On March 6, 2025, Rep. Doris Matsui highlighted the impact of the BEAD program in providing high-speed internet access to millions of Americans. She noted that "Congress also directed nearly $3 billion in digital equity grants to ensure all communities have the skills, training, and technology to reap the full benefits of online access."

The following day, March 7, 2025, Matsui addressed former President Trump's stance on Women's History Month. She criticized his attempt to ban it by stating that "Trump tried to ban #WomensHistoryMonth because he’s scared of its legacy." As a member of the Democratic Women’s Caucus (@DemWomenCaucus), she expressed her commitment to honoring women's history by continuing to fight for their rights.

On March 8, 2025, Rep. Matsui turned her attention to international affairs concerning Ukraine. She condemned Trump's plan regarding Ukrainian refugees by saying "Ukraine is holding the line for democracy... Trump’s plan to revoke humanitarian parole status for Ukrainian refugees betrays America’s promise." She emphasized standing with allies as crucial during such times.
