Rep. Doris Matsui, who represents California’s 7th district in the U.S. Congress, has used her social media platform to address several national issues, including the release of Epstein files, U.S. commitments to allies, and concerns about media self-censorship.
On December 19, 2025, Matsui posted about congressional efforts to obtain information related to Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal activities: “Congress has mandated the release of ALL the Epstein files for the victims of his heinous criminal enterprise. Today was the deadline for their release, yet after releasing only a heavily redacted portion, Attorney General Pam Bondi has not fulfilled her congressionally”.
The following day, on December 20, 2025, she commented on foreign policy and alliances: “Exploiting a tragedy to sow division and inflame fear will not make America safer. Abandoning our neighbors who made the courageous choice to stand beside us signals to our current and future allies that our nation cannot be trusted to honor our commitments. Our Afghan”.
On December 22, 2025, Matsui criticized CBS for pulling a news segment: “This is exactly what happens when broadcasters bend to political pressure. CBS pulling a fully reported 60 Minutes segment just 2 hours before airtime—while Paramount pursues a merger requiring Trump administration approval—is a textbook case of self-censorship. When media”.
Doris Matsui has represented California’s 7th District in Congress since replacing Bob Matsui in 2005. She was born in Poston, Arizona in 1944 and currently resides in Sacramento. Matsui graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a BA in 1966.
