Rep. Mike Thompson, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing California’s 4th district, has recently addressed several significant issues through his social media platform. On February 20, 2025, he shared insights and calls to action concerning historical injustices, current administrative impacts, and community engagement.

On February 20, 2025, Rep. Thompson reflected on a pivotal moment in American history. "83 years ago, President Franklin Roosevelt signed EO 9066, wrongfully imprisoning over 120,000 Japanese Americans," he stated. He described the policy as "an unconscionable policy inspired by racism and fear." He emphasized the importance of honoring those affected on this Day of Remembrance and highlighted ongoing efforts to combat similar injustices.

Later that day at 20:27 UTC, Thompson addressed concerns regarding recent federal actions under the Trump Administration. "If the recent layoffs and funding freezes made by the Trump Administration have impacted the safety or well-being of you or someone you know," he urged constituents to share their experiences via a new portal established by Democrats.

Finally, at 22:02 UTC on February 20th, Rep. Thompson informed Sonoma County residents about changes to an upcoming event due to increased interest. "Due to high demand," he announced that Friday's town hall meeting had been relocated to a larger venue at the Santa Rosa Utilities Field Operations Training Center. He noted that admission would be based on a first-come-first-served basis for those who RSVP'd.
