Angie Craig, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Minnesota's 2nd district, shared her views on several pressing issues through a series of tweets on March 14, 2025. Her statements covered topics ranging from the potential privatization of the United States Postal Service (USPS) to her opposition to a Republican funding bill.

In a tweet posted at 18:30 UTC, Craig expressed concern over USPS Postmaster General DeJoy's recent actions. She stated, "Yesterday, USPS Postmaster General DeJoy sent a letter to Congress admitting he signed an agreement with DOGE that could lead to job cuts and privatization." Craig emphasized her advocacy for maintaining the Postal Service as a public entity to prevent increased costs associated with privatization.

Later that day, at 18:55 UTC, Craig voiced strong opposition to a Republican funding bill. She declared in her tweet, "I wasn’t just a 'no' on the Republican funding bill this week - I was a 'hell no.'" Craig criticized the bill for allegedly favoring billionaires over middle-class Americans, veterans, and seniors.

In another post at 19:37 UTC, Craig urged for alternative solutions regarding budget proposals. She wrote, "We've got to reject this dangerous proposal and instead fight for a short-term funding bill so that we can finish our job and pass a real budget." She directed followers to read her full statement via an external link.
