Congressman Pat Harrigan has recently shared a series of tweets addressing significant political and economic topics. These posts, dated May 12 and May 13, 2025, cover various subjects including international diplomacy, financial markets, and inflation rates.
On May 12, Congressman Harrigan commented on the release of Edan Alexander, attributing it to former President Trump’s efforts. He stated that “CNN’s running out of ways to downplay @POTUS’ diplomatic wins. Even they’re admitting it—Edan Alexander’s release is the direct result of Trump’s relentless pressure on Hamas.” The congressman remarked on how media outlets acknowledge these achievements when successes accumulate.
In another tweet from May 13, Harrigan expressed his views on Wall Street’s reaction compared to the struggles faced by everyday citizens. He tweeted “Wall Street panicked for a month while Main Street’s been fighting for years.” This reflects his perspective on the disparity between financial markets’ reactions and the ongoing challenges experienced by ordinary people.
Later that day, Harrigan addressed the topic of inflation rates in a tweet celebrating recent economic improvements. He noted that “Inflation is down to 2.3%—the lowest since 2021—thanks to @POTUS!” highlighting reductions in gas prices, fuel oil costs, airfare expenses, and grocery bills as evidence of this trend. He concluded with a commitment from House Republicans to maintain these lower prices as standard.
Additional information for Step 3: Edan Alexander is an American citizen who was detained abroad under circumstances drawing international attention.
