Later the same day, she addressed the potential implications of proposed public health sector staff reductions: “Cutting 10,000 @HHSGov employees won’t make America healthy. It leaves us less prepared to deal with outbreaks & pandemics, while hindering our leadership in scientific & medical research.” This statement reflects her concern over preparedness and leadership in health sectors. “Cutting 10,000 @HHSGov employees won’t make America healthy.

On the evening of April 4, 2025, Meng also commented on employment issues linked to the Internal Revenue Service, stating: “Firing IRS staff, especially in the middle of tax season, means delayed returns & long wait times. I stand with federal workers, like my constituent Juliet, who were unfairly terminated from their jobs despite working hard for the American people.” Her focus here was on taxpayer services and the livelihood of federal employees during critical periods. “Firing IRS staff, especially in the middle of tax season, means delayed returns & long wait times.
