Rep. Scott Peters, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing California's 50th district, has shared his recent activities and positions on several legislative matters through a series of tweets. Peters, who has been in office since 2013 after replacing Brian Bilbray, has consistently focused on issues affecting veterans, government operations, and social security.

On March 11, 2025, Rep. Peters expressed his commitment to supporting veterans in his district. "CA50 is home to thousands of veterans and active duty servicemembers, and I will always work to keep our promises to them." He emphasized the importance of financial security for Medal of Honor recipients by voting for the Medal of Honor Act aimed at raising pensions.

Later that day, he criticized a Republican bill regarding government shutdowns. "The Republican bill does not prevent a shutdown." He argued that it would allow President Trump and Elon Musk undue control over government operations and declared his intention to vote against it.

In another post on March 11, 2025, Peters addressed concerns about Social Security. "Hard working Americans pay into Social Security their whole lives." He accused Elon Musk and Republicans of targeting this crucial support system for seniors and people with disabilities while affirming that House Democrats are committed to its protection.
