Admiral Bradley’s testimony leaves no doubt—the double-tap was an illegal and heinous act. If those orders came from the top, accountability and ownership rest with Hegseth. Leadership means responsibility not hiding behind the ranks.

We need to bang the drum now, before he’s actually nominated. Kevin Hassett’s career is a case study in failing upwards. Wrong on markets, wrong on tax cuts, wrong on COVID. He called workers “human capital stock” and thought corporate tax cuts would raise wages. He’s a liability to our economy.

The “war on drugs” and labeling cartels as “terrorists” is performative MAGA bullshit when you pardon Juan Orlando Hernández—convicted for building a “cocaine superhighway” to the US under Biden’s DOJ. It’s never been about stopping drugs, just creating propaganda to support their authoritarianism.

Nothing about “giving no quarter” is patriotic—it’s a fucking war crime. Pete Hegseth isn’t just underqualified, he’s now cheerleading murder. The Trump crowd keeps turning strength into cruelty and America into a global joke.

Still room in the tent, @raskin.house.gov?

According to officials, Rahmanullah Lakanwal was cleared by U.S. counterterrorism officials before he worked with the CIA and *again* before he entered the US in 2021. You don’t pass two extremely thorough checks and manage to hide something. There is more to this that must be investigated.

I’m deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Specialist Sarah Beckstrom. At just 20 years old, she had already devoted herself to serving our country—a life of promise and purpose cut tragically short. My thoughts are with her family, friends, and fellow service members as they mourn her loss.

Thankful for Courtney, our three amazing girls, and the little moments that make the chaos of life worth it. Wishing everyone a warm, peaceful Thanksgiving surrounded by the people you love most.

My heart is with the families of the West Virginia National Guardsmen who were shot in Washington. No community should have to endure this. Whatever our disagreements may be, violence can never be the answer.

Grocery prices are out of control because a few giant corporations call all the shots. Maryland families are paying the price while politicians backed by Walmart and Pepsi look the other way. I’ve got a plan to fight back—check the link in my bio to see how. #ethanformd #food #politics

Food should be affordable and accessible, not dictated by Wall Street or corporate monopolies. When profit comes before people, families go hungry. It’s time to rebuild our food system—from farms to fridges—so it serves communities, not shareholders.

I launched my campaign on affordability, accountability, and community. Now @repaprildelaney.bsky.social’s newsletter is built on the exact same three values. That’s not leadership—it’s copy-pasting. If they’re following my lead now, imagine what I’ll do when I’m actually in Congress.

Nine years ago, Jim VandeHei promised a media “brimming with content we can be proud of—and happily pay for.” Instead, Axios became everything he claimed to oppose: shallow, sanitized, corporate stenography dressed up as “smart brevity.” The crap trap won—and he built it.

The 28-point “peace plan” is an international disaster and embarrassment—drafted by people who think diplomacy is a real estate deal. Rubio, Witkoff, and Kushner should be hauled before Congress and investigated for their reckless disregard for democracy and basic common sense.

If you’re more upset about people saying “genocide” than the fact that one is happening, you’re the problem. #ethanformd #politics #congress #gaza #genocide

The U.S. gearing up for “covert ops” in Venezuela feels like the same playbook that’s failed for decades. If democracy needs defending, let’s start by practicing it at home. 🔗 https://reut.rs/4p02eij

Putting politics aside for a minute—wishing the Washington Spirit the best of luck in today’s NWSL Championship. The fight is not finished—and the DMV’s got your back!

While we’re at it, we should also talk about the $50K+ you’ve taken from JStreetPAC just this year.

“SHE VOTED TO CONDEMN HELPING PEOPLE.” April’s vote says it all—she’s not fighting for families, she’s fighting for the same broken system that keeps working people struggling. #ethanformd #politics #congress #maryland #democrat

We talk about Epstein like he’s the center of the story. He isn’t. The survivors are and we failed them. I wrote about why that failure haunts me: “Jeffrey Epstein and the Voices We Failed to Protect.” https://bit.ly/3LZUbTT

People keep telling me to watch my tone. Sorry, but we have a serial child predator in the White House openly encouraging violence against Congress. There’s no moral high ground left to tiptoe on and I’m done pretending this is normal politics. If you're not willing to try different, step aside.

This race is about who can actually deliver for Maryland. I’m focused on affordability, accountability, and community—not politics as usual. Maryland’s 6th deserves more than another insider running the same old playbook. It’s time for a representative who gets things done.

Rep. Clay Higgins voted exactly how you’d expect from someone who’s endorsed the Oath Keepers and bragged about being a Three Percenter. He’s been married four times—with his first wife alleging he threatened to kill her and his second accusing him of being more than $140K behind on child support.

New day, same mission: stand up for Marylanders and push for real progress. And watching yesterday’s news, it’s wild how some folks still treat public office like a reality show. We deserve leaders who know the job is to serve, not perform

Trump tells a female reporter “Quiet, Piggy.” We’ve seen this before—and if this is how he talks on camera, imagine the behavior we never see. Suddenly the allegations women like Katie Johnson have raised over the years don’t feel so far-fetched, do they?

You’re elected by the people—your full-time job, in case you’re forgetting, is to listen to the people and not betray them. That’s what you need to do.

This is progress, but don’t applaud @senbillferg.bsky.social for this change of heart—he’s the reason it didn’t pass back in April. He wields too much power in Maryland politics, power that belongs with the people.

TACO Friday, apparently! Trump bailed on his own tariffs once they started detonating the economy and jacking up prices. Who could’ve guessed? 🌮

It sounds dramatic, but ignoring or bypassing the security standards that protect this country is a real national security risk. What Kash Patel has done is absolutely disgraceful. We deserve a government that takes these issues seriously.

If you ever wonder who the system is built to serve, look at who gets defended without hesitation. Goldman Sachs backing Kathy Ruemmler says plenty. If we want accountability, then we have to dismantle the structures that let the elite protect themselves at everyone else’s expense.

Epstein shows us exactly how the rich and powerful operate: they protect themselves, and the system protects them right back. I’m running to tear that down and put power back where it belongs—with you. Demand action. Demand change. Help us fight: buff.ly/pcLpT3Q

Full stop — the American people deserve to know the full truth about the Epstein network and every public official who has delayed, restricted, or obstructed that information. Anyone involved in shielding abusers or protecting the powerful is complicit in that corruption. No exceptions. No excuses.

I’m all for transparency and glad the Epstein files are finally seeing daylight. But dropping them today? When Congress is about to screw over working families with a garbage CR? We’ve got a shutdown fight on our hands so maybe focus on that first.

I’m grateful to every service member who raised their hand to serve. The Veterans in my life have taught me about duty, sacrifice, and what it means to put others first. Today I thank them and renew my commitment to fight for the care, jobs, and respect they deserve.

From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, the Marines have carried a legacy of strength and service for 250 years. To every Marine who’s served, thank you for your sacrifice and your pride. Semper Fi!

Customer service line for democracy is open.

Love is love. Always has been. Always will be. As a bisexual man, who I love should never be up for debate. I am thrilled to see the Supreme Court reject the challenge to Obergefell v. Hodges. 🏳️‍🌈

A reporter just asked Sen. Jeanne Shaheen if their decision furthers the divide in the Democratic Party and she feistily answered "No." Try again, Jeanne. I'm not happy and neither are the people I'm running to represent.

Angus King. Tim Kaine. Dick Durbin. Jeanne Shaheen. John Fetterman. Catherine Cortez Masto. Jacky Rosen. Maggie Hassan. PRIMARY ALL OF THEM—we need leaders who put the people first. Funny how “public service” always seems to serve the public last.

It’s wild that anyone’s giving MTG credit on her “redemption tour.” She’s pushed white replacement theory, Pizzagate, 9/11 denial, and Parkland “false flag” claims—even called for executions of political opponents. Say what you want, but she hasn’t changed.

The enhanced ACA tax credits should be permanent — and they should be a bridge to single-payer. Instead, the GOP would rather shut down the government and gut the middle class than extend them a single year. That says it all.

Local politician Senator Mike McKay is calling on @govwesmoore.bsky.social to take action and @repaprildelaney.bsky.social is silent—no one should have to worry about being able to afford water. I am running to bring back affordability, accountability, and community to MD-06.

Credible rumors say former Rep. David Trone may jump into MD-06 — meaning I could be up against two establishment “incumbents,” both 60+ and worth $100M+. Maryland’s done with politics for the wealthy. Join my fight for real progressive change: buff.ly/erizck1

For the first time in a year, I’m waking up with hope for democracy. 230 days until my primary—and I’m ready to carry this momentum forward, show my establishment opponent the door, and keep building this progressive movement. Join us: www.ethanformd.com/donate

I’m beyond excited for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on this incredible victory! His tireless commitment to equity, dignity, and real progress is what public service is all about. The people won big tonight and the future is bright for our party.

Congratulations to @mikiesherrill.bsky.social on a well-earned victory in New Jersey — strong leadership, proven results, and a bright future ahead.

Congratulations to @abigailspanberger.com on her historic win in Virginia — a victory for democracy and for the Commonwealth’s future.

Democracy only works when we all take part. Every election — big or small — helps shape the future of our communities. It’s important to stay informed and stay engaged, but most of all, it’s important to make your voice heard at the polls.

Thrilled to see @govwesmoore.bsky.social step up and fund the gap in SNAP benefits. This ensures no Maryland family goes hungry because of political grandstanding — a win for compassion and common sense.

Air traffic controllers are doing their jobs under impossible conditions — but Washington isn’t doing theirs. I stand with every controller and aviation worker holding this system together while politicians play games. They deserve better.
