Thanks, @jackcocchiarella.bsky.social, for exploring the wilds of Maryland and Washington with me in Rock Creek Park near the Boundary Bridge which allows safe passage from Occupied Washington back to the Free State. WATCH: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-SH...

I thoroughly enjoyed greeting friends, neighbors, police, firefighters and activists at National Night Out celebrations in Olney, East County and Lyttonsville. Public safety is a community responsibility and we’re all grateful to our first responders.

While MAGA pursues extreme gerrymandering and one-party rule, we mark the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act and rededicate ourselves to strong representative democracy without voter suppression and partisan lockups.

My district team was thrilled to meet MoCo Councilmember Dawn Luedtke and her staff to discuss the importance of teamwork in providing essential constituent services. Thank you, CM Luedtke!

I'm joining Jews across America and organizations like the National Council of Jewish Women to rally against the GOP's outrageous tax bill. Tikkun olam demands our refusal to sit idly by as the SNAP food assistance and Medicaid health care Americans depend on is destroyed.

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govAug 5(source)

Former Mossad, Shin Bet and IDF leaders join most of the world in demanding an immediate end to the Gaza war, saying it’s now an unjust, immoral and futile war of destruction guided by 'messianic and extremist goals' and threatening ‘the loss of Israel's security and freedom.’ It must end now.

MAGA's packed-and-stacked Supreme Court opened the door to extreme partisan gerrymandering in the states. Democrats must use every tool at our disposal to stop this Orbán-style one-party takeover of our government.

The whole world’s watching this ludicrous coverup unfold as Trump’s team moves convicted sex offender Maxwell to a minimum security camp after Trump’s lawyer found she answered all his questions correctly. Nobody’s falling for this fraud—release the files. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/01/u...

Trump’s illegal tariffs and budget-busting billionaire tax cuts have run down U.S. job growth but, instead of pulling back from these blunders, an inflamed Trump just blamed the messenger and fired the Commissioner of Labor Statistics.

This week's MD-08 Local Heroes are Elaine Lamirande and Kit Gage of Friends of Sligo Creek. We honor their daily commitment to preserving and beautifying the Creek even through the ravages of climate change, heavy rainfall and flooding.

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govAug 1(source)

Secretary McMahon is throwing the Department of Education in the trash because President Trump told her to. Now, she's overseeing one of ED's largest mass firings yet. We must defend America’s students, teachers and schools against MAGA's corrupt agenda.

Raskin Urges Secretary of Education Linda McMahon to Stop “Unlawful” Mass Firings at Department of Education

MoCo, stay safe and stay inside if you can. Sending my deep gratitude to the first responders who are helping Marylanders in harm’s way during this dangerous flooding.

6:28pm: Back edge of what seems to be last somewhat solid band of moderate to heavy rain is now in DC’s western burbs and moving east. Should see activity taper west to east across DMV 7-8pm. Scattered lighter showers, maybe an isolated heavier shower, may linger later. #cwgalert

Today we celebrate 60 years of Medicare and Medicaid, two great programmatic achievements of democracy in America. MAGA just cut millions of people off Medicaid to give billionaires tax cuts, but we’ll work to repeal their dreadful bill and restore the health of our people.

Profoundly saddened by a mass shooting in NYC killing 4 people, including a police officer. We must never accept the lie that gun casualties are the price of constitutional freedom. May the memories of the lost be a blessing to friends & family & a reminder to all of us to act.

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govJul 25(source)

As we close Disability Pride Month, we honor Daria Cervantes as this week’s MD-08 Local Hero for leading the important work of the Arc Montgomery County promoting inclusion and independence for people with developmental and intellectual disabilities.

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govJul 24(source)

Hundreds of hungry Palestinians have been killed near food sites managed by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation which is funded in part by our tax dollars. This group should not receive our support while Gazans face starvation and violent death every day. The famine and slaughter must end now.

Now the primary vehicle for food distribution inside Gaza, the controversial U.S.- and Israeli-backed operation is an issue in ongoing ceasefire negotiations.

The Carbon Kings are rejoicing as they watch MAGA's slash-and-burn campaign at NOAA. But pulling the wool over your own eyes won't stop climate change or accelerating natural disasters. As I told this rally in 92-degree heat, NOAA is our ark.

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govJul 23(source)

Inspired by federal workers and their families fighting the Trump-Musk madness. Solidarity is the watch word of our time as we defend against Trump’s assault on facts, science, diplomacy and the professional civil service.

Right-wing cancel culture run wild! They’re not only canceling Colbert, global relief, the federal work force and their promise to release the Epstein File. Now they’re canceling Congress!
