The CDC just lost hundreds of experts in HIV prevention, immunization, and disease tracking. Calling this “efficiency” is a lie—it’s sabotage. Public health isn’t bureaucracy; it’s life-saving infrastructure. We’ll all pay the price for gutting it.

Margaret Thatcher is the politician she most admires—she may be against Chavez and Maduro, but don’t let her hide from what she believes.

A military base in America is where folks finally draw the line on Qatar—not the $400M jet, the World Cup human rights abuses, or terrorism financing. It’s an abomination that shouldn’t happen, but let’s not pretend our “relationship” with them hasn’t been rotten for years.

Dominion Voting Systems was just sold to “Liberty Vote.” Rebranding won’t rebuild trust. Election systems need transparency, independent audits, and nonpartisan oversight—not new logos and PR. Democracy depends on accountability, not ownership changes.

Hearing officials talk about “lasting peace” without addressing the reality on the ground shows how little we’ve learned. Peace can’t exist without accountability, equality, and the protection of human rights—otherwise Palestine will always be looking over their shoulder.

Funny how the 8 GOP senators mad about “government spying” don’t seem bothered by the incredibly moist Peter Thiel and Palantir watching your every move without limits.

Stephen Miller calling it “plenary authority” is just code for “laws don’t apply when we break them.” Goebbels thought the same thing too, buddy.

Too much Tylenol? Maybe. But I do understand how protectionist trade policies tank economic welfare. // www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMkNRApV/

I am sure that Kash Patel will investigate and charge Stephen Miller for inciting political viol…who the fuck are we kidding, that’s not going to happen and the establishment won’t do anything but write letters. If only you had an alternative running for Congress?

Fun fact: it was Ronald Reagan—the actor?—who signed the law requiring hospitals to treat undocumented immigrants. So the next time someone yells about “illegals in the ER,” tell them to take it up with their conservative icon.

Two years ago, I warned that Israel’s unchecked power and indifference to human suffering would lead to tragedy. Greta Thunberg’s heinous treatment is another attempt to silence the truth. We can’t keep looking away. The world must demand accountability and an end to genocide.

Government is, and must always be, accountable to the people. Call your representatives and demand answers, accountability, and action for the brutality of the ICE raid in Chicago. If they won’t answer, remember—some of us are running to replace them, and we won’t stop fighting.

“The Life of a Showgirl” is also, apparently, the working title for Trump’s meeting with Russell Vought today.

I opposed H.R. 719 to “condemn” political violence because it wasn’t about principle—it was about Charlie Kirk. In just 24 hours after a mild critique of Hegseth & Trump, I was flooded with threats against me, my wife, my kids, and extended family. The common thread? MAGA.

Please spare me the “warrior ethos” talk. I grew up with men who earned medals, not microphones. I may not have served, but I damn sure know how to fight fascists.

A shutdown hurts families, workers & vets—but it exposes what’s broken in Washington. The silver lining? A clear reminder we need leaders who put people over politics and fix the dysfunction so communities aren’t left in the crossfire again.

From Southport to Grand Blanc, America’s gun violence crisis won’t be solved with talking points or posturing. It requires real reform. Universal background checks and red flag laws have broad bipartisan support—it’s time to act before more innocent lives are lost.

My heart goes out to the victims and families in Southport and Grand Blanc. As a survivor of gun violence, I know the pain and trauma these tragedies leave behind. No community should endure this heartbreak. We mourn with you and hold hope for a better future together.

Trump’s 100% tariff on imported pharmaceuticals isn’t “national security”—it’s a tax on Americans. At a time when we should be lowering drug costs, this stunt will only make medicine more expensive. We need solutions that lower prices, expand access, and safeguard healthcare.

Former Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters’ assault on teachers’ unions is an assault on the very foundation of our education system. Supporting teachers means protecting their right to organize—and making sure they have the pay, resources, and respect they deserve.

Republicans control the White House and Congress—if the government shuts down, that’s on them. Democrats shouldn’t bail them out. If I were in Congress, I’d hold the line: no deal without at least extending ACA tax credits. Families deserve better than this partisan circus.

At an event yesterday, I was asked if I consider myself anti-fascist. My answer: absolutely yes. Even as Trump tries to label Antifa as “terrorists,” the truth remains—standing against fascism isn’t radical, it’s necessary. Democracy depends on it.

I had a great time this afternoon with @indivisiblefredfwd.bsky.social! Grateful for the chance to meet so many passionate folks and hear directly about the issues that matter most to them.

I grew up in Virginia and studied at Virginia Tech. I even got my start in politics on a Virginia governor’s race. I know what real leadership looks like—and Abigail Spanberger is the right person to lead the Old Dominion.

It’s possible to have compassion and a backbone. It’s possible to condemn and not capitulate. It’s possible to fight hard without losing our humanity. There are people ready to lead this way—I’m one of them. Help support me to fight for what matters. secure.actblue.com/donate/ethan...

The current climate of polarization and political violence would make anyone think twice about running for office. But I won’t back down. This campaign is about building a future where my daughters—and all of us—inherit a safer, stronger, more united country.

Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension isn’t just TV drama—it’s a warning. When regulators threaten networks and shows get pulled under pressure, free speech chills. In a democracy, dissent can’t be silenced because it offends. Debate must win over censorship.

Like so many, I remember exactly where I was on 9/11—confused, afraid, knowing the world had changed. Today we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost, honor the heroes who ran toward danger, and reflect on a day that shaped a generation. We will never forget.

I often disagreed with Charlie Kirk—but no one deserves to be shot for their politics. His assassination is tragic, and my thoughts are with his loved ones. Gun violence has no place in a democracy. We have to reject extremism before more lives are lost.

Clinton’s allegedly in Epstein’s birthday book. If he’s guilty of anything beyond association, prosecute him. No excuses, no whataboutism. See how easy that was? Funny how some folks struggle with it.

SCOTUS just green-lit ICE to restart racially based raids in L.A.—legalizing profiling based on language, race, job, or where someone lives. This isn’t law enforcement—it’s weaponized discrimination. You need a representative who won’t back down. That’s why I’m running.

Authoritarian threats. Public health under attack. Cities treated like war zones. This is the moment we’re in—and why I’m running. I can’t do it alone. Your support fuels the fight for what matters. secure.actblue.com/donate/ethan...

Trump threatening to ‘invade’ Chicago is pure bullshit. Cities need investment, not troops — and thank God Illinois has @govpritzker.illinois.gov standing up to this nonsense.

RFK Jr. running HHS is like putting an arsonist in charge of the fire department. An anti-science conspiracy theorist leading public health isn’t reform—it’s an embarrassment and an insult to every doctor, nurse, and researcher who’s spent their careers saving lives.

Florida just ended vaccine mandates for measles, polio, and more. That’s not freedom—it’s reckless. Public health isn’t optional, and kids shouldn’t pay the price. Leaders should stand for prevention, not neglect.

If you dump 33,000 pages of Epstein files and they’re mostly repeats, that’s not disclosure—it’s BS in a trench coat. We’ve got to keep the foot on the gas until the full story is out. Survivors deserve answers. The public deserves accountability.

RFK Jr. isn’t a “maverick.” He’s a conspiracy-peddling grifter who cozies up to extremists and undermines public health. He’s not fighting for the people—he’s a disaster wrapped in a last name. America deserves leaders who solve problems, not create them.

My heart breaks for the victims in Minneapolis. I grew up during the Columbine era. I survived Virginia Tech. Gun violence is a uniquely American crisis—and lawmakers keep failing us. I support the 2A, but I refuse to accept a future of endless shootings. Enough is enough.

Congrats, Washington—you’ve managed to turn basic package delivery into a luxury. Killing the de minimis exemption means delays or refusals, surprise tariffs, and higher costs. Tariffs don’t hit corporations first. They hit your doorstep.

Troops in tourist zones aren’t public safety—they’re a photo op. Across the country, we’ve failed to invest in housing, schools, and mental health. Real safety doesn’t come from soldiers on the streets. It comes from strong communities.

Thank you @ethanformd.com for signing the #termlimits on Congress pledge. www.termlimits.com/wp-content/u...

Authoritarianism eats its own. John Bolton—Trump’s ex–NatSec Advisor—just had his home raided. Today it’s Bolton, tomorrow it could be anyone. We don’t need more letters—we need fighters in Congress who won’t back down. That’s why I am running, I’m not afraid.

Congress isn’t supposed to be a retirement plan—it’s should serve us. MD’s own @hoyer.house.gov went to Congress 7 years before I was born—and he’s still there. Democrats need change. The country needs change. It’s time for the next generation which is why I’ve pledged to fight for term limits.

Hurricane Erin shows what’s at stake: if FEMA fails, recovery becomes a gamble. I’m running because Maryland deserves leaders who’ll fight for systems people can count on when everything is on the line.

Funny how it’s “socialism” when Mamdani talks about feeding kids or funding buses—but when Trump wants the U.S. to take ownership in private companies, suddenly it’s capitalism. Bold move, comrade. 🔗 www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Members of Congress shouldn’t treat their seats like a Wall Street side hustle. While Bresnahan, McClain Delaney, and others play the market, I’ll put every asset in a blind trust. I’m not running for profit. I’m running to fight for you. 🔗

Trump is calling to eliminate voting machines and mail-in ballots. This has nothing to do with "integrity" and everything to do with suppression. He knows he can’t win fairly, so his solution is to rig the rules — silence voters, dismantle the system, and call it democracy.

European leaders aren’t just showing up—they’re showing up for democracy. While Trump cozies up to dictators and floats selling out Ukraine, the free world is sending a message loud and clear: sovereignty isn’t a bargaining chip, and Ukraine is not for sale. #StandwithUkraine

Ohio, West Virginia, and South Carolina are shipping their Guard troops into D.C. Our Nation’s capital is being occupied by soldiers sent by Governors eager to do Trump’s bidding. Democracy doesn’t end with a bang — it ends with quiet compliance. And we’re watching it happen.

@cagovernor said it best: Enough weakness. It’s time to dominate the narrative, take the fight head-on, and stand for what matters. That’s the campaign I’m running in MD-06. Help me build it: ethanformd.com
