Uriel and Juan are our people. They’re Marylanders because they chose to build a life here.

I’m fucking tired of ICE ripping people from our streets with impunity and tearing apart our communities.

I’m committed to dismantling this agency and holding everyone accountable.

The streets are demanding justice. The establishment is offering statements. “Accountability” without consequences is just noise. ICE is impunity by design and when reform fails, dismantling becomes necessary.

Uriel Velasco is a devoted husband and father raising three boys with autism. He works hard and does everything right, yet ICE tore him from his family and is trying to make him disappear.

I won’t stand for it. Let’s support his family and help bring Uriel home.

Support The Velasco Family
On the morning of January 6th, 2026 our family’s worst fears came true. My brother in law was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Uriel is a beloved husband, father, brother and friend. Uriel devotes his time alongside my sister in raising their three beautiful boys who have

Border Patrol shot two people in Portland earlier today and DHS wants you to believe this is “law enforcement.” Guess what? It’s not.

It’s militarized abuse, zero accountability, and a federal agency that shoots first and lies later. This is what happens when power goes unchecked.

Arrest them now.

ICE assaulted high school students.

Let's repeat that--armed federal agents used force against unarmed teenagers who posed no threat. This is state-sponsored terrorism. The agents involved must be suspended and prosecuted.

Congress must abolish ICE and hold Noem, Bovino, and others accountable.

After today's briefing, it's clear that J.D. Vance is compromised & his conduct raised questions about judgment and credibility. No one should be allowed to wield that much power without scrutiny. Congress has a duty to act & add him to Articles of Impeachment for his role in this administration.

Neither April McClain Delaney nor David Trone will call this murder. Neither will call to abolish ICE.

They default to “transparency” and “accountability” but from who? This administration doesn’t care.

I’m done pretending otherwise. Join me, @repaprildelaney.bsky.social & @davidtrone.bsky.social?

This is such lazy journalism from @washingtonpost.com—a quick Google search would’ve shown you that Harry Jarin (@harrymd5.bsky.social) is running in this race.

This is what it’s like to challenge the establishment without big money. Go check out Harry, he’s worth a follow: harrymd5.com

Military action against Greenland is an authoritarian fantasy and a blatant violation of international law.

I condemn this unequivocally and I will burn down the dangerous lie that American power means we get to threaten, invade, or dominate anyone. I’ll fight it in Congress every single time.

My full statement on the ICE murder in Minneapolis.
January 7, 2026 at 9:58 PM
The Minneapolis killing is absolutely horrific. DHS claiming an ICE agent fired “defensive shots” is pure hypocrisy. This administration terrorizes immigrants and treats enforcement like a military campaign, then blames others when it turns deadly.

ICE doesn’t make us safer. Abolish ICE now.
January 7, 2026 at 7:57 PM
If you want representation that actually thinks for itself & doesn’t just recycle their opponent’s talking points, then I need your support.

This campaign isn’t backed by corporate PACs or the establishment. It’s powered by people like you. Even $5 helps us organize, reach voters, & keep fighting.
January 6, 2026 at 11:58 PM
There is nothing seditious about Senator Mark Kelly’s remarks. The only dangerous action here came from Pete Hegseth. Threatening a decorated veteran with loss of rank and pension for truthfully speaking his mind is authoritarian BS. Congress and the military community should condemn it immediately.

With confirmation that Tim Walz is ending his re-election bid, Democrats need to be honest. The MAGA attacks have been vile, but the real failure is our party abandoning him when he became inconvenient to the corporate-friendly status quo. He deserved better and that's on the establishment.

$5 beats corporate money every time. Link is in the bio.

Let’s cut the BS. Even if you think unauthorized military force is justified, installing the deposed leader’s right-hand woman isn’t the “transition” you think it is. It shows it was never about the people or crime, it’s about profit.

I’ll fight to end blank-check wars and regime games.
January 4, 2026 at 1:22 PM
The U.S. attacked Venezuela without a declaration of war. That’s unconstitutional. I’m running for Congress to end blank checks for endless wars.

If you can contribute $5, you help show that Western Maryland isn’t for sale to corporations and the wealthy.

This is imperialism.

You can call it anything else, but he’s said we’re running the country (with no incentive to leave) and bringing in out corporations to “fix things” who won’t be doing it for free.

If executive power is allowed to override the Constitution, then democracy is dead. Here is my official statement calling for accountability.

The installation of Machado as the new leader will only serve to confirm the corporate profit motives behind these illegitimate acts from our government.

This is about oil and the money our oligarchs stand to gain from this “transaction.”

I unequivocally condemn the brazen actions of the Trump administration against the sovereign Venezuelan people. This unprovoked military invasion is a direct violation of the War Powers Resolution and our constitutional norms.

From our family to yours, we just want to wish you a very Happy New Year! 🎊

With less than six months to go until the primary, we’re feeling grateful, energized, and yes… putting some good vibes out into the universe. Thanks for being part of this ride with us.

A government that warehouses people has already lost the moral argument.

My statement on ICE’s proposal: turning Hagerstown into a warehouse detention hub isn’t about enforcement, it’s about institutionalized cruelty.
