Rep. Mike Thompson, currently a member of the U.S. Congress representing California’s 4th district, recently shared his views on several issues through a series of tweets. Thompson has been active in Congress since 1999 and continues to engage with key policy issues. The tweets address significant federal decisions regarding social security services and gun regulations, as well as provide insights on recent changes in IRS funding.

On March 27, 2025, Rep. Thompson posted "Thank you to every American across our country who raised their voice against the Trump Administration’s canceling of Social Security phone services for disabled people. Thanks to you, the Administration is pausing these harmful cuts. Keep it up." Thompson acknowledged the role of public advocacy in influencing the administration's decision to pause the proposed cuts to Social Security services for individuals with disabilities.

Later that same day, he commented on a Supreme Court ruling, stating "Good news! The Supreme Court (7 to 2 vote) agrees with the American people that untraceable Ghost Guns are, in fact, guns. This ruling makes it more difficult for bad people to get untraceable guns." Thompson highlighted the significance of the ruling in terms of gun control and public safety, reflecting the Supreme Court's stance on the classification of "Ghost Guns."

Another tweet, dated March 28, 2025, addressed budgetary decisions with implications for tax revenue: "#FactCheckFriday DOGE claims the cuts they are making to the IRS will increase efficiency and revenue. FACT: Officials at the IRS and Treasury Department are anticipating tax revenue to drop more than 10 percent by April 15th compared with last year. Officials say the prediction" In this tweet, Thompson raised concerns about the prospective decrease in tax revenue as a result of funding changes to the IRS.
