Rep. Jamie Raskin, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Maryland's 8th district, recently shared his perspectives on legislative matters via social media. His posts cover topics ranging from government funding to road safety initiatives and NOAA budget cuts.

On March 13, 2025, Rep. Raskin expressed support for a temporary measure to prevent significant government budget cuts: "House Dems are ready and eager to vote for a 4-week funding extension to block these devastating cuts and keep the government open, allowing us to reach a serious bipartisan compromise."

In another post on the same day, he announced new legislation aimed at improving road safety: "I introduced legislation to help state and local governments invest in road safety efforts—in memory of Sarah Langenkamp, a fine diplomat, an amazing mother and a beloved friend. I'm grateful to her family for working with me to make our streets and community safer.…"

Later that day, Rep. Raskin criticized recent Republican actions affecting NOAA: "One day after Republicans passed a bill to slash NOAA funding, DOGE plans to cut 1,000 jobs from the agency which produces weather data and climate science. Trump thinks he can redirect hurricanes with his Sharpie but you don’t need a weatherman to know this administration blows."
