Judy Chu, a member of the U.S. Congress representing California's 28th district since 2009, recently expressed her views on significant issues through a series of tweets. Chu has been vocal about reproductive rights, citizenship laws, and community resilience in the face of adversity.

On January 22, 2025, Judy Chu marked what would have been the 52nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade by criticizing the Supreme Court's decision to allow states to enact abortion bans. She stated: "Today would have marked 52 years of Roe v. Wade, but the extremist Supreme Court majority allowed states to enact abortion bans, endangering lives and denying our rights." Chu emphasized her commitment to ensuring that abortion care is accessible nationwide.

Later that day, Chu addressed an executive order concerning birthright citizenship. She tweeted: "If you are born in the U.S., you are a citizen—no matter your parents' status. The President's order to end birthright citizenship defies the Constitution." She urged readers to review her full statement on this constitutional issue.

In another tweet on January 22, 2025, Chu expressed gratitude towards LAist journalist Yusra for covering the story of Masjid Al-Taqwa. She wrote: "Thank you to @LAist's @ByYusra for writing about Masjid Al-Taqwa, the first mosque in the Altadena-Pasadena area, which we tragically lost in the Eaton fires." Chu highlighted the inspiring resilience and spirit of the affected community.
