U.S. Congressman Jamie Raskin, representing Maryland’s 8th District, expressed his thoughts and sentiments on various issues through a series of tweets. Raskin, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress since 2017, addressed social welfare programs, a tragic incident, and a sports tradition in his recent online posts.

In a tweet dated March 26, 2025, Rep. Raskin emphasized the importance of landmark U.S. social programs, stating: "Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security are the magnificent achievements of American democracy. There's no way the American people will let Elon Musk and Trump's billionaire cabinet tear down what prior generations have built."

The next day, March 27, 2025, he reflected on a sombre anniversary with compassion, remarking on the tragic collapse of a bridge that claimed lives: "Holding close the six souls who lost their lives one year ago today in Maryland's Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. May their memory be a blessing to all who loved them."

Contributing a lighter note to his social media presence, on the morning of March 27, 2025, Rep. Raskin shared a personal ritual with his followers: "Starting the morning routine with my Maryland tie, the tie that binds. Go Terps! #MarchMadness"
