I'm Harry Jarin. I'm a small business owner and a volunteer firefighter. I'm running for Congress in Maryland's 5th district against Steny Hoyer, the longest-tenured Democrat in Congress, who's been in the seat since 1981 - before most of us were born!

Thank you to the members of @indivisiblebowiemd.bsky.social for inviting me to your recent meeting. Groups like yours remind me of why I’m running for office in the first place. You are informed, engaged, and ready to fight for something better, but our representatives aren't matching that energy.

Last week, 47 Democrats voted “present” on an impeachment resolution, including my 86-year-old Congressman, Steny Hoyer. This was the least courageous option possible – a way of showing up physically while opting out morally. This crisis won't end until Dems understand accountability isn't optional.

Here is the simple ask, Rep. Hoyer: If you’re running again, tell us now, so voters can evaluate that decision honestly. If you’re retiring, tell us now, so this district can have the open primary we deserve.

Supporting Ukraine is one of the few bipartisan things left in American politics. I’ve been deeply involved in aid efforts since the full-scale invasion in 2022. I’ve helped gather donated supplies/vehicles from US fire/EMS departments, and I’ve been over there myself.

"Color revolution" is a Russian term used to refer to the Rose Revolution (Gerogia, 2003), Orange Revolution (Ukraine, 2004), and others in post-USSR states. Kari Lake also used it today. This entire administration is full of traitors in the thrall of Moscow, up to and including Trump himself.

I was thrilled to join @citizensimpeachment.com as one of their Courage Candidates calling for the immediate impeachment and removal of Donald Trump.
Stay tuned for video of my remarks from yesterday's press conference in Washington, and be sure to check out these other great candidates.

The New York Times' story about Trump calling for the execution of members of Congress ran on Page 16 today, with an itty-bitty promo on the front about halfway down the page.
No wonder Trump thinks he can get away with anything.

Yesterday, Trump called for the execution of 6 Members of Congress.
Trump must be removed from office. Today. He is a clear & present danger to this country. Invoke the 25th Amendment, or impeach & convict him. Now. He is an immediate danger to this country. He must be removed from office today.

Very similar dynamic with the senior crew of Dem leadership in the US, who learned politics in the Clinton years and have been trying to appeal to non-existent moderate Republicans without success throughout the entire decade of Donald Trump. (This includes my 86-year-old rep/opponent, Steny Hoyer.)
Would love to see someone from the moderate, Majority Dem faction really address and wrestle with the political effects of what Labour has been up to.

If the President can impose his own taxes and use the proceeds to spend on his own projects, all without Congress, we have a dictatorship not a constitutional republic.

In Chicago, Rep. Chuy García secretly decided to retire. At the filing deadline, he had his chief of staff file to run so she wouldn’t face any competition. That’s shameless political corruption, and it’s exactly the kind of insider maneuvering that makes people lose faith in politics altogether.

What’s the lowest you’ve ever been paid at a job? Drop it in the comments, I want to hear. For me, it was $9/hour (plus a chicken sandwich), working in a food truck in Philly during college. That was 15 years ago, and yet today, millions of workers are still earning less than that!

I spoke last night at the South County Democratic Club in Galesville to share why I’m running and why the Democratic Party needs big changes to win back the voters we've lost.
It was great to share the stage with some other amazing candidates who are stepping up right here in Anne Arundel County!

There’s a big fight over gerrymandering here in Maryland. Trump knows Republicans are likely to lose the House next year, so he called up his minions in Texas + other GOP-controlled states to rig the elections in their favor, silence Democratic voters, and lock in minority rule.

Good morning, Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics and tried to replace her with a guy that has a giant painting of a Nazi battleship as his Zoom background, so now we rely on inflation numbers from DoorDash sponsored by Carl's Jr.

I can explain this, at least in part. That generation of Dem leaders learned politics in the Clinton years. Clinton started out with a fairly liberal agenda, but Dems got shellacked in the '94 midterms. The lesson they drew was to not appear too lefty and "triangulate" using Republican framing.
One of the many problems with the elected leadership of the Democratic Party right now is that most of us have no idea why they are doing what they are (apparently) doing. Why would they cave *right now* for essentially nothing? What is the logic, even if it's dogshit logic? Totally unclear. 1/2

From the other hellsite: MAGA celebrating Schumer and the Democrats caving on the shutdown. GOP knew they were losing this fight politically, people were blaming them for SNAP benefits being cut and air traffic chaos, and they lost bigly in last Tuesday's elections. Democrats bailed them out again.

Jeanne Shaheen confesses live on Fox News that this whole thing was orchestrated with Schumer, and that she and six other Dems who aren't up for reelection next year are taking the fall for him. Schumer should be out of leadership by the end of the day.

Schumer is not the right choice for leadership. This deal was atrocious and bad politics. We all know Schumer negotiated it and had 7 non-brain-damaged Dems who are either retiring/not up for election next year take the fall for him.
