We are in a constitutional crisis. The President is illegally sending people to foreign prisons. He’s defying a unanimous Supreme Court decision. Congress cannot be business as usual. We need to go to El Salvador and demand the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Secretary Kristi Noem should resign and stop cosplaying as an ICE agent.

Everyone needs to see the best moments from Bernie Sanders and AOC’s rally in front of 36,000 people today. Something big is happening in this country.

Homeland Security agents showed up at two elementary schools in my district asking for 6 different students. They lied and said they had permission from guardians to see them. Thankfully, both principals denied them access. These actions are disgusting and shameful.

I am outraged and deeply concerned that Homeland Security agents visited two Los Angeles elementary schools in communities I represent. We are demanding answers from Secretary Noem and the Trump Administration.

@Lukas Walczak can we get this graphic asap? It’s early I know….

We should all be deeply angered and concerned by the attempt of Homeland Security agents to access two elementary schools in Southeast Los Angeles. Both schools are in my congressional district and part of the Los Angeles Unified School District.

I commend the principals and staff at both schools who refused to allow the agents to enter without a warrant, and I’m grateful to Superintendent for working to protect all students across Los Angeles.

It’s outrageous that Homeland Security would target children, and as a member of the Homeland Security Committee in Congress, I’m demanding answers immediately from Secretary Noem and the Trump Administration. We will not allow our students and their families to be intimidated or harmed.

Garcia: The man can't even go and play video games anymore because the people he's playing with are harassing him. And I think that he understands that he's the most unlikable person in this country

What did Marjorie Taylor Greene know about the tariff announcements and what stock trades did she make? We need answers.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialApr 10(source)

These people are idiots.

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

I had to remind Marjorie Taylor Greene and our Oversight Chairman James Comer that RFK Jr. caused a measles outbreak and that he’s an anti-vax conspiracy theorist. And Rep. Greene is the biggest anti-vaxxer in Congress.

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

MAGA-NOMICS is increasing taxes and wiping out retirement accounts, yet Marjorie Taylor Greene and the DOGE committee are focused on the costs of furniture and office space. Totally ridiculous.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialApr 7(source)

MAGA-NOMICS.

“They’re eating the checks, they’re eating the balances.” Best sign from the protests, lmao.

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

So apparently Trump’s golden age included crashing the stock market and the largest tax hike in a generation. Is America great yet?

Hopefully Trump doesn’t send the DOJ after me again for saying that we should take the fight directly to Republicans.

Garcia: People on the ground have no interest in us holding hands with Republicans while they steamroll our priorities and our rights. They want us to fight. And I think you’re seeing a lot of Democrats now taking that fight directly to Republicans, directly to Elon Musk.

Since Republicans are scared to host town halls, I’m going into their districts and hosting them myself. I’m answering questions directly from their constituents. Where is Young Kim?
