Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove, who represents California’s 37th district in the U.S. Congress, posted a series of tweets on February 15 and 16, 2026, addressing recent political developments and sharing personal commentary.
On February 15, Kamlager-Dove criticized Republican lawmakers and former President Donald Trump regarding the shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security. She wrote, “The Department of Homeland Security shut down yesterday because Trump and Republicans refuse to negotiate commonsense reforms to rein in ICE. I will keep fighting for accountability—and I won’t let up until we get it.”
The following day, she commented on Presidents’ Day with a pointed message: “Happy Presidents’ Day to everybody except Donald Trump” (February 16, 2026).
Later that same day, Kamlager-Dove tweeted about Culver City, stating: “Don’t come for Culver City unless we send for you.” (February 16, 2026).
