LAX Leader

Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove, representing California's 37th district in the U.S. Congress, has been vocal on social media regarding various political and cultural issues. Her recent tweets cover topics from political strategy to cultural celebrations.

On February 9, 2025, Kamlager-Dove addressed the political dynamics involving prominent figures like Elon Musk and Donald Trump. She stated that Democrats possess leverage against these individuals due to Mike Johnson's reliance on their votes for substantive accomplishments. The congresswoman emphasized the need for discipline and unity among Democrats to effectively serve the American people. "Democrats have leverage to fight back against Musk & Trump—Mike Johnson hasn’t been able to accomplish anything substantive without our votes."

Later that day, she called for the dismissal of Darren Beattie from his position as Undersecretary at the State Department. She criticized Beattie as a "white nationalist" with a history of promoting antisemitic, misogynistic, and racist views, questioning his appointment by former President Trump as a representative of American values and culture globally. "Darren Beattie needs to be fired."

In another tweet posted on February 9, 2025, Kamlager-Dove highlighted the importance of celebrating Black history and joy amidst challenging times. She referenced Kendrick Lamar and Beyoncé's successes at the Grammys as moments worth celebrating and expressed her anticipation for Kendrick Lamar's upcoming performance in Los Angeles. "At times like these, we have to find moments to celebrate Black history and experience Black joy."
