Angie Craig, representing Minnesota's 2nd district in the U.S. Congress, recently shared her views and actions on various issues through social media. Her posts addressed topics ranging from aviation safety to sports and governmental transparency.

On March 26, Craig met with air traffic controllers from the Minneapolis Center and the National Air Traffic Controllers Association. She expressed her commitment to addressing concerns within the aviation sector, noting recent incidents and referencing budget cuts. Craig emphasized her dedication despite current administrative reductions, stating, "Today, I met with air traffic controllers from the Minneapolis Center in Farmington and the National Air Traffic Controllers Association. While the Admin is cutting FAA funding & staff – in the wake of several concerning aviation incidents, might I add – I'm committed to".

Later that day, Craig highlighted her support for women's sports, particularly focusing on the USA Women’s Bandy team. She mentioned assisting the team in retrieving their jerseys from customs, allowing them to compete successfully against Finland. Her tweet read, "It’s awesome to see women competing on the world stage, especially when they’re Minnesotans. So when USA Women’s Bandy called asking for help retrieving their jerseys held up at customs, we got to work! We managed to get them in time for Team USA to beat Finland on Tuesday –".

On March 27, Craig expressed concern over a security lapse involving Cabinet officials and journalists. She criticized the oversight where a journalist was unintentionally included in an unsecured group chat discussing sensitive U.S. war plans. She remarked on the severity of the situation, stating, "There are so many concerning parts of this, I don’t even know where to start. Cabinet officials accidentally let a journalist into their unsecured group chat and then let him go unnoticed for days while they messaged about U.S. war plans. The incompetence and recklessness are".
