LAX Leader

Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove, representing California's 37th district, recently shared her opinions on social media regarding political appointments and economic policies. Kamlager-Dove, who succeeded Karen Bass in Congress in 2023 and has previously served in the California State Assembly and Senate, often shares her perspectives on national issues.

On April 2, 2025, Kamlager-Dove commented on the selection of Defense Secretaries, implying dismissal for Hegseth and humorously suggesting that if football skills were the criteria for selection, preference should be given to a three-time Defensive Player of the Year. She tweeted, "Hegseth should be fired. But if we're picking Defense Secretaries based on how good they are at football, let's at least get a 3x Defensive Player of the Year in there."

A day later, on April 3, 2025, Kamlager-Dove criticized former President Trump's trade policies. In her morning tweet, she stated that the "temper tariffs" were ineffective and perilous and urged Republicans to acknowledge this as well. She remarked, "Everyone knows Trump’s temper tariffs are dumb and dangerous. But don't just take my word for it—ask Republicans!"

Later that day, she further elaborated on the economic impact of these tariffs, expressing concern about rising consumer costs. Her tweet read, "Trump’s Temper Tariffs will raise costs on all the sh*t you buy every day." This continuation emphasizes the direct effect of such tariffs on daily consumer expenses.
