Rep. Mike Thompson, a member of the U.S. Congress representing California's 4th district, has been actively engaging with his constituents and followers through social media on various issues. His recent tweets address legislative achievements, social justice concerns, and advancements in agricultural research.

On November 24, 2024, Rep. Mike Thompson expressed his support for the Social Security Fairness Act by stating: "I’m proud to have voted for the Social Security Fairness Act, which eliminates the WEP and GPO provisions that unfairly affect retired teachers, first responders, and government employees receiving social security benefits."

The following day, on November 25, 2024, he highlighted an important social issue by tweeting: "Nearly one in three women will experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime. There is #NoExcuse On International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, we recommit to ending this cycle —because every woman deserves to live free from violence." This tweet underscores his commitment to addressing violence against women.

Later that same day, Rep. Thompson congratulated two institutions on a significant milestone: "Congratulations to @USDA_ARS and @UCDavis on the groundbreaking of your new Agricultural Research and Technology Center.
