Rep. Salud Carbajal, representing California’s 24th district in the U.S. Congress, has recently expressed his views on several pressing issues via social media. In a series of tweets, Carbajal addresses topics ranging from firefighter training to international aid.
On March 11, 2025, Carbajal criticized remarks by Donald Trump and Elon Musk regarding firefighter training programs conducted by FEMA. He highlighted the importance of such training amidst recent wildfires, stating “Donald Trump and Elon Musk have deemed firefighter training by @FEMA government waste—tell that to the families, individuals, and businesses devastated by recent wildfires.” He further emphasized the role of the National Fire Academy in equipping first responders with essential skills.
Later that day, Carbajal took a stand against a Republican funding bill. At 23:00 UTC on March 11, he tweeted about his opposition to the legislation: “Today, I strongly opposed and voted no on the partisan Republican funding bill.” He encouraged followers to read his full statement for more details.
On March 12, 2025, at 13:47 UTC, Rep. Carbajal commented on international relations concerning Ukraine. Expressing approval of a ceasefire and resumption of aid under the Trump Administration while criticizing prior actions, he tweeted “A 30-day ceasefire and the Trump Administration restarting aid to Ukraine is good news. But let’s be clear—aid shouldn’t have been paused in the first place.” He stressed that allies should not be used as leverage in negotiations.
