Ken Calvert, a longstanding U.S. Congressman representing California's 41st District since 1993, shared his perspectives on recent political developments through a series of tweets. Born in Corona, California, in 1953 and an alumnus of San Diego State University, Calvert has been an active voice in the House of Representatives.

On March 12, 2025, Calvert expressed his criticism towards House Democrats regarding their stance on military funding and other national issues. He stated: "Unbelievable. Radical House Democrats 'don’t know why anyone would' vote to give our military a pay raise, fully fund the VA, pass a permanent pay fix for our wildland firefighters, or keep our National Parks open."

Later that day, Calvert highlighted efforts by the Trump administration to address economic concerns affecting American families. He noted: "We have more work to do, but @SecRollins and the Trump administration are making it a priority to bring relief to American families."

In another tweet from March 12th, Calvert discussed his conversation with Hugh Hewitt about preventing government shutdowns and fiscal policies. He remarked: "Yesterday, I joined my friend @HughHewitt to talk about the need to pass the Continuing Resolution to prevent a shutdown, as well as the importance of using the reconciliation process to keep taxes low and invest in our military."
