Mark DeSaulnier, a U.S. Congressman representing California's 10th district since 2015, shared several updates on social media on February 1, 2025. His posts touched upon aviation safety, community engagement with veterans, and the celebration of Black History Month.

In his first post of the day at 00:08 UTC, DeSaulnier expressed his discontent regarding recent statements made by the President concerning a collision in Washington D.C. "While we await the results of NTSB’s investigation into the tragic collision in DC, I am outraged by the President’s baseless accusations of who or what is at fault, and I will be continuing the work I’ve been engaged in since the 2017 near-miss at SFO to improve aviation safety."

Later that morning at 01:06 UTC, DeSaulnier participated in a local event with young students from Parkmead Elementary School. He tweeted about their efforts to create Valentine’s Day cards for veterans. "I joined 2nd graders at @ParkmeadWC to make Valentine’s Day cards for our #CA10 veterans to thank them for their service. We’re looking forward to delivering these beautiful handmade cards to local veterans next month as a token of our community’s gratitude."

By mid-afternoon at 16:00 UTC, DeSaulnier highlighted Black History Month and acknowledged the significant contributions of Black Americans throughout history. He invited followers to observe how his office would be celebrating this occasion across California's 10th district during February. "Our country is a better place thanks to the contributions of Black Americans. This Black History Month, we recognize the extraordinary achievements of Black Americans in every aspect of American life. Follow along here this month to see how our office is celebrating across CA-10."
