Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing California’s 18th district since 1995, has recently shared updates on various initiatives and concerns through her social media platform. Lofgren, who has a history of advocacy in both local and federal governance, continues to engage with constituents on key issues.

On February 5, 2025, Rep. Zoe Lofgren highlighted the work of Kitchen Marthas, an organization that delivers nutritious meals to the San Jose community. She expressed her appreciation for their efforts by attending an event celebrating their successes. During this event, she emphasized her commitment to "preserving & securing federal funding for local nonprofits." "@KitchenMarthas provides thousands of healthy, nutritious meals each month to members of our San Jose community."

On February 7, 2025, Lofgren revisited her past involvement in blocking SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) from becoming law over a decade ago. She announced progress on a new bill developed alongside tech and content industries aimed at addressing foreign online piracy while maintaining internet openness. "I was at the center of the successful effort to prevent SOPA from becoming law 10+yrs ago."

Later that day, Rep. Lofgren raised concerns about Elon Musk and his associates allegedly gaining access to the federal government’s payment system via DOGE cryptocurrency activities. She described this situation as dangerous and infringing upon Americans' privacy rights while advocating for legislative measures such as the Taxpayer Data Protection Act to address these issues."As you may know, Elon Musk & his DOGE underlings have gained access to the federal government’s payment system."
