Mark DeSaulnier, a U.S. Congressman representing California's 10th district, has voiced concerns over recent actions by the Administration through a series of tweets. DeSaulnier has been serving in Congress since 2015, succeeding George Miller. He previously held positions in the California State Assembly and Senate, as well as on the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors.

On January 28, 2025, DeSaulnier expressed his disapproval regarding what he describes as an attempt by the Administration to "illegally freeze funding for programs" that include veterans' services, FEMA, school lunches for children, public safety initiatives, and meals for seniors. He warned that this action would adversely affect individuals across both red and blue states and should not be permitted to continue. "The Administration is trying to illegally freeze funding for programs including: Veterans’ services FEMA Kids’ school lunches Public safety Meals for seniors This overstep will harm people in red & blue states across the country & must not be allowed to stand."

On January 29, 2025, DeSaulnier shared links related to his ongoing discussions about executive orders from the Administration without providing additional commentary or context in this tweet. "https://t.co/ezLJcox4AW https://t.co/yu7ZiPctdy (2/2)."

In another tweet on January 29, 2025, DeSaulnier acknowledged widespread concern regarding executive orders issued by the Administration. He announced plans to discuss these issues further at an upcoming town hall meeting scheduled for Thursday. Due to high interest and capacity limits at the venue, he invited constituents to join virtually via Facebook or YouTube live streams. "Like many of you, I'm concerned about the executive orders the Administration continues to roll out. I’ll be discussing the path forward at our town hall this Thursday. We’ve reached capacity, so if you’d like to join us virtually, you can watch live on Facebook or YouTube (1/2)"
