Judy Chu, a member of the U.S. Congress representing California's 28th district, has recently taken to social media to express her concerns about current political developments. Her comments on various issues were shared through a series of tweets on February 14, 2025.

In one tweet posted at 03:17:55 UTC, Chu criticized the Republican budget plan, describing it as a "reverse Robin Hood budget." She stated that she and her colleagues in the House Budget Democrats spent twelve hours proposing improvements that were ultimately rejected by the Republican majority.

Later that day, at 19:33:21 UTC, Chu addressed economic concerns related to proposed funding caps by prominent figures such as Elon Musk and Donald Trump. She highlighted potential adverse effects on California’s research and development industry due to a proposed 15% cap on certain costs at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). According to Chu, this could jeopardize life sciences jobs and economic output while affecting millions of patients relying on related services. "Musk's and Trump's math doesn’t add up."

In another tweet at 21:15:38 UTC, Judy Chu promoted an episode she recorded with Representative Lizzie Fletcher for Madame Congress—a podcast by the Democratic Women's Caucus—focusing on reproductive rights and maintaining hope during uncertain times. She encouraged listeners to tune in for insights shared during their discussion. "Need something to play on a long road trip this holiday weekend...?"
