John Garamendi, a member of the U.S. Congress representing California's 8th district, shared his perspectives on recent political events through a series of tweets on March 4, 2025. These posts focus on President Trump's policies and their implications.

In one tweet from March 4, Garamendi expressed skepticism about President Trump's joint address to Congress, stating that it would consist of "lies, lies and more lies." He criticized Trump's actions since taking office, mentioning that he had pardoned violent January 6 rioters, abandoned allies, and negatively impacted the economy. Garamendi asserted that "Democrats work for the American people — not Musk or Putin."

Later in the day, Garamendi recalled an incident involving Trump and Republicans blaming California Democrats for wildfires in Los Angeles earlier this year. He accused them of threatening to condition disaster aid based on political considerations. Furthermore, he noted that "Trump and Republicans just blocked pay raises for firefighters," suggesting they do not prioritize public safety.

Garamendi also highlighted concerns regarding potential cuts to education funding under President Trump’s administration. He warned that "7.5 million students with disabilities will lose access to special education services funded by the federal government if Trump guts the U.S. Department of Education." This statement underscores his advocacy for maintaining support for vulnerable student populations.
