In a series of recent tweets, Congressman Jim Costa, who is currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing California’s 21st district, addressed several pertinent issues. These tweets include an invitation to participate in a live event, a media appearance discussing legislative impacts, and criticisms of recent Republican policies. Costa has been in Congress since 2005, after succeeding Cal Dooley. He was born in Fresno, California, in 1952 and holds a degree from California State University, Fresno.
On April 8, 2025, Costa encouraged public engagement through a media initiative, specifically a Medicaid Telephone Town Hall. In a tweet, he wrote “HAPPENING NOW: Join my Medicaid Telephone Town Hall by dialing (833) 998-2637 to join the call or watch live on Facebook. You can also tune in at https://t.co/4yejHeSD4D.”
The following day, on April 9, 2025, Costa announced a forthcoming media engagement on the television program Great Day. He stated, “HAPPENING SHORTLY: I’ll be on @KMPHFOX26 Great Day to discuss the latest in Congress and the negative impacts of House Republicans budget. https://t.co/Zoy7JS49fH”
Later that same day, Costa expressed concerns over economic and social policies proposed by House Republicans. He wrote ” From tariffs to proposed cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, House Republicans are trying to gut essential safety nets just to give more tax breaks to billionaires. https://t.co/l2cXd90M6D”
