Judy Chu, a member of the U.S. Congress representing California's 28th district, recently shared her thoughts on several pressing issues via social media. Serving in Congress since 2009, Chu has been an active voice on matters affecting both her constituents and the nation.

On March 7, 2025, Judy Chu expressed concern over potential threats to Social Security benefits. In a tweet, she stated, "Trump & Musk are taking a wrecking ball to @SocialSecurity. They're threatening YOUR benefits for the first time in the program's 90 year existence." She emphasized the need for just three Republican votes to prevent these changes.

Reflecting on historical events, Chu commemorated the anniversary of a significant civil rights movement milestone later that day. On March 7, 2025, she tweeted about the Selma marchers' struggle for voting rights: "60 years ago today, marchers in Selma, AL, faced brutal police violence while demanding voting rights for Black Americans." She highlighted how their efforts contributed to the passage of the Voting Rights Act and continue to inspire ongoing efforts to protect voting rights.

In another post on March 7, 2025, Chu criticized an official decision related to water management amid environmental concerns. She claimed that reservoir water was released without any benefit to Los Angeles or wildfire prevention: "Just to appease Trump, an official released reservoir water he KNOWS won't reach Los Angeles and won't do anything to help us fight wildfires." She called for accountability from her Republican colleagues regarding waste and misuse of resources.
