Rep. Summer Lee, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Pennsylvania's 12th district, has recently shared her views on social media regarding various political and economic issues. Her tweets reflect her critical stance on current policies and their implications for everyday citizens.

On March 4, 2025, Rep. Summer Lee expressed skepticism about political statements versus actions in her tweet: "The real state of the union is not about what they say, it’s about what they do."

In a subsequent post on March 5, 2025, she criticized tax breaks for billionaires while vulnerable populations face challenges maintaining Medicaid benefits. She tweeted: "You know what's inefficient? Handing out tax breaks to billionaires while seniors, children & people with disabilities struggle to keep their Medicaid." She further commented on the irony of policy proposals that seem to undermine essential services.

Later that day, Rep. Lee addressed the economic impact of tariffs imposed by former President Trump. In her tweet she stated: "Trump's tariffs will raise prices and make everyday essentials even harder to afford." She highlighted the discrepancy between promises made to lower costs and the reality faced by consumers.
