Congressman Seth Magaziner, representing Rhode Island's 2nd district since 2023, has recently addressed several issues through his social media platform. His statements cover a range of topics from international relations to domestic policy reforms.

On December 11, 2024, Congressman Magaziner questioned Tulsi Gabbard's stance on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. He stated: "Assad gassed his own people and is closely aligned with Vladimir Putin, who is an adversary of the United States. This goes without saying, but Assad does not have America’s best interest at heart. Why is Tulsi Gabbard unwilling to say so?"

Later that day, he addressed wage theft legislation by highlighting discrepancies in current laws regarding theft penalties. On December 11, 2024, he tweeted: "Under current law, someone can face jail time for stealing a television from BestBuy, but not for stealing wages worth far more than a television out of a worker’s pocket. This needs to change, & I introduced the #DontSTEALAct to fix it. Thank you @RepMarkPocan for your support."

On December 12, 2024, Congressman Magaziner focused on consumer protection issues related to illegal fees charged by credit repair companies. He shared: "Over 4.3 million Americans seeking to repair their credit have been charged illegal fees by companies. Thanks to the @CFPB, over $5 million is being returned to Rhode Islanders who have been taken advantage of by bad actors. We must protect the CFPB."
