citizenship are anti-American & unconstitutional. We will defend the 14th Amendment that clearly protects people's right to citizenship!"

Finally, on December 12 at 23:06 UTC, Congresswoman Ramirez commended President Biden's decision regarding clemency for certain individuals. She stated: "I applaud @POTUS's decision to pardon & reduce the sentences of 1,500 people. Clemency reunites families & gives second chances. The process reflects the best parts of who we are. It's a step and there is more to do to realize a fair justice system."
