Grace Meng, a U.S. Congress member representing New York’s 6th district since 2013, shared several thoughts and observations on social media regarding community events and economic concerns. Her recent posts cover topics from cultural celebrations to the rising costs of everyday goods.

On February 12, 2025, Meng expressed her pleasure in participating in a local cultural event: "An honor to join the Chinese American Parents Association (CAPA) at the Queens Public Library Lantern Festival!"

Later that day, she questioned the priorities concerning economic issues: "Wait, I thought the priority was lowering the costs of gas and groceries?" This post reflects her concern about current economic policies.

On February 13, 2025, Meng highlighted an increase in coffee prices: "The price of coffee is up 53% since last year." She noted efforts by USAID and Cornell University to make coffee more affordable through supply chain improvements. Meng criticized the administration's promises to lower costs without USAID's involvement.
