Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove, representing California's 37th district, has recently voiced her concerns on social media regarding actions taken by former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. In a series of tweets, she addressed issues related to USAID, government control, and foreign aid.
On February 3, 2025, Kamlager-Dove expressed alarm over what she described as "Trump & Elon’s illegal efforts to dissolve USAID," warning that such actions could weaken America's global influence and increase vulnerability. She stated that these moves have made the country "weaker, more vulnerable, and more isolated" in just two weeks. Her full statement can be accessed here.
Later the same day, Kamlager-Dove tweeted about the Democratic response to what she termed as a "hostile takeover of the government" by Trump and Musk. She criticized the potential for an "unelected billionaire bureaucrat" to access private data or control financial resources like those of the U.S. Treasury. She announced her support for legislation aimed at stopping these actions. More details are available here.
On February 4, 2025, Kamlager-Dove highlighted concerns about a federal funding freeze initiated by Trump. While acknowledging that some aspects might be paused, she emphasized that the freeze on foreign aid persists. According to her tweet, this ongoing situation jeopardizes international relationships and national security. The full post can be found here.
