Congressman Brad Sherman, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing California's 32nd district since 1997, shared a series of tweets on January 30, 2025. These tweets addressed issues related to federal employment policies and community support following natural disasters.
In his first tweet, Sherman highlighted the hiring practices of the federal government, stating that "The federal government hires tens of thousands of temporary employees, including many thousands hired by FEMA to deal with particular disasters." This post was made at 00:58:55 UTC.
Following this, Sherman criticized a policy from the Trump administration regarding temporary employees. He stated that "Now the Trump administration has told these temporary employees that they can be paid for eight months while being on vacation. And all they lose is their temporary job that might have lasted for less than eight months anyway." This tweet was posted at 00:58:56 UTC.
Later in the day, Sherman expressed gratitude towards key officials who assessed fire damage in Palisades. He tweeted at 04:31:19 UTC, "Thank you to Leader @RepJeffries, @WhipClark, @PeteAguilar, @RepTedLieu and other key officials as they surveyed the scope of the Palisades fire damage. It is critical that the community devastated by the fires receives support they urgently need to recover."
