Hey everyone 👋🏽 You may have heard that I just got elected as the lead Democrat on the House Oversight Committee. That means that we will be leading investigations against the corruption of Donald Trump and those who seek to harm the American people. Let’s get to work!

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJun 21(source)

Done and thx for what you are doing.

Happy Juneteenth. Today, we celebrate freedom, honor the trailblazers who fought for progress, and uplift the immense contributions of Black Americans. We will fight for justice every single day and never forget that Black history is American history.

We will not bow down to a king.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJun 13(source)

This is an assault on a United States Senator by a reckless, lawless Administration with no respect for the Constitution. We will not be silent. We will not be intimidated. We stand with Senator Padilla.

17 million people are about to lose their healthcare. The Senate is debating the House bill this week, we must keep pushing.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJun 9(source)

Donald Trump is causing harm and chaos to distract us from the Senate debating his disastrous "Big Ugly Bill" that rips away healthcare for 16 million Americans. We need to oppose these actions & ensure that people have access to Medicaid and food assistance.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJun 8(source)

It’s been 60 years that National Guard troops have been deployed without the request of a Governor or local agencies. This will not keep people safe.

Governor Newsom is right, there is no need to deploy the National Guard in Los Angeles. This is an effort by President Trump to escalate chaos and create a crisis. I spoke with the LA County Sheriff this morning, and he made it clear that he did not request this guard deployment.
These raids have been directed towards people showing up to immigration
appointments and working people. Agents have even visited elementary schools in recent weeks. This does not make us safer.
Trump's cruel and inhumane actions are spreading terror deliberately. People have a right to peacefully protest, and we will work to defend that right.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJun 6(source)

This is insane. But well deserved for both of them.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJun 4(source)

While Trump and his family enrich themselves, Democrats are making it clear that we stand for taking on corruption and protecting our democracy. We need to fight every single day for the American worker.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJun 2(source)

Whether it’s the $400 million Qatari plane, or Trump’s meme coin scam that allows wealthy donors to buy influence with no transparency, this administration continues its blatant corruption. The Trump family will be held accountable.

I got radicalized into a YIMBY when as mayor I would see some of my progressive neighbors and constituents organize against affordable housing. They wanted more housing, just not in their neighborhood.

nothing has radicalized me into YIMBYism like going to a local town hall and seeing how unhinged and rude NIMBYs are constantly

Elon may be “leaving” his official post, but that should not stop Democrats from investigating his corruption and holding him accountable.

We won’t let California Republicans Young Kim, Ken Calvert, or David Valadao forget that they voted to kick millions off Medi-Cal and take away food assistance. Instead they gave tax cuts to billionaires. We are coming for those seats.

Wishing President Biden the absolute best and a healthy recovery. Grateful to him and his incredible work for our country. Prayers and love to Dr. Biden and the whole Biden family.
