Rep. Jimmy Gomez, a U.S. Congressman representing California’s 34th district since 2017, has used his social media platform to voice concerns about former President Donald Trump’s actions and policies in early April 2026.

On April 2, Gomez announced new legislation: “I introduced a bill to block Trump from putting his signature on US currency. Trump already wants to slap his name on buildings, airports, & now the dollar bill, but no president can be allowed to use the nation’s currency to personally promote themself.”

Later that day, Gomez criticized Pam Bondi’s tenure at the Justice Department: “Pam Bondi turned the Justice Department into Donald Trump’s personal revenge machine. She went after his political enemies, protected Trump allies, and buried the Epstein files to shield her boss. When Democrats take back the majority, we will investigate her actions and hold her”.

On April 3, Gomez addressed proposed federal budget changes: “Trump wants working families to pay for his wars. He’s proposing the biggest military budget since WWII and slashing housing, health care, and food assistance to fund it. Trump has never had to worry about paying the bills. Working families do.”

Gomez succeeded Xavier Becerra in Congress in 2017 and previously served in the California State Assembly from 2012 until joining Congress. Born in Orange County in 1974 and currently residing in Los Angeles, Gomez holds a BA from UCLA.
