Rep. Mike Levin, a U.S. Congressman representing California's 49th district, shared his views on various pressing issues through a series of tweets dated March 20, 2025. The congressman, who has been serving since 2019 after succeeding Darrell Issa, addressed concerns ranging from veteran affairs to environmental and border security matters.

In a tweet posted on March 20, 2025, at 17:37 UTC, Rep. Levin expressed concern over potential staffing cuts at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). He stated that "Cutting 80,000 employees from the VA will mean longer wait times, fewer appointments, and more delays in getting veterans their benefits."

Later that day at 20:30 UTC, Rep. Levin highlighted environmental issues and funding efforts in another tweet. He mentioned that "We’ve waited too long for this pollution to stop. I’m proud of the funding we’ve delivered to solve this crisis..." As a member of the Appropriations Committee, he pledged continued support for federal resources towards cleanup efforts.

In a subsequent tweet at 23:15:14 UTC on the same day, Rep. Levin discussed border security following a meeting with the Border Patrol San Diego Sector. He asserted that "It’s clear Congress must do more to strengthen border security and expand legal pathways." He called for practical solutions rather than political maneuvers.
