Spent the weeknd in Orange County with the OC Young Dems celebrating our progressive movement and visiting voters across Newport Beach. Let’s continue to stand together against government corruption. Onward!

Hyping up Long Beach Democrats to support our efforts to FLIP the HOUSE BLUE. And once we lead the Oversight Committee we are going to hold this President and his administration accountable. Let’s go!

The fight over the Epstein files is escalating after the DOJ admitted documents were mistakenly withheld. This comes as the House Oversight Committee votes to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi in its probe. Top Oversight Democrat @robertgarcia.bsky.social joins The Weeknight to discuss.

Here’s the thing. When you commit crimes and engage in corruption, leaving your job to do another doesn’t absolve you of your crimes. Accountability and justice are just around the corner.

Jasmine Crockett has been and will continue to be a strong and important voice in our party. She was in my freshman class and became an immediate leader. Her work on behalf of the American people and Texas is just getting stated.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

It’s a White House cover-up.

The DOJ appears to be withholding files from a survivor making allegations about the President. We need answers and must investigate.

Oversight Democrats have been investigating the handling of serious allegations by a survivor against Donald Trump when she was a minor. We have now confirmed that some of the documents related to this survivor appear to be missing from the files. Here’s what we know ⬇️

There’s a lot to investigate and report on from today’s stunning deposition of Les Wexner. But here’s something I can’t get over. I asked Mr. Wexner if the DOJ or FBI ever contacted him to ask him about Epstein and his crimes. He said NO. That’s outrageous and unforgivable.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialFeb 17(source)

Tomorrow, I’m leading a deposition of Les Wexner for oversight dems. Wexner was Epstein’s largest benefactor and contributor of wealth. Why? And what does he know? I have a bunch of questions, and I bet you do too.👇🏾

Shameful.

The more we learn about the attack on Marimar Martinez, the worse it gets: Greg Bovino actually THANKED the agent who shot a U.S. citizen five times. This agency is rotten from top to bottom and should absolutely be held accountable.

‘The DOJ Cannot Be Trusted’: A Top Democrat Unloads on the Epstein Files Saga

The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee discusses the Epstein files, accountability for the Trump administration — and what happens if Democrats take the House this fall.

Rep. Robert Garcia shows how it's done.

Screenshot of an X post by Congressman Robert Garcia (name truncated, 11h) stating that Marimar Martinez is a schoolteacher and U.S. citizen with no weapon or criminal record, and that a CBP officer shot her five times. The post adds that the officer later bragged about his actions in a group chat and calls the incident disgusting and shameful. Below is a video thumbnail of Garcia seated at a congressional hearing table, speaking, with other lawmakers visible in the background.

Huntington Beach and OC Huddle are ready to win and flip more Orange County seats blue. We are ready to focus on infrastructure investments, stopping new coastal oil drilling, and taking on corruption. Let’s go!

ICE is not welcome in Long Beach & LA.

Amazing to meet so many new voters in Orange County at the Dem OCPAC meeting. Incredible activists and new supporters across Huntington Beach and Newport Beach.

Amazing time with the Seal Beach residents at Leisure World! Thank you for the warm welcome. Looking forward to representing Orange County in 2027 thanks to California Redistricting.
