While Texans are in mourning from devastating floods, Trump & Gov. Abbott are rushing an off-cycle gerrymandering scheme that would rig the midterm elections, suppress voters, and undermine democracy. I’ve spent my career advocating for voting rights. We must defend them now more than ever.

Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia Statement on Governor Abbott's Decision to Call a Special Session on Redistricting

Congresswoman Nikema Williams@repnikema.bsky.socialJul 11(source)

#Republicans know their unpopular agenda will cost them the House, so they're attempting to cheat to steal power so they can keep taking healthcare away from marginalized people. Every #vote and every voice matters. We will not back down.

Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia Statement on Governor Abbott's Decision to Call a Special Session on Redistricting

Rep. Sylvia Garcia@sylviagarcia.house.govJul 11(source)

That is $8B in economic impact when families are already feeling the pinch. He must reverse this decision now. We need to keep the TSA in place.

Rep. Sylvia Garcia@sylviagarcia.house.govJul 11(source)

🍅 Trump’s push to end the Tomato Suspension Agreement (TSA) by July 14 would trigger a 17% tariff on tomatoes imported from Mexico. Salsa will be pricier, shelves emptier, and groceries more expensive. Tens of thousands of jobs, including 30,000 Texans, will be at risk.

At a time when lawmakers face rising threats of violence, Randy Fine’s racist, Islamophobic smear is vile and dangerous. Hate like this has no place in Congress, or anywhere. An attack on one is an attack on all. I stand with my colleague @repilhan.bsky.social

Rep. Sylvia Garcia@sylviagarcia.house.govJul 10(source)

We all have a stake in this fight. We must stand up and demand that Trump allows the CFPB to fulfill its mission of protecting consumers.

Rep. Sylvia Garcia@sylviagarcia.house.govJul 10(source)

We need to make sure the CFPB can do the work it was created to do, to stop big banks and corporations from cheating Americans. Trump doesn’t get to pander to working people while doing the banks’ dirty work.

Rep. Sylvia Garcia@sylviagarcia.house.govJul 10(source)

Imagine thinking that “support the troops” means letting banks keep $80 million they stole from service members, veterans, and their families. Trump is allowing this to happen under his watch.

Trump's CFPB has cancelled an $80 million refund to American consumers that were being illegally charged overdraft fees.

.@housedemocrats.bsky.social are united and fighting back against the Trump and Republican Big Ugly Bill that guts Medicaid and SNAP, and we’re standing firm to protect the working families, children, seniors, and veterans who depend on them. We will not stop.

Rep. Sylvia Garcia@sylviagarcia.house.govJul 3(source)

@housedemocrats.bsky.social are united against Trump’s #BigUglyBill, which will gut Medicaid and SNAP for millions of Americans. Shame on Congressional Republicans for ramming this abomination of a bill through the House at the expense of working families, seniors, veterans, and children.

Rep. Sylvia Garcia@sylviagarcia.house.govJul 1(source)

In Texas, 1 in 5 kids go hungry. Yet Senate Republicans have abandoned all decency & voted for the largest cut to SNAP food assistance in U.S. history. They are literally taking food from the mouths of children, seniors & veterans to give tax breaks to billionaires. We have to stop this cruelty

Rep. Sylvia Garcia@sylviagarcia.house.govJul 1(source)

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill sells out working families. Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass this bill, which slashes Medicaid and the ACA, ripping health care from 17 million people. In Texas alone, more than 1.6 million would lose health care coverage and nursing homes will be forced to shut down

Rep. Sylvia Garcia@sylviagarcia.house.govJul 1(source)

🚨 Rips health care away from 17 million Americans — the biggest Medicaid cut EVER. 🚨 Slashes funding for SNAP food assistance — the largest cut in the program’s history 🚨 Hikes costs, kills jobs, and stuffs billionaires’ pockets while exploding the deficit. We need to kill this bill in the House.

Donald Trump’s One Big, Ugly Bill just passed the Senate. 🚨 One of the most devastating bills for working people in U.S. history. ⬇️

Rep. Sylvia Garcia@sylviagarcia.house.govJun 30(source)

Trump’s cruel immigration crackdown isn’t just inhumane; it’s an economic disaster for Houston. Immigrants are 38% of Texas construction workers & ICE raids are gutting job sites and ripping families apart. We can’t build our future by destroying communities www.houstonchronicle.com/business/rea...

ICE arrests rattle Houston's construction workers as labor shortage grows

ICE enforcement is stoking anxiety among immigrant workers, who make up over a third of Houston’s construction labor. Contractors warn the labor shortage will deepen as deportations rise.

Rep. Sylvia Garcia@sylviagarcia.house.govJun 26(source)

Ten years ago today, the Supreme Court made same-sex marriage the law of the land—a historic victory for love, equality, and justice. But the fight isn’t over. We must keep moving forward. #EqualityDay @equality.house.gov

Rep. Sylvia Garcia@sylviagarcia.house.govJun 24(source)

Today marks three years since #RoevWade was overturned. Let’s be clear: abortion is health care, and your health care decisions belong to you—no one else. As a proud @reprocaucus.bsky.social Member, today and every day, I trust you to make decisions about your life, health, and body.
