Rep. Andy Kim, a member of the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey’s 3rd district, shared his views on several pressing issues through a series of tweets on March 26, 2025. The congressman addressed economic disparities and criticized certain policy decisions impacting federal agencies.

In a tweet posted at 00:14:54 UTC, Rep. Kim highlighted the persistent wage gap between men and women, noting that "women only make about 75 cents for every dollar a man makes doing the same work." He emphasized that this disparity is even more pronounced for women of color and called for legislative action to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act to ensure equal pay for equal work.

At 01:57:03 UTC, he tweeted about the role of government in serving its citizens by providing essential services such as information dissemination, answering queries, and delivering social security checks. Rep. Kim criticized budget cuts made by Trump and Musk, arguing that these reductions neglect governmental duties and put people’s benefits at risk.

Later in the day, at 16:50:59 UTC, Rep. Kim commented on how billionaires are profiting from the reduction of federal agency capabilities under Trump and Musk's policies while ordinary Americans suffer. He mentioned participating in a segment with WNYC titled "Call Your Senator" to discuss these developments further.
