On January 24, 2025, Congresswoman Ross commented on the impact of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

Later that day, she discussed FEMA's role in disaster recovery following Hurricane Helene. In a tweet posted at 17:43 UTC, she expressed appreciation for FEMA's partnership but voiced concerns over potential changes proposed by President Trump. She noted that "eliminating FEMA would be a disaster for our state."

In another post made at 18:46 UTC on the same day, Congresswoman Ross criticized President Trump's initial actions upon taking office. She highlighted his decision to pardon supporters involved in violent acts against police officers and remarked on his lack of initiatives aimed at reducing costs for Americans. She tweeted that he "still hasn't done anything to meaningfully benefit Americans."
