Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point. The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math. Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

I’m ready to go on the road in California and start hosting town halls - in Republican districts. If GOP House members won’t hold town halls in their districts, we will.

It’s important for all Americans - including those that watch Fox News - to understand how shameful and dangerous Trump’s actions were in the Oval Office against our ally Ukraine.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialMar 1(source)

I’ve got Trump, Elon, Mace and Marjorie all after me. Bring it on.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialFeb 28(source)

This Oval Office meeting is a total disgrace. The attacks on Ukraine, on Zelenskyy, on Biden - a shameful response from an American President. I’m disgusted.

Garcia: Elon Musk, what are you afraid of? Don’t be afraid to come before our committee—that’s what I’d say to him. I’m not sure why he’s so scared of folks like myself, Jasmine Crockett, or Maxwell Frost.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialFeb 25(source)

Elon is still a dick.

Robert Garcia isn’t backing down, saying he’s being threatened with legal action over a “metaphor.”

Trump’s Dept of Justice threatens gay congressman for calling Elon Musk a “d**k”

Robert Garcia isn't backing down, saying he's being threatened with legal action over a "metaphor."

Thank you!

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialFeb 23(source)

We are not going to be silenced, and we are not going to allow Elon Musk and Donald Trump to attack Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security without strong opposition from Democrats in Congress.

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

No reasonable person would view my comments as a threat. We are living in a dangerous time, and elected members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. We will not be silenced.

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

If your personal rogues gallery includes the richest man on the planet and the President of the United States, you are probably doing something right.

We have a constitutional right to criticize the administration and the actions of Elon Musk. Trump’s Department of Justice should not work to silence Members of Congress. We will not be silenced.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.
