Just dropped a new interview with Rep @robertgarcia.bsky.social on the Epstein files. We discuss how we got here, and what's likely to happen next. It's a good one! Check it out 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/rep-robert...

Rep. Robert Garcia On The Epstein Files - How We Got Here, Where We Are Going

Excited to share to this new conversation with one of the true heroes of the moment

The Oversight Committee's subpoena of the Epstein files requires the DOJ to turn over documents—regardless of any federal investigations. Even if Pam Bondi tries to slow down the bill passed by Congress, she CAN'T do the same on our subpoena. Release the files, NOW.

The government should protect victims of abuse and hold their abusers accountable. No matter who is in the files, we will bring them to justice.

Just saying.

California’s Robert Garcia will be sworn into office with the Constitution – and a priceless vintage Superman comic.

The comic is one of several sentimental items that will be underneath the Constitution when Garcia takes his ceremonial oath. The copy of “Superman” #1 will be joined by a photo of Garcia’s parents, who died of Covid-19, and his citizenship certificate, according to a Thursday tweet from Garcia.

The Epstein emails raise significant new questions Oversight Dems have for Ghislaine Maxwell. She must testify to our Committee ASAP. It's time to end the White House coverup. Ranking Member @robertgarcia.house.gov & Oversight Dems demand the full release of the Epstein files.

Mr. President, let’s stop this White House cover-up and release the Epstein files, NOW.

Donald Trump appears to be preparing to open up California coastal waters to new oil drilling. LA, Long Beach and Orange County have active coastlines that do not need new oil rigs. We will fight this with everything we have.

On Veterans Day we honor the men and women in uniform who have served our country. They are heroes and their sacrifices and love of freedom and country guide us every single day. We are forever grateful.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialNov 10(source)

This is not a deal, it’s a surrender to Trump. Senate Democrats should reject this plan that does nothing to prevent healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for millions of Americans. I’ll be a HELL NO in the House.

California stepped up to stop Trump from rigging the next election. Our district is more competitive now, but we’re ready to fight for working people - not billionaires. Today, we are launching our campaign in our new district. Join us: robertgarcia.com

Thank you, Madame Speaker!

Republicans lost big time last night - and they have the man sitting in the White House to blame. Democrats are rebuilding our party, expanding the tent, and fighting for working class voters.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialNov 5(source)

It’s starting to feel like we are so fucking back.

Today’s the day, VOTE YES on Prop 50 if you live in California and let’s stop Trump from rigging the maps! Let’s go!
