Where my YIMBY’s at?

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

Top tier flavor combo.

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

We just launched the first bipartisan YIMBY Congressional Caucus. We have a housing crisis and we must build millions of more homes. We can make it easier to build, reform zoning, and make housing more affordable. More in Politico: www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Scoop: The YIMBYs are coming — to Congress

The actions of Mike Johnson’s new bathroom policy at the Capitol is dehumanizing and cruel. And it’s not just about a new trans member. It’s about trans Capitol staff, visitors, and the message it send to trans people across the country. Trans people are scared, angry, and we should fight for them.

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

We should be disgusted by House Republicans and their attacks on Rep McBride. We must not stand back and allow these attacks on the trans community.

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

Release the report on Gaetz.

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

We should not be surprised that the Republican House majority’s first action is to focus back on attacking trans people. It’s cruel, shameful and does nothing to address lowering costs for families.

My day yesterday: 📈📈📉📈📉📉📈💥

Folks, looks like we are getting Congressman Adam Gray! He’s now done 277 votes and more votes to count. He is going to be another California pick up and beat John Duarte!

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

I promise we are going to fight like hell to make sure that does not happen.

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

Thanks to the Democratic Caucus for electing me to serve as Caucus Leadership Representative - a position that advocates and represents newer members. Honored to join the leadership team with Hakeem Jeffries as our leader.

Why did no one tell me there was a gay sing-along Broadway night in Washington DC every Monday night. So fun.

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

And now Derek Tran has increased his lead again folks. He has flipped an Orange County seat and he’s beating Michelle Steel 🥰

Trans rights are human rights.

It’s important that Governors and Congress push and fight hard against extreme policies and officials that are trying to hurt vulnerable people and our institutions.

For historical purposes I’m re-upping that I was the first person to skeet (post) from the floor of the U.S. House last year.

For historical purposes I’m skeeting from the floor of the U.S. House. First time I think.

We must communicate everywhere and not retreat.
