Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, representing Illinois' 8th district since 2017, has been vocal on several issues through his recent tweets. His posts reflect his concerns and actions regarding various national matters.
On March 18, 2025, Congressman Krishnamoorthi expressed his disapproval of Elon Musk and DOGE's involvement with the United States Postal Service (USPS). He stated, "Elon Musk and DOGE have no business overseeing the USPS. That's why I co-led my Oversight Committee colleagues in calling upon Chairman Comer to use our committee's jurisdiction and hold a hearing on President Trump’s plans for the Postal Service."
Later that day, he addressed President Trump's policies, emphasizing their impact on working families. He tweeted at 19:52 UTC: "President Trump should listen to working families and protect them from hardships, not cause them more. In the meantime, I will not stop fighting his attempts to cut vital programs or his unnecessary blanket tariffs that are driving up costs for Americans."
In another tweet posted at 21:27 UTC on the same day, Krishnamoorthi highlighted his legislative efforts concerning healthcare professionals' mental health support. He mentioned his role in enacting significant legislation by stating: "I was proud to coauthor the Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act and shepherd it into law to provide critical mental health support to our health care professionals. Now, Congress needs to reauthorize it."
