Rep. Juan Vargas, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing California’s 52nd district, has been vocal on social media regarding recent political developments. With a career that includes serving in both the California State Assembly and Senate, Vargas continues to engage with his constituents through platforms like Twitter.

On February 18, 2025, Vargas expressed concerns about Republican policies in a tweet: "Republicans are trying to gut vital programs like Medicaid and SNAP — all to hand trillions in tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations. This is Project 2025 in action. We'll fight back."

The following day, February 19, 2025, Vargas criticized Elon Musk's intentions regarding taxpayer information: "Elon Musk wants the financial information of every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country. The answer must be NO. An unelected billionaire should not be allowed to go through your IRS records – or those of his business competitors."

On February 20, 2025, Vargas highlighted a critical issue concerning legal representation for children: "This means that children are expected to show up in court, as of tomorrow, on their own, with no legal counsel, and try to defend themselves" followed by "26,000 innocent children, some too young to read or talk, are now without legal representation in court. Morally reprehensible."
