Harry Jarin for Congress

Husband, dad-to-be, small business owner, firefighter, not a career politician or lobbyist. I'm running to replace my 86-year-old Congressman, Steny Hoyer, in Maryland's 5th Congressional District. https://harryMD5.com

I realize that it’s hard to keep track of all the impeachable offenses that the Trump administration commits on a daily basis, but that shouldn’t be an excuse for allowing them to continue. In Congress, I’ll fight to impeach, convict, and remove the President and his out of control administration.

We could have built this ourselves, bombed it ourselves, and rebuilt it ourselves again, and it'd still cost less than what we've actually spent on wars in the Middle East for zero return

Holding my son makes everything feel so much more immediate and personal. I’m running for office in the first place because I want him (and every kid) to grow up in a country (and a world) that is free, democratic, stable, and secure. That’s the world I’ll be fighting for.

Toby is entering a world that feels far less stable than the one I grew up in during the 1990s. I’m so angry watching American leadership slide toward gangsterism: war with Iran, cozying up to authoritarian regimes like Russia, and picking fights with democratic allies for Trump's personal benefit.

Sorry I’ve been a little quiet on here. Our son Toby arrived earlier than expected! He’s unbelievably tiny, but doing well so far. He’ll be in the NICU for a few weeks, not much to do except watch him breathe. But I have a feeling I’ll be doing that the rest of my life! Peak millennial parenting.

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it's Monday

Trump: "Nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen. But with Tylenol, don't take it."

To be clear, the GOP majority abdicating its congressional responsibilities and ceding its power to the executive is a choice.

Republicans could call votes and end this today if they wanted to. They choose not to.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

The War Powers Resolution needs a complete overhaul because it's obviously failed, but at the end of the day, there's no procedural trick around having a Congress that's willing to stand back and watch a president flagrantly break the law and the Constitution and do absolutely nothing about it.

Our country is being run by a bunch of incompetent morons with the world's largest military budget, what could possibly go wrong?

Do we have a Constitution anymore, or is it just optional? Because if it’s the second thing it opens up a lot of options about what to do with these guys

the fact the president of the united states is even thinking about asserting emergency powers to disrupt an election - just a few years after he incited an armed coup attempt - should be the top issue. but the media mostly shrugs and the opposition doesnt focus on it.

Pete Hegseth saw this and said "a computer can never be court-martialed, therefore a computer is a great tool for committing war crimes"

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

I arrived in Kyiv on Day 38. The Russians had recently pulled back, but there were still roadblocks everywhere. The Ukrainians were prepared to fight for every block all the way into the center. Seen along the highway near Vasylkiv, "Welcome to hell, Russian f****t."

Glad we have you as our governor πŸ’•

States like ours are the true bulwarks of liberty against a Federal government gone insane

Danish PM on Facebook this morning:

β€œI am happy to live in a country where there is free and equal access to healthcare for everyone. Where insurance and wealth do not determine whether you receive proper treatment. The same approach exists in Greenland. Happy Sunday to you all”

Behold, the Yoon Seok Yeol impeachment commemorative towel.

Someday, we Americans shall too have a timestamped impeachment commemorative towel, inshallah.

a lot of you are probably too young to remember this but there was a time when the married dhs secretary using taxpayer money for a custom built fuck palace in the sky for her to bang coworkers wouldve been a big deal

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible β€œAmerica at 250!” achievement

This race for MD-5 is attracting national attention. Want to meet me in person? I'm hosting a few meet-and-greets, and I'll be at the Charles County DCC candidate forum in Waldorf on 3/5. Check my website for updates, contact my team, and stay tuned for additional events in the district!

The underlying problem is that stopping the lawless authoritarianism is ultimately not a legal problem, & there are no actual legal solutions to it. It is a political problem, & the only solution is a political one requiring a majority of votes in the House & 67 votes in the Senate.

If we’re fortunate enough to have one final chance to vote in a legitimate election in Nov., we cannot elect Congressmen and Senators from the Merrick Garland School of Cowardice and Silent Sedition.

We MUST elect champions of democracy who will fight to save America from fascism.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.
