Rep. Doris Matsui, a U.S. Congresswoman representing California’s 7th district since 2005, has used her Twitter account to criticize the Trump Administration’s approach to war powers and national security in a series of posts published on May 19 and May 20, 2026.
On May 19, Matsui wrote, “It’s clear they have no coherent plan. Enough has been enough for weeks. Congress must reclaim its constitutional authority over war powers before this spirals even further.” Later that day, she added, “Again and again, the Trump Administration’s reckless choices leave us less safe or more broke.”
The following day, Matsui continued her criticism by stating, “Today, I am once again voting to bring rightful war powers back to Congress and end this war. Donald Trump is lying to you; he has no plan. His illegal war is a complete failure, and we are no closer to ending his self-inflicted catastrophe.”
Doris Matsui succeeded Bob Matsui in Congress in 2005 and currently resides in Sacramento. Born in Poston, Arizona in 1944, she graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a BA in 1966.
