Rep. Ken Calvert, who has represented California's 41st District in the U.S. Congress since 1993, shared a series of tweets on March 27, 2025, discussing law enforcement, Medicaid spending, and California's high-speed rail. Calvert, 69, hails from Corona, California, where he was born in 1953 and later graduated from San Diego State University in 1975.

In his first tweet, Calvert expressed gratitude towards law enforcement: "Thanks to our incredible law enforcement officers for taking this dangerous criminal off our streets." This tweet was posted on March 27, 2025, at 14:35:36 UTC.

Later that day, Calvert criticized Medicaid waste: "This is just one example of the billions of dollars in waste, fraud and abuse that we must cut from Medicaid to protect taxpayers and ensure the program has the resources necessary for the Americans who rely upon the healthcare it provides." This statement was posted at 17:08:00 UTC, highlighting concerns over federal spending and the allocation of resources.

At 18:59:40 UTC, Calvert took a stance against California's high-speed rail project: "It's hard to think of a more wasteful use of tax dollars than California's high-speed rail project that Democrats refuse to pull the plug on. I have and will continue to oppose any federal funds going to this boondoggle." Calvert's opposition underscores his stance on fiscal responsibility and government spending.
