Rep. Jim Costa, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing California’s 21st district, recently expressed his views on several key issues through a series of tweets. Costa, who has been a congressional representative since 2005 and previously served in the California State Assembly and Senate, shared his concerns regarding social services, agriculture, and air traffic control.
On March 26, 2025, Rep. Jim Costa voiced opposition to potential cuts by the Social Security Administration in a tweet: “This is unacceptable! I’ve sent a letter to the Social Security Administration opposing any cuts to essential services, especially cutting phone services. More than 40% of claims are processed via phone – cutting this lifeline would hurt our seniors and rural communities.”
In another tweet on the same day at 02:06:39 UTC, Costa emphasized the importance of California’s citrus industry: “California’s citrus industry is a cornerstone of our Valley’s economy and leads the nation in fresh citrus production. Protecting its sustainability is essential. I sat down with members of California Citrus Mutual to discuss Farm Bill priorities, disease prevention.”
Later that day at 03:00:10 UTC, he highlighted issues concerning air safety and infrastructure funding: “Air traffic controllers are vital for air safety, and it’s crucial to invest in their resources. I met with the National Air Traffic Controllers Association to discuss the importance of FAA funding and the need to increase staffing for safe, efficient air travel.”
