Trump is NOT happy that the spending deal doesn't include the debt ceiling, according to person who spoke with him this p.m. Not clear he'll publicly try to stop the bill in the Senate but Trump's the bill doesn't contain his main ask

Krypto really did take us home: With over 250 million views & a million social posts, #Superman is officially the most viewed & most talked about trailer in the history of both DC and Warner Bros. This is because of all of you: thank you!

House Democrats stood united and defeated the Musk-GOP shutdown. We will not allow the pawns of the ultra-wealthy to dismantle the hopes of the American people. My full statement.

A statement graphic that reads: For the sixth time in two years, House Republicans brought the government to the brink of a shutdown that would have withheld pay from our troops, stranded travelers at airports, and taken food from hungry families. But once again, House Democrats stood strong, stood united, and defeated Republicans’ worst impulses.
“Let’s be clear about what happened this week. On orders from the world’s richest man, Republicans tore up their own bipartisan agreement then needlessly threw the country into days of uncertainty during the holiday season. This is a stark preview of the next two years of Republican-controlled government. No spine. No courage. Just deference to billionaires.
“We already know Elon’s next directive: Break your campaign promises, cut $2.5 trillion from Social Security and Medicare, then use it to lower his taxes. House Democrats will continue to stand with working families. We’re going to keep fighting back in the new Congress. We will not allow the pawns of the ultra-wealthy to dismantle the hopes of the American people.”

Government funding bill passes in the House. 34 Republicans vote no. One Democrat votes present.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 20(source)

And we have more fights ahead. We need to permanently fund health centers. We need to continue cancer research funding. We need to provide more local and state funds. We need to win the majority in 2026 and push back everytime.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 20(source)

The bill isn’t perfect, but shutting down the government at midnight would have hurt working people the most.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 20(source)

I would have voted for that bill but they pulled it and it wasn’t coming back. Thats why we need to win the majority.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 20(source)

Elon Musk and Donald Trump tried to shutdown the government and raise the debt limit to pass huge tax cuts for their billionaire friends - but we stopped them. The government stays funded and we move forward. Don’t ever stop fighting.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 20(source)

damn ur so right. 😏

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 20(source)

Anyone heard from Vice President Trump yet today?

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 20(source)

Some thoughts: - love Clark - love the monster attacking metropolis (classic Supes) - fuck yes Krypto - I bet there’s a kryptonite bullet in Lex gun.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 20(source)

I started getting teary when Clark and Lois were looking at each other as the giant orb was in the background. Then it hit me that this was going to be so special.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 20(source)

I have and love it.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 20(source)

Have probably watched the Superman trailer like 10 times now and holy shit I’m so excited. Nice to be hopeful about something.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 20(source)

The world’s richest man now wants to shut the government down so he can transfer the wealth of working class people to himself and his companies. And the Congress and Trump have bent the knee. It’s totally crazy.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 19(source)

Donald Trump may bend the knee to Elon Musk - but we won’t.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 19(source)

@jamesgunn.bsky.social let’s do Superman movie event or screening at the Library of Congress!

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 19(source)

Welcome to the Elon Musk presidency, where Donald Trump is now clearly the Vice-President. They want a government shutdown that would hurt millions of Americans. It’s totally insane.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 19(source)

Democrats should never bend the knee to Musk or Trump. They want to destroy the social safety net. Our job is fight them every single day they are in power. Period.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 19(source)

About to join msnbc to talk about the Elon Musk presidency.
