I’m sitting in our Democratic Caucus meeting and folks are fired up to stop McCarthy and his proposed and extreme cuts during these debt limit negotiations.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialMay 22(source)

Yup. Its hard to watch the level of hate and selfishness up close.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialMay 22(source)

Headed to the airport to get back to Washington DC. This is the don’t let Republicans use the debt limit debate to cut food programs week. The level of cruelty is stunning.

more people (including members of congress) need to realize that fascisim and white supremacy are linked.

Every single Republican voted to keep George Santos in Congress last week. Let’s make sure voters don’t forget that.

In 2016 when I was mayor of long beach the city hosted its first open streets event. The amount of hate calls we received was significant. We went forward anyways and now it is imo the best event the city hosts. We need more permanent street closures to cars.

Medicare for All isn’t radical. It’s the basic belief that every human deserves access to healthcare not tied to employment or where one works. Proud to now be a co-sponsor of this legislation.

New: I wrote about @robertgarcia.bsky.social’s effort to expel George Santos from Congress, and the feckless Republicans who refuse to take action. https://thehandbasket.substack.com/p/the-vote-to-get-george-out

The Republican caucus is now officially the SAVE SANTOS CAUCUS. They will do whatever it takes to protect him.

Today I forced a vote on the expulsion of George Santos from Congress. Now House Republicans have a choice to either stand for truth and justice or for a fraud and liar. The vote is likely tomorrow.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialMay 17(source)

They sure did!
