Young Kim, a member of the U.S. Congress representing California's 40th district, shared several significant updates on May 20, 2025. Her posts covered topics ranging from legislative achievements to historical commemorations.

In a post at 02:30 UTC, Kim announced that her bipartisan bill aimed at improving VA training for military sexual trauma (MST) survivors had passed in the House. She emphasized the need to reduce stress for these survivors during the VA examination process, stating "Military sexual trauma survivors have already faced unthinkable pain. The VA examination process shouldn't cause more stress."

Later in the day at 13:22 UTC, Kim criticized the World Health Organization's relationship with Beijing and advocated for Taiwan's inclusion in global health discussions. She highlighted her leadership role in passing legislation to support this cause by saying "The WHO’s continued kowtowing to Beijing is shameful. Taiwan’s perspective on global health security is the world’s gain." She noted her involvement with the Taiwan WHO ACT, which mandates U.S. advocacy for Taiwan's participation in WHO and WHA meetings.

At 14:30 UTC, Young Kim commemorated Amelia Earhart's historic solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean in 1932.
