Eric Swalwell, a U.S. Congressman representing California’s 14th district since 2013, has been active on social media discussing various topics ranging from domestic politics to international affairs and sports. Swalwell, who succeeded Pete Stark in Congress, was born in Sac City, Iowa in 1980 and currently resides in Livermore. He holds a BA from the University of Maryland, College Park, and a JD from the University of Maryland, Baltimore.
On May 12, 2025, Swalwell shared an analogy comparing his child’s play with Magna-Tiles to former President Donald Trump’s handling of the economy. “My 3-year-old has this Magna-Tile set he loves. He stacks them up to make a castle. Then he SMASHES it and everything collapses. Then he builds it back up and proudly says ‘look Daddy!’ He does this over and over.” He continued by drawing parallels to Trump: “This is Trump. Smashes our economy. Rebuilds it. Wants credit.”
In another tweet posted on May 13, 2025, Swalwell criticized statements made by Kristi Noem regarding Afghanistan’s security situation. “Noem’s claim that Afghanistan’s ‘security situation has improved’ is a damning lie.” He emphasized that “Afghanistan is under Taliban control,” expressing concern for allies who fought alongside American forces now facing deportation risks.
Additionally, on May 13, 2025, Swalwell commented on the potential future of Jonathan Kuminga within Dub Nation as part of the Golden State Warriors basketball team dynamics.“Jonathan Kuminga is 15 years younger than Steph Curry. He’s the future of Dub Nation if we can make that happen.”
Eric Swalwell continues to engage with his constituents through various platforms while addressing issues pertinent to both national interests and local communities.
