Mark Takano, a U.S. Congressman representing California's 39th district since 2013, recently shared his views on social media regarding various topics of national interest. Takano, who was born in Riverside, California in 1960 and graduated from Harvard University in 1983, is known for his advocacy on several issues.
On March 5, 2025, Takano expressed support for transgender individuals serving in the military. He stated succinctly "Trans people serve our country just like any other American."
Later that day, Takano shared his disappointment with a speech by the President. In a tweet posted at 04:02:39 UTC, he wrote about his expectations for the speech and his reaction to its content: "I came to tonight’s speech hoping to hear the President explain why he illegally fired veterans from the VA.

In another post on March 5, Takano praised Sylvester Turner for his swift impact upon arriving in Washington. At 15:00:58 UTC, he tweeted "Sylvester Turner arrived to Washington only a short time ago but made an impact quickly.
