Rep. Mike Levin, a member of the U.S. Congress representing California's 49th district, has recently shared his concerns on social media regarding various policy issues affecting his constituents. On February 13, 2025, he addressed topics such as reliance on public assistance programs, inflation, and funding for medical research.

In a tweet posted at 19:45 UTC on February 13, Rep. Levin highlighted the dependency of over 72,000 people in his community on MediCal and over 16,000 households on SNAP. He expressed opposition to Republican efforts to reduce these programs by stating "Republicans are trying to slash the programs our neighbors rely on. I’ll keep doing everything I can to stop them."

Later that day at 20:40 UTC, Rep. Levin commented on the issue of rising inflation and criticized the current administration's focus by saying "Inflation is still climbing, but the new administration clearly isn’t focused on bringing prices down. I’m ready to work on solutions. Where are my Republican colleagues?"

In another tweet at 22:05 UTC, Rep. Levin raised concerns about potential cuts to NIH funding and their impact on local research institutions. He warned that such reductions could hinder progress in medical research for diseases like Alzheimer's and cancer by stating "NIH funding cuts will directly harm research institutions in our community."
