Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a U.S. Congresswoman representing California’s 18th district since 1995, posted several statements on her social media account on November 13, 2025, addressing inflation under former President Donald Trump and responding to political developments involving Rep. Eric Swalwell.
In a post at 6:21 p.m., Lofgren encouraged followers to “Listen to the full interview: https://t.co/pEZisKB7PZ”.
Later that evening at 8:08 p.m., she referenced a report from the Joint Economic Committee Democrats (JECDems), stating: “The new @JECDems report shows the average California family paid $1,112 more for the same products due to inflation in Trump’s first 8 months. Trump’s disastrous policies and trade war are hurting Americans’ pocketbooks in every single state.”
At 8:40 p.m., Lofgren commented on actions by former President Trump against critics within government, writing: “Donald Trump is once again weaponizing government to punish those who speak out against his dangerous and disastrous policies. He should know my colleague @RepSwalwell is someone who never backs down or bends the knee to a tyrant. https://t.co/dZt0BxMKdc”
