U.S. Representative Jamie Raskin, who represents Maryland’s 8th district in Congress, posted a series of tweets on February 6, 2026, addressing recent political developments and funding initiatives for his constituents.
In a post published at 20:53 UTC, Raskin called for immediate action regarding personnel at the White House following a controversial post by former President Trump. He stated, “Everyone in the White House involved in any way with that vile, sickening racist Trump post must be fired immediately: everyone in the communications department, everyone in the press office, every deputy chief of staff, everyone involved up and down the line. Not one more tax https://t.co/RJCWoHEwSq”.
Shortly after, at 21:15 UTC, Raskin posted a tweet containing only a link: “https://t.co/usbKMvfcHv”.
At the same time, he addressed his local constituents directly regarding federal funding achievements. Raskin wrote, “MoCo Constituents: we’ve secured over $16.5 million in federal funding for critical projects in MD-08. These are investments in workforce development, public safety & infrastructure. Even as Trump squanders money on everything from unauthorized demolition of the White House East”.
