On August 27, 2025, Brown expressed condolences following a tragic event in Minnesota: "Heartbroken by the horrific mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. My prayers are with the victims, their families, and the entire community as they face this unspeakable tragedy. We must never accept this as normal."

Later that day, she raised alarms about potential threats to Social Security information: "Trump, Elon, and the DOGE bros put YOUR Social Security data at risk." This statement was posted on August 28, 2025.

On August 28, 2025, Brown also commemorated an important moment in American history: "Today marks the 62nd anniversary of the March on Washington. We honor the legacies of the civil rights leaders who led this march. The work toward a more just and equal America continues."
