LAX Leader

Rep. Jimmy Gomez, a U.S. Congressman representing California's 34th district, shared his thoughts and actions on various subjects through a series of tweets on April 9, 2025. The tweets encompassed topics ranging from sports celebrations to international trade concerns.

In his first tweet, published at 12:59 PM, Rep. Gomez expressed excitement over encountering Tyler Glasnow and other members of the Los Angeles Dodgers at Capitol Hill the previous day. He highlighted his forthcoming resolution to honor the team’s achievements. "Great seeing Pitcher @GlasnowT and the @Dodgers on Capitol Hill yesterday! I’m leading a resolution to honor their 8th World Series win and the incredible impact they’ve had on LA — on and off the field. #LetsGoDodgers"

By 6:38 PM, Gomez’s focus had shifted towards querying the identification of the current U.S. Trade Representative, making a discreet critique of the individual holding the title. "So who’s the U.S. Trade Representative? Not the person with @USTradeRep title."

Later, at 6:50 PM, he criticized the tariffs implemented by former President Trump, listing several everyday items potentially affected by price hikes. Gomez mentioned the European Union’s retaliatory tariffs, which he argued would affect American consumers. "Trump’s dumb tariffs will mean higher prices for: wine cheese medicine ice cream auto parts Now the EU’s retaliating with $23B in tariffs — and it’s American families who’ll feel it at checkout. No plan. No foresight. Just Trump chaos."
