Deb Haaland, former U.S. Secretary of the Interior and current public figure, posted a series of statements on her Twitter account on December 2, 2025, addressing economic concerns faced by American families and reflecting on her own experiences.
In a tweet published at 01:14 UTC, Haaland stated, "The holiday season should be a time for joy , not fear. I know what it’s like to worry about where your child’s next meal will come from. We need to do better. On day one, we’ll get to work lowering costs, raising pay, and making sure no family has to worry about their next meal."
Later that day at 19:06 UTC, she referenced her tenure as Secretary of the Interior and highlighted efforts to promote clean energy projects in New Mexico. Haaland wrote, "As Secretary, I engaged with local communities and cut the red tape to put shovels in the ground and move SunZia forward. From driving down costs to creating good-paying jobs right here in our state, clean energy projects are a game-changer for families." The SunZia project is a major transmission line initiative intended to deliver renewable energy from New Mexico to markets in Arizona and California.
At 23:37 UTC the same day, Haaland criticized former President Donald Trump regarding his understanding of everyday financial struggles faced by Americans. She posted, "President Trump has never had to go to the grocery store, much less worry about paying the bills. He doesn't know the struggles people feel, and he's gaslighting all of us."
Haaland's remarks reflect ongoing national debates over economic inequality and access to basic needs such as food security and affordable living expenses. Her comments also reference recent initiatives focused on expanding clean energy infrastructure as a means of job creation and cost reduction for local communities.
