John Garamendi, a member of the U.S. Congress representing California's 8th district since 2009, recently expressed strong opinions regarding national security issues on social media. He has previously served in both the California State Assembly and Senate. His educational background includes degrees from the University of California, Berkeley, and Harvard University.

On March 24, 2025, Garamendi shared his views on social media stating "This is as horrifying as it is stupid. Trump's ignorance and incompetence have reached the highest levels of our national security. The American people deserve to know how this insanity happened. Drop this culture war nonsense and learn how to protect our national security!"

The following day, March 25, 2025, he criticized actions taken by former President Trump and Pete Hegseth: "Trump and Hegseth failed our troops, our national security and embarrassed our country. This recklessness put our troops in harms way and everyone responsible must be held accountable."

Later that same day, Garamendi reiterated his call for accountability on television: "Trump and Hegseth have embarrassed the country by leaking war plans. Watch me on @NewsNation call for accountability."
