Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez, representing Illinois' 3rd district, has expressed concerns over recent developments affecting federal workers and American citizens through a series of tweets on February 14, 2025. Ramirez has been vocal about her positions on the Musk-Trump Agenda, economic policies favoring corporations, and consumer protection initiatives.

In a tweet posted at 05:19:34 UTC, Congresswoman Ramirez addressed the firing of "1,000 federal workers — who serve our veterans—" and questioned their roles and the potential impact on the agency and veterans’ benefits. She criticized the actions as part of the "Musk-Trump Agenda" and asserted her position as the Ranking Member of the VA Oversight Committee to demand accountability.

Later that day at 19:11:47 UTC, she commented on economic policies enacted by Republicans. She claimed that these policies benefit billionaire bosses with "$314K tax cuts a YEAR" and "$2 TRILLION in handouts," while simultaneously reducing funding for Medicaid by "$880B" and food assistance by "$230B." Ramirez characterized these measures as detrimental to working people.

In another tweet shared at 19:58:40 UTC, Ramirez praised the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) for its role in supporting working families. She highlighted achievements such as returning "$21B back to consumers," protecting against junk fees and scams, holding corporations accountable, removing medical debt from credit reports, and ending predatory housing practices.
