Representative Richard Neal has been active on social media, sharing insights into his recent activities and opinions. Neal, who represents Massachusetts' 1st district in the U.S. Congress, announced a significant grant for Springfield and expressed concerns about ongoing trade policies.

On January 31, 2025, Neal tweeted about a substantial environmental initiative: "This week, I joined Mayor Sarno and Superintendent Dinnall to announce a $10 million grant from the @EPA for Springfield to acquire a fleet of zero-emission school buses." He attributed this development to the Inflation Reduction Act, highlighting its positive impact across various communities.

In another tweet dated February 3, 2025, Neal voiced his concerns over trade policies initiated by former President Trump. He stated that "Nobody wins a trade war, and the American people will pay the price." According to Neal, economists predict an average increase of over $800 in costs for Americans due to these policies.

Later on February 3rd, he commented on market reactions to presidential decisions: "The president created this chaos, got spooked by the markets, and immediately folded." He expressed skepticism about trusting temporary pauses in such high-stakes situations.
