Ami Bera, M.D., a U.S. Congressman representing California's 6th district since 2013, has recently shared his views on various political issues through social media. His statements reflect his stance on education, government appointments, and Social Security.

On March 20, 2025, Bera addressed the topic of education in the United States. He criticized former President Donald Trump's efforts to dismantle the Department of Education. "Education is the foundation of success in our country," he stated, emphasizing that Trump's actions could jeopardize millions of students' futures across America. He called for legal action against what he termed an overreach and advocated for investing in students' futures.

The following day, March 21, 2025, Bera commented on a controversial appointment within the State Department. He highlighted that Darren Beattie was previously dismissed from Trump's administration due to attending a white nationalist conference but now holds a significant position at the State Department. "Beattie's well-documented history of making fringe and racist statements disqualifies him from representing our" country.

On March 22, 2025, Bera turned his attention to Social Security issues affecting seniors in America. He stressed its importance as a primary income source for many elderly citizens and warned about the severe consequences of missing payments. "Social Security is a lifeline for millions of seniors," he remarked, adding that such situations could lead to unpaid rent and skipped meals among other hardships.
