Rep. Jim Costa, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing California's 21st district, shared his views on several topics through a series of tweets. His comments reflect concerns about international aid and domestic productivity.

On February 4, 2025, Rep. Jim Costa expressed his concern regarding the potential shutdown of The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). He stated that "Elon Musk’s efforts to shut down The U.S. Agency for International Development is not just reckless – it's dangerous and cedes diplomatic ground to our competitors, like China."

In another tweet posted on the same day, Costa emphasized the importance of USAID by stating that "USAID provides critical aid to millions of people around the world, is a valuable soft power tool of US diplomacy, and cutting it off would devastate vulnerable communities."

Later on February 4, 2025, Costa highlighted recent achievements within his district by posting that "It was a week of productivity and progress in the district! Check out some of the highlights from the last week."
