On Friday, the Trump Administration issued a memo that places new and unwarranted scrutiny on attorneys in immigration and federal court. With the rise in rapid deportations with no due process, attorneys are needed now more than ever. Read our full statement: immcouncil.co/4hEeIHZ

Immigrants in Court Proceedings Will Have Even Less Access to Legal Counsel, After New Announcement

WASHINGTON, March 23, 2025—On Friday, the Trump Administration issued a memo that places new, unnecessary, and unwarranted scrutiny by ordering sanctions, reviews, and stricter oversight of attorneys ...

@aoc.bsky.social & Bernie are showing us the way - this is the message. LFG.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialMar 22(source)

Love that for you, and America.

What’s happening at these rallies with AOC and Bernie Sanders is incredible. It’s exactly the message and energy we need. People are fired up, energized, and ready to help us take on the billionaires. Looking forward to some rallies in California, LFG!

Yup, stay tuned.

If you are not willing to stand up to Nazis at this moment than you need to get out of the way.

Donald Trump lied when he said he would protect Social Security and Medicare. Elon Musk is calling Social Security a “ponzi scheme.” It’s time to Fire Elon Musk.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialMar 18(source)

Senate Democratic Leadership failed to take on Elon Musk when we needed it most. Thx @mollyjongfast.bsky.social for having me on to discuss how Democrats need to fight back.

We should be investing in our airports and passenger safety, not cutting 400 FAA positions. We need to hire more air traffic controllers and ensure that flying remains the safest way to travel.

Getting ready to hit the road and host town halls not only in my district - but in Republican districts as well. If they are too cowardly to meet their own constituents, we will meet them and answer their questions. Let’s go.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialMar 15(source)

We should not be bending the knee to Elon Musk and Donald Trump by approving his budget package. This is not a progressive or centrist issue - it’s about who the hell is going to stand up and fight for our Democracy and against Trump.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialMar 15(source)

As a former green card holder myself, these actions are dangerous and incredibly concerning. Over 100 Democrats are working together to demand answers. This is out of an authoritarian playbook.

Dems ask Trump admin to explain Khalil’s arrest, calling it ‘playbook of authoritarians’

More than 100 House Democrats sent the letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialMar 14(source)

It’s become clear that some Democrats are going to side with Elon Musk and Donald Trump. They are picking the wrong side because we won’t back down.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialMar 14(source)

Yes, fortunately my two senators in CA are voting no. But we are reaching out to whoever we can.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialMar 14(source)

Hey Senate Democrats! Do NOT cave into this horrific budget deal that only empowers Elon Musk and Donald Trump. People are counting on you to stand up for workers not the billionaire class. Who the hell are you fighting for? You still have time to reject this deal.

just a nightmare to be honest.

The ability to control mass party opinion this directly is unlike anything I’ve really seen in my time covering politics.
