Guys I’m being called America’s Gayest Congressman and I can confirm this is 100% true. 💅🏽

Just a reminder that Robert Kennedy Jr is a vaccine denier, conspiracy theorist, and believes that chemicals in water turns people trans. He’s dangerous and folks should not promote him.

Hey @jamesgunn.bsky.social just wishing you all the good vibes with Superman: Legacy and the launch of the new DCU. I really enjoyed the Flash and it tied a lot of threads from the past together. Looking forward to the future now.

It’s stunning how much science & academia are being undermined by the right wing and new age health people. Vaccines work. Don’t listen to randos and fascists.

Exciting. I want the same goose bump vibes that I get watching the helicopter scene from Superman the Movie.

A huge shout-out to the ILWU dockworkers who just negotiated a 6 year agreement that recognizes their labor and avoids a ports shutdown on the west coast. ✊🏾

Headed back to Washington DC after spending a nice weekend home. Wish me luck 😑

A lot of folks think dirty trucks are the biggest polluters in port communities but it’s actually ships by far. We must force a transition to clean fuels. My bill would create the first real emissions reduction targets for shipping companies. Thx to all the green + ocean groups for their support.

Long Beach, South Bay lawmakers hoist bill aiming to clean up port-area air

Goal: Amend the Clean Air Act of 1970 to put new caps on greenhouse gas emissions generated by the international shipping industry.

Still struggling how much official congressional stuff I should or should not post here. But here’s my statement from today:

We are witnessing our democracy push back against a President who endangered our national security and caused damage to our government institutions. The charges against Donald Trump are incredibly serious and should be treated as such by members of Congress from both parties.

Look the gays manifested this indictment for priDEMONth.

The House Republicans are a mess.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJun 8(source)

I’m shocked 😑

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJun 8(source)

I like this era.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJun 8(source)

Happy Pride to all my queers 🌈

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJun 7(source)

This happened today.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJun 7(source)

Later this morning I’m giving a tribute speech about Ru Paul on the floor of the United States House of Representatives. Happy Pride 💅🏽

Don’t worry Molly, Chris Christie will save us.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJun 7(source)

so many good spots. The city is big but some solid choices include Ammatoli in Downtown, Lola’s on Retro Row or Nick’s or Open Sesame in Belmont Shore.
