Rep. Scott Peters, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing California's 50th district, has expressed his views on several issues through a series of tweets. These tweets address topics ranging from military policy to international aid and executive governance.

On February 4, 2025, Rep. Peters addressed the issue of transgender troops in the military. He stated, "Thousands of transgender troops bravely serve our country in uniform. Removing them will do nothing to keep our country safe, especially when we can't recruit enough willing Americans. I will push back with every tool available to me, just as I did in 2017."

Later that day, he commented on the impact of USAID funding freeze by President Trump: "The sudden freeze of USAID has left Americans working in dangerous regions without access to their devices and agency support. President Trump needs to reverse course and ensure the safety of the Americans still overseas before anyone is harmed."

On February 5, 2025, Rep. Peters criticized certain executive orders issued by President Trump during an appearance on CBS8: "Last week, I talked about some of President Trump’s most unlawful Executive Orders on @CBS8. He is not a king and we cannot allow him to ignore or rewrite our Constitution. Our judicial system must act as it was designed to uphold the Constitution and rule of law."
