Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez, representing Illinois' 3rd district since 2023, recently shared her concerns on social media regarding the impact of the Musk-Trump agenda on veterans and broader governmental issues. In a series of tweets posted on February 17, 2025, she voiced apprehensions about how certain policies could affect various aspects of public welfare and governance.

In a tweet posted at 17:35 UTC, Congresswoman Ramirez highlighted concerns from veterans in her district: "Veterans in #IL03 have called my office worried about how the Musk-Trump agenda will affect their benefits and services. It’s time Musk and Trump gave them answers."

Later that day at 18:47 UTC, she expressed disapproval over financial privacy issues linked to Elon Musk's interests: "The world’s richest man wants YOUR financial information and the information of every taxpayer, nonprofit, and business, including his competitors. The answer must be NO. Americans are tired of the Musk-Trump powergrab. @HouseGOP needs to stand up with us."

At 19:20 UTC on the same day, Ramirez criticized actions affecting immigration judges amidst ongoing case backlogs: "How do Musk-Trump address a backlog of more than 3.7 million cases + broad support for the SHIELD Act and resources for more judges? Fire immigration judges. It's not efficiency... it's taking a sledgehammer to the federal government, consequences be damned."
