Rep. Salud Carbajal, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing California’s 24th district since 2017, recently shared updates on infrastructure investments and raised concerns about government oversight through a series of tweets.

On January 25, 2025, Rep. Carbajal tweeted about his visit to Goleta to highlight an “$11 million investment in walkable infrastructure.” He noted that “thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law,” a new pedestrian underpass would “connect residents in Old Town Goleta to expanded education, employment, and housing opportunities.” The full tweet can be viewed here.

In a follow-up tweet posted shortly after, Rep. Carbajal provided additional information by sharing a link for readers to “learn more” about the project. The tweet is accessible here.

Later that day, Rep. Carbajal addressed issues concerning government oversight by criticizing former President Donald Trump for firing over twelve agency watchdogs responsible for protecting taxpayers from waste, fraud, and abuse. He pointed out that Trump was legally required to explain these dismissals but had not done so. The congressman questioned why such actions were taken “in the middle of the night,” implying potential motives behind these firings. This tweet can be found here.
