Rep. Kim Schrier, M.D., a U.S. Congress member representing Washington’s 8th district, has recently shared her thoughts and initiatives on social media. Her tweets address issues ranging from public health preparedness to political accountability and constituent services.

On February 20, 2025, Rep. Schrier emphasized the importance of diagnostics in public health preparedness by introducing a bipartisan bill aimed at enhancing clinical and diagnostic laboratory testing capacity. She stated, "Diagnostics are an essential part of our public health preparedness and are key to confronting illnesses from the seasonal flu to new, emerging threats."

The following day, February 21, 2025, she expressed gratitude towards Rep. Don Bacon for criticizing former President Trump regarding his statements about Vladimir Putin. Schrier tweeted her support for more Republicans who stand up for truth and allies: "Thank you, @RepDonBacon, for calling out President Trump on his lies and his carrying water for war criminal Putin."

Later that day, she offered assistance to constituents experiencing difficulties with federal agencies such as the IRS or Social Security Administration through her office's casework team. She encouraged individuals needing help to reach out via phone or online link: "Are you having trouble with a federal agency like the IRS, VA, or Social Security? If so, my office may be able to help!"
