Rep. Jimmy Gomez, currently serving California’s 34th district in the U.S. Congress, recently posted a series of tweets discussing various political issues. In his April 15 tweets, he announced events and commented on actions by the Trump administration, prescription drug tariffs, and IRS enforcement budget cuts.

On April 15, 2025, Gomez informed his followers about an upcoming Zoom town hall event aimed at addressing recent actions by the Trump administration. He urged constituents to join and promised to share how he is "pushing back in Congress to protect our communities." Participants were invited to submit their questions using an RSVP form provided in the tweet.

Later that day, Gomez addressed the issue of prescription drug tariffs. Gomez highlighted concerns over President Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on medications, which he claimed would increase costs for families already struggling to afford them. He characterized these tariffs as detrimental to public health.

In another tweet on the same day, Gomez noted the financial implications of cutting IRS enforcement. He stated that for every dollar cut from IRS enforcement, there could be a significant loss in revenue. He criticized these cuts as a means to facilitate tax avoidance for billionaires.

Jimmy Gomez has served in the U.S. Congress, representing California's 34th District, since 2017. He previously served in the California State Assembly from 2012 to 2017.
