Eric Swalwell, a member of the U.S. Congress representing California’s 14th district since 2013, has been active on social media sharing his perspectives and personal reflections. Born in Sac City, Iowa in 1980, Swalwell now resides in Livermore and has a background in law with degrees from the University of Maryland.

On June 14, 2025, Swalwell posted a tweet referring to the President as “Our idiot-in-chief folks “PERADE”.” The tweet included a link to an image or video presumably related to the misspelling mentioned.

The following day, June 15, 2025, he tweeted another message comparing former President Donald Trump to a historical figure: “Donald Trump is America’s Hitler. But that’s just what @JDVance has said about him.” This statement references comments made by J.D. Vance regarding Trump.

Later that same day, Swalwell shared a more personal note on Father’s Day: “Being a dad is the best job I’ve ever had. Happy #FathersDay to the fathers, stepdads, grandpas, and mentors who show up, speak up, and lead with love—especially in tough times. Today’s for you.” This tweet highlights his appreciation for fatherhood and those who play significant roles as mentors.

Eric Swalwell graduated from the University of Maryland with both a BA and JD by 2006 and continues to serve his constituents while actively engaging with national political discourse through various platforms.
