Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, representing Illinois' 8th district, has shared a series of tweets addressing recent political developments and cultural celebrations. Krishnamoorthi, who succeeded Tammy Duckworth in Congress in 2017, expressed his views on federal decisions impacting both domestic and international spheres.
On January 29, 2025, Congressman Krishnamoorthi commented on a judicial decision affecting federal funding: "My statement regarding a federal judge temporarily blocking President Donald Trump’s cruel and illegal decision to freeze trillions of dollars in federal grants and loans."
Later that day, he addressed the global implications of U.S. foreign aid policies: "Hundreds of millions of people around the world depend on American support to fight disease, hunger, and poverty. Abandoning those who depend on aid represents a failure of leadership and weakens our standing in the world while endangering Americans."
In another tweet from January 29, 2025, Congressman Krishnamoorthi extended greetings for a cultural festivity: "Happy Lunar New Year! As we welcome in the Year of the Snake, I hope this year is filled with peace, prosperity, good fortune, and good health for you and your families."
