Judy Chu, a member of the U.S. Congress representing California's 28th district since 2009, recently took to social media to express her views on various issues affecting her constituents and the broader public. On January 24, 2025, she voiced her opposition to a legislative proposal put forth by Republican lawmakers and shared updates regarding an upcoming briefing with President Trump.
On January 24, Chu criticized the Republicans' Reproductive Health Care Surveillance Act. In a tweet posted at 02:12 UTC, she stated: "Today, I spoke on the Floor against Republicans' Reproductive Health Care Surveillance Act. This bill peddles blatant falsehoods about abortion while ignoring the devastating human consequences of Trump abortion bans. I offered my Women's Health Protection Act in its place."
Later that day, at 20:18 UTC, Chu announced plans to attend a fire briefing with President Trump in Palisades. She expressed gratitude for his acceptance of her invitation but also disappointment over his itinerary choices: "Later today, I will join President Trump in Palisades for a Fire Briefing. I'm grateful he accepted my invitation last week to come to California but am extremely disappointed he's not visiting Altadena and northern Pasadena, devastated by the Eaton Fire."
On January 25 at 02:34 UTC, following the briefing in Pacific Palisades with President Trump, Chu reiterated her call for him to visit areas affected by the Eaton Fire: "At @POTUS's briefing in the Pacific Palisades, I urged him to visit Altadena & Pasadena to see the working class areas devastated by the Eaton Fire. 88-year-old activist Dr. Jackie Jacobs fled her home w/ nothing but her clothes on. Her federal government should have her back."
