Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) and his wife on Monday shared that their 25-year-old son, who died last week, was struggling with depression.

Thomas Bloom Raskin, a student at Harvard Law School, “had a perfect heart, a perfect soul, a riotously outrageous and relentless sense of humor, and a dazzling radiant mind,” Rep. Raskin and his wife, Sarah Bloom Raskin, wrote in a joint tribute.
