Mark Takano, a U.S. Congressman representing California's 39th district since 2013, has been vocal on social media about various issues concerning labor rights and education policies. On February 5, 2025, Takano expressed concerns regarding the Department of Labor's actions under the Trump Administration. He stated that "Elon's cronies are at the Department of Labor to weaken job training for veterans, abandon worker protections, and limit union power." He further criticized these efforts as an attempt to undermine workers' rights.
On February 7, 2025, Takano addressed ongoing issues with the Department of Education by urging bipartisan cooperation. He tweeted: "JOIN NOW: I'm in front of the Department of Education demanding answers. Democrats are fighting, but we need Republicans to join us in putting education over Elon Musk."
Later that day, he reported a significant barrier faced by Democrats in accessing the Department of Education facilities. Despite this challenge, he encouraged continued activism through calls and advocacy efforts: "Democrats are literally locked out of the Department of Education. But that doesn't mean we stop fighting."
