Young Kim, U.S. Congresswoman representing California’s 40th district, highlighted her legislative priorities and recent meetings with local officials in a series of tweets posted on January 16, 2026.
In a post at 18:33 UTC, Kim emphasized the importance of critical minerals to national security and technology, stating, “Critical minerals power everything from our smartphones to our fighter jets.

Later that evening at 20:54 UTC, she addressed economic policy concerns: “Economic freedom is the bedrock of the American Dream. I’m working to preserve that dream by cutting red tape, reducing government spending, & making it easier for everyday Americans to get ahead.”
