U.S. Representative Eric Swalwell took to social media on April 10, 2025, to comment on several pressing issues. Serving California's 14th District since 2013, Swalwell is known for his vocal stance on various national matters. The tweets reflect his perspectives on judicial issues, aviation safety, and health policy decisions influenced by party dynamics.

In a tweet posted on April 10, 2025, at 20:12 UTC, Swalwell expressed his disdain for those advocating before the Supreme Court to uphold what he views as a wrongful incarceration. He stated, "There is a special place in HELL for the people who are willing to argue to the Supreme Court that the man they MISTAKENLY sent to an El Salvador prison should stay there."

A short time later, at 21:25 UTC the same day, Swalwell turned his attention to aviation safety, questioning accountability at the executive level. He tweeted, "How many planes have to crash or collide before Donald Trump takes responsibility?"

At 21:38 UTC, Swalwell criticized House Republicans' recent votes affecting public welfare programs. He remarked on the impact of these decisions on vulnerable groups, asserting, "While Democrats are fighting like hell to protect hardworking Americans, House Republicans just voted to take away Medicaid from kids, families, seniors, and veterans to give tax breaks to billionaires. We’re not going away."

Swalwell, born in Sac City, Iowa in 1980, lives in Livermore and is an alumnus of the University of Maryland, College Park, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts in 2003 and a Juris Doctor in 2006.
