Rep. Jimmy Gomez, a representative of California's 34th district in the U.S. Congress, took to social media to express his concerns over current political actions and their wider implications. His posts, made on April 15 and 16, 2025, addressed issues ranging from the deportation of a legal U.S. resident to attacks on Social Security benefits and criticisms of budget cuts impacting children reliant on federal assistance.

On April 15, 2025, Jimmy Gomez highlighted legal matters involving former President Trump, stating "Trump deported a legal U.S. resident and is openly defying the Supreme Court’s ruling. This isn’t just about one man — it’s about whether the rule of law and due process still matter in this country. If not, no American is safe."

Later that day, Gomez continued to critique actions taken regarding Social Security benefits, specifically mentioning Elon Musk alongside Trump: "Trump & Elon Musk are still coming after our Social Security benefits. DOGE cuts to SSA threaten $116 million in monthly benefits in our district, including those seniors, children & surviving spouses have earned. All so billionaires can get another tax break they don't need."

On April 16, 2025, Gomez clarified his stance on fiscal priorities affecting families in the United States. He expressed his views on Republican budget plans by stating: "Republicans say they’re pro-family and back the Child Tax Credit— but their budget slashes Medicaid and food assistance millions of children rely on. You can’t call yourself “pro-family” while selling them out for a tax break for billionaires."

Jimmy Gomez is currently serving in the U.S. Congress, representing California’s 34th district. He replaced previous U.S Congress member Xavier Becerra in 2017.
