Rep. Mike Levin, who has served in the U.S. Congress representing California’s 49th district since 2019, has expressed his stance on various policy issues through a series of tweets on April 9, 2025. His social media activity addressed concerns about fiscal policies, market dynamics, and the welfare of seniors.

On April 9, 2025, Rep. Levin criticized proposed legislation by House Republicans for allegedly harming the public. "You can’t make this up," he tweeted, arguing that the bill would increase the deficit, provide tax breaks to billionaires, and strip health care from millions. Levin firmly stated his opposition, adding, "Their bill gets a NO from me."

Later the same day, Levin commented on actions taken by former President Trump regarding trade tariffs. "Trump posts THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!—then caves on tariffs hours later. Market surges," he posted, claiming this led to disadvantages for middle-class investors while benefiting insiders. Levin questioned the legality and ethics of such market manipulation, asking, "How is this legal or OK?"

In a subsequent tweet on April 9, 2025, Levin addressed a significant change affecting seniors. He mentioned a policy involving DOGE, where 85,000 seniors would reportedly need to visit field offices to obtain their benefits. "This isn’t efficient. It’s cruel," Levin stated. He reassured his commitment to advocate for the welfare of seniors, declaring, "I’ll keep standing up for our seniors."
