Angie Craig, a U.S. Congress member representing Minnesota's 2nd district since 2019, has recently shared her views and legislative efforts through a series of tweets. These posts reflect her focus on ethical governance and social welfare.

On November 25, 2024, Angie Craig emphasized the primary role of Congress members as public servants rather than participants in financial markets.

The following day, November 26, 2024, she addressed issues concerning Social Security benefits for seniors. She remarked that seniors deserve full access to their earned benefits due to their lifetime contributions. Craig announced her legislative action with the statement: "That’s why I wrote the bill to end federal taxes on Social Security benefits & strengthen the program for generations to come."

Later on November 26, 2024, Angie Craig congratulated an individual named Chad in a brief tweet saying "Congratulations, Chad!" The context or reason for this congratulation was not specified.
