We won this first big budget fight. After massive pushback from nonprofits, and local & federal officials, Trump has backed down and rescinded his freeze on federal aid. But this isn’t over and he will try again. Let’s continue to fight back against his unconstitutional actions and stay organized.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJan 29(source)

As far as I’m concerned not one of Trump’s nominees deserves a single yes vote from Democrats. Trump is already grossly violating the constitition, why are we working with him? FIGHT HIM EVERYTIME.

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

Donald Trump is stealing funds for hungry kids and seniors, while his billionaire friends get richer. This is lunacy.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJan 27(source)

These ICE raids are shameful, dangerous and must be strongly opposed.

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

Don’t normalize Trump. Stand up and fight every single time.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJan 24(source)

This is the committee not the agency. And for the record it is going to be a real agency unfortunately.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJan 24(source)

And for the record - we can’t just resign or not show up. If we did that they could still meet and pass whatever laws they wanted with no debate and no pushback. It’s not an option. And this is the house committee - not the agency that Trump is trying to set up. Committee is set up to pass laws.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJan 24(source)

If we resign they can pass whatever they want without debate. Thats not an option.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJan 24(source)

We don’t know yet. But republicans because they have majority in house have the power to create committees. Their goal is to destroy the social safety net.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJan 24(source)

So I’m one of 6 Democrats appointed to the DOGE committee. My plan is to fight, bring receipts, and bring attention to their bullshit. Would love your thoughts - how would you approach the committee?
