Grace Meng, a U.S. Congresswoman representing New York’s 6th district, has been active on social media addressing various issues and events. Her recent tweets reflect her engagement with both international and local matters.

On February 20, 2025, Meng expressed sorrow over the tragic deaths of Kfir, Ariel, Shiri Bibas, and Oded Lifshitz. In her tweet she stated: “My heart breaks for the families of Kfir, Ariel, & Shiri Bibas, and Oded Lifshitz as Israel receives their remains today. Kfir was just 9 months old when he & his family were taken hostage. Their horrific murders are a tragic reminder of Hamas’s terror & brutality.”

The following day, on February 21, Meng announced an opportunity for constituents to engage with her office directly. She tweeted: “Weekend Office Hours: 2/23 My team & I are hosting weekend office hours this Sunday, February 23, 10am-1pm, at my Northeast Queens District Office! Stop by to ask questions & receive assistance with federal agencies like the IRS, VA, Social Security, & more.” This initiative is part of her ongoing efforts to maintain open communication with those she represents.

In another tweet from February 21st, Meng reaffirmed her commitment to supporting first responders affected by the aftermath of September 11 attacks. She stated: “We made a promise to care for the brave first responders who answered the call on 9/11. We cannot let DOGE break that commitment to the @FDNY firefighters battling cancer in its aftermath.” Her statement highlights concerns about maintaining support for FDNY firefighters dealing with health issues linked to their service during that period.
