Young Kim, a U.S. Congress representative for California's 40th district, shared her thoughts and updates on various issues through social media posts on February 6, 2025. Her comments ranged from cultural celebrations to financial matters affecting small businesses and taxpayer refunds.

In a post made at 18:00 UTC, Young Kim expressed joy over the Lunar New Year celebrations. She remarked on the inspiration that iconic characters provide to future generations, saying, "As our community celebrates Lunar New Year, it’s heartwarming to see iconic characters we know and love inspire future generations. I would have loved to see Minnie in a hanbok when I was a young girl!"

Later that day at 20:00 UTC, she addressed the decline in the number of banks in the United States since the 1980s. Kim highlighted concerns about reduced access to capital for small businesses and decreased competition. She stated her commitment to ensuring banking services are accessible to all communities by working with the Financial Committee: "The U.S. has 13,000 fewer banks today than in the 1980s. Fewer banks mean less access to capital for small businesses & less competition. I’m fighting on @FinancialCmte to ensure banking services are available to all communities."

At 22:00 UTC, Young Kim celebrated her team's success in returning significant funds back to taxpayers from federal agencies. She emphasized her dedication as a representative by stating: "I’m ecstatic that Team Young has been able to return over $26 million back to taxpayers from federal agencies. Delivering results for our communities is my top priority as your representative."
