In a tweet posted on January 22, 2025, at 02:01:42 UTC, Rep. Carbajal criticized the influence of Citizens United on Republican priorities. He stated: “Thanks to Citizens United, Republicans put their donors’ profits over people time and time again.” He argued that Republicans prioritize tax breaks for wealthy individuals and corporations over addressing rising prices and called for reform with the hashtag #EndCitizensUnited.
Later that day at 16:02:16 UTC, Carbajal reflected on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. In his tweet he noted: “As we reflect on this 52nd #RoevWade anniversary, the third without Roe, the need for nationwide protection of the right to abortion is evident.” He expressed pride in his collaboration with @ReproCaucus to restore and protect reproductive freedom.
In another post made at 21:39:19 UTC on the same day, Carbajal addressed President Trump regarding citizenship rights under the Constitution.
