Rep. Jamie Raskin, a U.S. Congressman representing Maryland’s 8th district, recently posted several comments on his official X account addressing both political and cultural topics.
On September 22, 2025, Raskin wrote: “I’m not a doctor either but I’m pretty sure the Trump administration has a serious staff infection.”
Later that day, he marked the Jewish New Year with a message to his constituents and fellow Jewish Americans: “During Rosh Hashanah, we reflect on the blessings of our year and its sorrows and challenges. To my fellow Jewish Americans observing in MD-08 and across America: Shanah Tovah! May your 5786 be filled with sweetness and justice.”
On September 23, 2025, Raskin addressed allegations involving former Trump official Tom Homan. He stated: “Attorney General Bondi and Director Patel: We’re told you have video of Trump official Tom Homan accepting $50,000 in cash bribes stuffed into a CAVA bag in exchange for corruptly steering government contracts. America smells a rat. Release the tapes now!”
