Grace Meng, a member of the U.S. Congress representing New York's 6th district, has recently shared her thoughts on social media regarding several significant events. Meng, who has been serving in Congress since 2013 after replacing Gary Ackerman, expressed her condolences and opinions on current affairs through a series of tweets.

On January 30, 2025, Meng addressed an aircraft collision near Reagan National Airport. In her tweet, she stated: "My thoughts & prayers are with the passengers & everyone impacted by the aircraft collision near Reagan National Airport tonight. As we continue to monitor the situation, I am grateful for all the first responders at this devastating scene."

Later that day, Meng commented on the president's response to a tragic event involving servicemember and civilian lives. She remarked: "Rather than leading the nation during a period of mourning, the president is exploiting this tragic loss of servicemember & civilian lives to fuel his anti-diversity agenda. This is not the time for the blame game. My heart is with the families & loved ones of all 67 victims."

On January 31, 2025, Meng shared her enthusiasm about a new community project in Queens. She tweeted: "Featuring a food pantry, community spaces, a library, offices, a play area and more the new CRECE Family Enrichment Center will be an essential gathering space in Queens. I look forward to welcoming our community into the center soon!"
