Congresswoman Julia Brownley, representing California's 26th district, recently shared her thoughts on various pressing issues through a series of tweets. These posts cover topics ranging from the passing of a local mayor to national events impacting law enforcement and women's rights.

On January 21, 2025, Congresswoman Brownley expressed her condolences over the death of Mayor Fred Thomas. She described him as "a dedicated public servant" who was deeply committed to Simi Valley and its residents. Brownley stated, "I was honored to work alongside him in his efforts to make Simi Valley a safer and better place to live, work, and raise a family."

The following day, on January 22, 2025, she reflected on the events of January 6, 2021. In her tweet, she noted that "140 officers were assaulted at the U.S. Capitol," describing it as one of the most violent days for law enforcement in U.S. history. She also mentioned that four officers who responded to the attack have died by suicide and criticized President Trump's pardon of 1,500 rioters.

Later that day, Congresswoman Brownley addressed the impact of recent judicial decisions on women's rights. She remarked on Roe v. Wade's role in safeguarding women's autonomy for nearly five decades before being overturned by what she termed as "the devastating Dobbs ruling." Brownley attributed this decision to an agenda driven by far-right and extreme MAGA Republicans.
