Rep. Mike Thompson, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing California's 4th district since 1999, recently shared his thoughts and concerns on social media. Born in St Helena, California in 1951, Thompson has served his community for decades and is currently addressing issues related to federal funding and local wildlife.

On February 1, 2025, Rep. Mike Thompson expressed skepticism about the administration's claim that "any federal money required by law to be paid is being delivered without delay." He noted discrepancies between this statement and reports from constituents who have not received the federal funding they are owed. The projects affected range widely across different sectors ("I'm still hearing from constituents who are aren't receiving the federal funding they are owed.").

In a subsequent tweet on the same day, Rep. Thompson reached out to residents of California's Fourth District impacted by a federal funding freeze. He invited them to participate in a survey to communicate how they have been affected by this financial issue ("Are you a Fourth District resident impacted by the federal funding freeze? I want to hear from you.").

Later that day, Rep. Thompson shifted focus from fiscal matters to express appreciation for local wildlife. He highlighted the natural beauty present within his community as an uplifting aspect of daily life ("Always love seeing wildlife in our community, a beautiful reminder of the incredible nature we get to enjoy every day!").
