Rep. Juan Vargas, currently serving California's 52nd district in the U.S. Congress, has been vocal on social media about various political issues. His recent tweets address significant topics such as veterans' affairs, voting rights, and healthcare policies.
On March 5, 2025, Rep. Vargas criticized former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk for allegedly planning to dismiss a large number of Veterans Affairs employees. He stated: "Trump and Elon Musk want to fire 80,000 VA employees, making it harder for our veterans to get the care and benefits they've earned and deserve. What a disgraceful way to treat the people who put their lives on the line for our nation! We will fight this."
On March 6, 2025, he announced his participation in introducing new legislation aimed at protecting voting rights. He tweeted: "Generations of Americans marched, fought, and even died for the right to vote. I joined @RepTerriSewell & @HouseDemocrats to introduce the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act today to protect that fundamental right and stop restrictive voting laws from taking effect."
Later that day, Rep. Vargas addressed concerns regarding Medicaid policy changes by Republicans with a tweet stating: "You can't make it more clear than this. Despite what they've said, Republicans ARE trying to gut Medicaid."
