Sydney Kamlager-Dove, a U.S. Congresswoman representing California's 37th district, has shared her views on several pressing issues through a series of tweets. These messages touch upon historical reflection, international policy, and the role of sports in cultural diplomacy.

On February 19, 2025, Kamlager-Dove reflected on the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. She stated: "Today, we reflect on one of the darkest moments in our nation’s history—the internment of 120,000 Japanese Americans during WWII. On this Day of Remembrance, we must learn from this painful chapter to ensure it never happens again."

Later that day, she addressed international relations with Russia and Ukraine by criticizing certain foreign policy approaches. She tweeted: "Giving Putin exactly what he wants while trashing Ukraine isn’t 'ending the war.' This is what a Russia First policy looks like."

On February 20, 2025, Kamlager-Dove emphasized the importance of sports diplomacy as a means to foster cross-cultural connections. She expressed hope that former President Donald Trump would recognize the economic benefits of immigration and diversity: "Sports diplomacy is a key way to build bridges across cultures. I hope Donald Trump does some math and realizes that immigration and diversity are good for our economy—and for sports."
