Later that day, Kim addressed issues related to global information dissemination and national security. She emphasized the importance of truthful broadcasting worldwide and warned against propaganda and disinformation by adversaries. Kim advocated for restoring USAGM as a soft-power tool that promotes America's national security interests. "If the truth is not broadcast around the world, we are losing, and propaganda and disinformation by our adversaries fill the void. We must restore USAGM to its intended purpose: a soft-power tool that promotes America’s national security interests." (March 20, 2025)

In her final tweet of the day, Young Kim reported on a productive wildfire roundtable with local fire chiefs and safety councils. The discussion focused on increasing access to critical wildfire technology. She mentioned that her introduced Wildfire DEMO Act would significantly aid Southern California firefighters' efforts. "Productive wildfire roundtable with @OCFADivision4 Chief Fetterman, @cvifd Battalion Chief Smith, & the Canyon Fire Safety Council to discuss increasing access to critical wildfire technology. The Wildfire DEMO Act that I introduced will greatly assist SoCal’s firefighters work." (March 20, 2025)
