Jamie Raskin U.S. House of Representatives from Maryland's 8th district | Official U.S. House Headshot
Rep. Jamie Raskin, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Maryland's 8th district, has recently expressed his views on various political issues through a series of tweets. These posts address concerns about executive orders by President Trump, the impact of the Citizens United decision, and actions taken by Republicans on public safety and immigration.
On January 21, 2025, Rep. Raskin commented on President Trump's initial executive orders: "President Trump's first executive orders free violent insurrectionists who followed his orders, seek to destroy birthright citizenship, attack the professional civil service and spread chaos."
Later that day, he reflected on the Citizens United ruling from fifteen years prior: "15 years after Citizens United, which transformed every corporate treasury in America into a potential political slush fund, we now see the result: government of billionaires, by oligarchs, for plutocrats."
On January 22, 2025, Rep. Raskin addressed actions taken by Republicans regarding public safety and immigration policies: "Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee rail about public safety and immigration—while their president pardons violent insurrectionists and kills bipartisan border legislation. Democrats are working for public safety and immigration reform. Is the GOP?"
