Judy Chu, a member of the U.S. Congress representing California's 28th district, has been actively engaging with constituents and addressing significant political issues through her social media presence. Her recent tweets provide insight into her ongoing efforts to advocate for the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities and oppose legislative measures she deems harmful.

On November 20, 2024, Judy Chu participated in a year-end briefing organized by the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies (APAICS). During this event, she discussed strategies for AANHPIs to navigate potential challenges under a second Trump administration. Chu emphasized that "we have lessons learned to protect our communities from incoming attacks." "I joined @APAICS today for its year-end briefing..."

The following day, on November 21, 2024, Chu addressed her constituents directly via Twitter. She expressed her commitment to opposing H.R. 9495—a bill she believes could grant excessive power to former President Trump. As a member of the Ways and Means Committee, she voiced strong opposition on the House Floor and urged colleagues to vote against it. "To my constituents: I've heard from you all week..."

Later on November 21, Chu commented succinctly on certain nominees' considerations without specifying further details in her tweet. She suggested that these individuals might choose to withdraw their nominations voluntarily. "Or these nominees can just rightfully withdraw their names from consideration."
