Scott Peters, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing California’s 50th district, has been active on social media discussing various issues. His recent tweets address concerns about federal office closures, support for Afghan allies, and the need for policy changes to reduce living costs.

On March 17, 2025, Peters expressed concern over the closure of federal offices and its impact on San Diego residents. He criticized the move as a mere attempt to save a minimal amount of government spending. Peters stated that "DOGE isn’t increasing efficiency and cutting waste; they’re wreaking havoc on our government," while assuring his commitment to serving his constituents. "Closing these federal offices will affect services San Diegans rely on..."

Later that day, Peters discussed the importance of supporting Afghan allies through a program called Enduring Welcome during a conversation with AfghanEvac. He urged Donald Trump to resume this critical program, emphasizing that it is essential not to abandon thoroughly vetted Afghan refugees who have supported American efforts. "Watch a clip of my conversation @afghanevac about Enduring Welcome..."

On March 18, 2025, Peters congratulated Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson on their new book release titled "Abundance." He used this occasion to advocate for Democratic policies focused on reducing costs for housing, energy, and necessities by prioritizing results over inefficient processes. "Congrats to @ezraklein and @DKThomp on the release of their book 'Abundance.'"
