Congressman Seth Magaziner, representing Rhode Island’s 2nd district since 2023, recently addressed various issues through a series of tweets. His statements focused on local and national concerns, including the empowerment of women and girls, consumer protection, and support for small businesses.

On February 11, 2025, Congressman Magaziner expressed concern over the future of Plan USA International, a Providence-based nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering women and girls worldwide through education. He attributed the organization's uncertain future to "Trump & Musk’s power grab," stating that "Rhode Islanders are fed up with the chaos."

Later that day, Magaziner highlighted his experience as a former state treasurer to emphasize ongoing threats from "grifters and scammers" exploiting working people. He defended the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), asserting its role in protecting American consumers against such threats. He warned that "Trump and Musk want to dismantle it."

On February 12, 2025, Congressman Magaziner turned his attention to Rhode Island's economy. Emphasizing the importance of small businesses, he announced his collaboration with the Rhode Island Small Business Development Center (@RISBDC) team to explore ways to support entrepreneurs. His goal is to foster job creation and enhance living standards in Rhode Island: "I’m working with the @RISBDC team today to discuss how we can help entrepreneurs thrive."
