Rep. Mike Levin criticizes efforts against NRC and public broadcasting cuts

Rep. Mike Levin, who represents California’s 49th district in the U.S. Congress, recently addressed concerns about public safety and federal funding for public broadcasting through a series of posts on his social media account.

On July 16, 2025, Levin posted: “Safety is not political. DOGE’s attempts to undermine the Nuclear Regulatory Commission are inexcusable. Public safety and trust are core to the NRC’s work. We must pass my NRC Office of Public Engagement and Participation Act to encourage transparency and keep communities https://t.co/NV7wWzpXwx”

The following day, on July 17, 2025, Levin commented on proposed cuts to federal funding for public broadcasting: “Today, Congressional Republicans are set to dismantle federal funding for PBS and NPR, potentially shutting down over 100 public broadcasting stations. This is a reckless assault on local journalism and freedom of the press that weakens our democracy. https://t.co/YF1XKTXkN6” He also shared an additional post with a link: “https://t.co/Ra5WXlplYe”.

Levin has been serving as a member of Congress since 2019 after succeeding Darrell Issa. Born in Inglewood, California in 1978, he currently resides in San Juan Capistrano at age 44. Levin holds degrees from Stanford University (BA) and Duke University (JD).
