Congressman Brad Sherman, representing California’s 32nd district since 1997, took to social media on January 29, 2025, to express concerns regarding actions attributed to former President Donald Trump. Sherman's tweets focused on the potential impact of these actions on disaster recovery efforts in Los Angeles.
In a tweet posted at 04:23 UTC, Sherman stated that "Trump is urging disaster workers to quit February 1st in the middle of our disaster recovery."
At 04:23:57 UTC the same day, Sherman elaborated on Trump's offer to federal employees. He mentioned that "Today, Trump offered nearly every civilian federal worker 8 months free pay if they’ll just quit their jobs. This applies to the EPA specialists who are making the Palisades safe by going in their hazmat suits & dealing with the lithium ion batteries & other hazardous materials."
Finally, at 04:24:44 UTC, Sherman addressed those working on Los Angeles's recovery efforts. He tweeted that while technically those who accept Trump's offer may need to work from home—a condition he described as "meaningless for disaster workers"—he appealed directly to them saying, "I appeal to those who are helping Los Angeles recover from these fires. We appreciate your work. Please don’t quit."
