Rep. Shontel Brown, representing Ohio's 11th district in the U.S. Congress, has recently expressed concerns over actions taken by former President Donald Trump and House Republicans regarding economic policies and social programs. Through a series of tweets, she highlighted what she perceives as negative impacts on cost reduction efforts and social security measures.
On February 10, 2025, Rep. Brown tweeted her disapproval of Trump and House Republicans' failure to lower costs, stating: "Trump and House Republicans claimed they would lower costs. But after a month, they have not done a single thing to bring down prices. Instead, they’ve given Musk access to the personal data of millions and empowered him to go after Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security."
In another tweet dated February 11, 2025, she addressed concerns about Trump and Elon Musk's intentions towards financial regulatory bodies: "Trump and Musk are trying to dismantle the CFPB - making it easier for Wall Street to rip people off. Let's break it down." The tweet was accompanied by a link presumably providing further analysis or information.
Later on February 11, Rep. Brown criticized President Trump's policy changes affecting drug pricing: "On President Trump’s first day he ended programs to lower drug prices for people on Medicare and Medicaid started by President Biden. I’m leading the effort to demand answers from the White House on why they’re *raising* drug prices instead of lowering them." She indicated her leadership role in seeking accountability from the current administration.
