I’m very proud of my wife for sharing the details she did. I’m disgusted by all of it. She found herself in one of those moments where she didn’t care what she lost if it helped one other person. The reality is the truth don’t care who tells it, but she told it. Love you
@allysammarco.bsky.social

I hate to break this to you guys, but for anybody who seems to think that there’s some weird timing here going on or something like that and this is not real. This is all in writing. He did this in DM‘s and text messages and so forth and it is very very very real.

I wish this was not the case. I am somebody who believed in him and I am somebody who learned a lot about him myself today and I am very proud of Ally.

And one of the most admirable things I can ever say about her is that even after the first report came out, she said yes please use my name on the record. She hoped that if she put her name on the record that would help others whether it was to speak out or stop this from happening to somebody else.

KT:
Sorry man, but why wait until now? All this shit being brought up when he’s the leading candidate. Why now when he’s been around in politics for years?

adam:
I can’t speak for the timing of anything. All I know is that she had nothing to do with the timing, but when she got the call, she told the truth.

KT:
You both have been together for years, have 2 kids yet she never mentioned anything to you or family all this time right?Sorry bud, seems like
@cnn.com
and their scumbag owners sat on this until it’s time for the election. Give the accused little time to react or prove innocence. If true, fuck him.

adam:
Listen, I have shared and lifted up Eric online for years. Many of these details which were prior to us dating are new to me, and if I knew any of it, I would’ve never supported him for anything, including a retweet. But I respect her privacy, her story and everything that she has shared today.

schoolhouserox:
And for most women, that readiness takes a very long time. Decades even.

margaret g:
Exactly 💯

So much confusion, self-blame, abject fear. The moment any type of sexual misconduct occurs, the whirlwind of emotions that descends is overwhelming. It's not uncommon AT ALL for women not to speak up & put themselves at the mercy of complete strangers and their snap judgements.

1. donald trump sends a lot of DMs and text messages. that alone means nothing nt

[orleans]

8. so you didn't read the cnn article?

here ya go

https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/10/us/eric-swalwell-sexual-misconduct-allegations-invs

[Lifeafter70]

10. I read it

And it broke my heart.
Unfortunately I recognized the grooming in the accounts told.
I so did not want to believe it.

[aeromanKC]

2. Good riddance then. Go Tom Steyer!!

Dems need to rally around and get at least one candidate on the ballot and then of course bring that person across the finish line in November!! My guy is Tom Steyer!! (Was VERY impressed with him in the Presidential campaign!!)

[Klarkashton]

4. Steyer is a buyer of cable TV ads for the last 20 years.

Other than that he hasn't done shit.

[Pris]

5. Steyer has never held an office

We don't need billionaires who can get on a ballot because they are billionaires. That's how we got Trump - money. Steyer has never held office.
Porter has held office and from what I remember people really loved her.
Tony Thurmond has held office
We have a track record on them.

[aeromanKC]

9. It's not the money. It's the person.

The Kennedy's had money and were/are American political Mt. Rushmore. (sans RFK Jr. Fuck him!!)

[choie]

12. And?

What distinguishes him as a person who’s fit and worthy to be governor?

[Pris]

16. The more we usher in billionaires with no political experience

the more we cede our power to people with wealth.
More Elon Musks, Sam Altmans, Mercer's, Leonard Leo's

Experience counts. It alway has.

[Mz Pip]

23. Pritzker is a billionaire

He seems to be doing right by Illinois.

[pinkstarburst]

24. Have Pritzger and Steyer been paying taxes on ALL their wealth

for the past 20 years? Not just what they are required to by the disgraceful laws that give billionaires every loophole and advantage, allowing them to build more and more tax-sheltered wealth while average people like me have to pay taxes on everything. I mean have they been VOLUNTARILY paying taxes on ALL of it?

If they have, I would vote for them if they were ever on a presidential ticket. If they haven't, absolutely, effing no. No to billionaires who earn their billions on the backs of hard working Americans, don't pay their fair share, and then want to skip right to running for governor or President.

No, no, no.

I don't want a country ruled by the billionaire class. Not by Musk, not by Bezos, not by Larry Ellison, and not by Steyer or Pritzger either.

[aeromanKC]

17. The progressive policies he advocates

[choie]

19. That's great but there are other

candidates who support progressive ideas and also have relevant experience. If he wants be in politics, he should run for city council.

[Pris]

15. Can't compare the 1960s with now

Billionaires have increased tremendously and what we are experiencing with Trump and Russia is a billionaire agenda.

"Billionaires 4,000 times more likely to hold political office than ordinary people"

https://www.oxfamamerica.org/press/billionaire-wealth-jumps-three-times-faster-in-2025-to-highest-peak-ever-sparking-dangerous-political-inequality-says-oxfam/#:~:text=The%20collective%20wealth%20of%20billionaires,buy%20elections%20in%20their%20country.

[aeromanKC]

18. JB Pritzker: Hold my beer

[choie]

20. Pritzker is an anomaly.

[pinkstarburst]

21. Steyer is a billionaire with zero experience

I am 100% against ANY billionaire running for major office unless they have worked themselves up in the ranks. I am not voting in California's primary because I don't live there, but I can tell you right now that if Steyer is on the ticket in 2028, he is not getting my vote. PERIOD. I am against billionaires buying their way into politics. I do not want the country ruled by Musk, Larry Ellison, Steyer, and a bunch of other rich out of touch greedy men who have never paid taxes on their wealth and only want to grift more money. We've already done that with Trump.

No. No. No.

And I'm sorry to say, that's one reason I will not vote for Pritzger either.

[UpInArms]

3. This is just sad

I will never understand

[magicarpet]

6. What is Katie Porter up to ? (nt)

[fujiyamasan]

7. She's still hanging in there

Hopefully she’ll pick up the slack and get most of his support. Wasn’t thrilled with some of her actions earlier like the videos with the staffer, but obviously circumstances have changed. I’m skeptical of these allegations, but right now it’s too much noise.

I’m probably getting behind Porter now.

Both him and Steyer need to drop out. This jungle primary could seriously still pit two republicans against each other.

[Marie Marie]

11. Damn it all to Hell!!! I really liked him - thought he was one of the good guys. Another huge disappointment.

Another man who was smart enough to know better. Do they really think that this clandestine shit will never come out? Not to mention the betrayal to his family. And this sounds like it went beyond cheating - this sounds like true sexual assault/rape. That's it - time to vote for women to run the whole damn show. I'm sure we have a few pervs (Ms Maxwell for one) but I'm sure far fewer than the males who think all the women of the world find them irresistible and want them.

Oh and to THOSE guys (you know who you are) here is a clue: Unless a woman is already in either an intimate relationship or has been a consenting sexual partner with you - keep your Dick pics. No body is asking for those and maybe not even the women I mentioned above. Just don't even think about it - unsolicited, it grosses most women out.

JMHO - end of rant.

[orleans]

13. i agree with your "rant"

including that second paragraph (which also gave me a chuckle )

[róisín_dubh]

14. Right on

I’ve been with my partner for years and he’s on the road a lot. He’ll get a sense of my mood before he sends me any intimate photos. If I’m tired or not feeling a sexy chat, he’ll leave me alone and I don’t get a barrage of dick pics.
That, my dudes, is consent.

[Kid Berwyn]

22. A political professional who helped Hillary lose to Trump...

…and is now helping destroy a potential Democratic President. Smears are the GOP gold standard.

I find the timing Rovian, but the accusations heartbreaking.
