Rep. Melanie Stansbury, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing New Mexico’s 1st district, shared a series of tweets on January 29, 2025, addressing issues related to federal funding and its impact on American citizens.

In her first tweet posted at 16:08 UTC, Rep. Stansbury criticized the White House for dismissing concerns about a federal funding freeze as a "hoax." She stated that the freeze had caused chaos for millions of Americans and emphasized accountability by saying, "Dude, we have the receipts. And, it’s your own memo. We will not be gaslit."

Later that day at 19:08 UTC, she tweeted about political resilience and activism, asserting that victories are possible through collective action. She expressed confidence in recent achievements but warned of future challenges by stating, "When we fight, we win. This is a win for the American people." She urged continued organization and mobilization to counter potential setbacks.

At 20:02 UTC on the same day, Rep. Stansbury commented on public anxiety over job security and access to essential services following the funding issues. She referenced Elon Musk's involvement in decision-making processes and criticized his perceived disregard for public welfare with the statement, "This is who’s running the show. They do not care who they hurt or how many suffer." Her message underscored a commitment to opposing policies she views as harmful.
