Mike Levin, the U.S. Representative for California’s 49th district, expressed concerns over the actions taken by the Trump Administration, as conveyed in a series of tweets. These messages, shared on March 28, 2025, criticized the administration's approach to funding matters, food resources, and health agencies.

Levin highlighted a constitutional issue regarding budgetary powers. He stated, "The Constitution clearly states that Congress holds the power of the purse, but the Trump Admin has been trying to pick and choose what actually gets funding. That’s not how this works." On the same note, he thanked Senator Collins for her efforts in upholding Congressional authority on March 28, 2025.

The congressman also voiced his concerns about the impact of budget cuts on food assistance programs. He posted, "Because of the Trump Admin’s cuts, food banks across the country are struggling, straining already scarce resources. Causing hunger instead of fixing it is truly unthinkable." The tweet highlights the strain on food banks and the repercussions of such cuts.

Lastly, in relation to health and safety agencies, Levin criticized the administration's strategy. He alleged that the administration was dismantling essential health infrastructure, stating, "The Trump Admin is now gutting the agency responsible for disease prevention, medical research, and keeping our food and prescription drugs safe. Make America Sick Again." This tweet raised concerns about the ramifications on public health due to these administrative decisions.
