On April 17, 2025, Swalwell raised concerns via Twitter, highlighting the impact of a federal decision: “Trump froze $2.2 billion in Harvard’s funding because they wouldn’t bow to his threats. That’s funding for cancer research, Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, and more that the President is holding hostage. This is textbook extortion – period. Harvard isn’t caving, and neither will we.”
In another tweet dated April 19, 2025, Swalwell lamented the decline in international tourism to the United States and its economic ripple effects, stating: “Tourism to the United States is an EXPORT.
