Fresno Leader

Rep. Jim Costa, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing California’s 21st district, shared his views on various policy issues through a series of tweets. Rep. Costa has been vocal about his stance on economic and international policies, expressing concerns over recent developments.

On March 5, 2025, Rep. Costa commented on the rising cost of eggs, stating "Soaring egg prices aren’t a sign of progress." This tweet reflects his concern over increasing living costs affecting everyday Americans.

Later that day, he criticized decisions related to international organizations and agreements. In a tweet posted at 02:31:44 UTC, he stated "Withdrawing from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Paris Climate Agreement isn’t leadership—it’s recklessness. Turning our back on global health and climate action puts lives, and our future at risk." This highlights his disapproval of distancing from global cooperative efforts in health and climate change.

Finally, at 02:39:31 UTC on the same day, Rep. Costa addressed trade policies by commenting on tariffs imposed by former President Trump. He tweeted "Trump’s tariffs won’t make the cost of living more affordable for Americans." Here he points out that such trade measures do not contribute to reducing living expenses for citizens.
