Well this sure as hell isn’t incriminating! Nothing to see here.

🚨🚨🚨 Did you know that Fox News manipulated Donald Trump's answer about releasing the Epstein files during the presidential campaign? What are Fox and Trump trying to cover up?

BREAKING: FOX News deliberately manipulated Trump's answer on the Epstein Files in an interview last year. He was planning to cover for Epstein from the start. Oversight Dems are demanding answers from FOX executives for their part in this cover-up. Trump must release the files.

The Texas flood tragedy is horrific, but Oversight Dems have a responsibility to investigate. We need to find out what went wrong and how Trump’s mismanagement of FEMA may have impacted our response.

Fuck yes that’s right.

Superman, Star Wars, Star Trek, X-Men. If you are upset because you think your favorite characters are woke or the stories are progressive, then I’m sorry to say but you never understood the characters or the stories. Comics are political. Sci-Fi is political.

“I think that we’ve got to be fighters in this moment.” — Ranking Member Robert Garcia as he takes the helm of the Oversight Committee.

As Democrats spoil for a fight, a new face in the House is leading them on oversight

Rep. Robert Garcia is the new top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee. At a moment when his party is craving more confrontation with President Trump, he says he's ready to lean into the fray.

100%!!

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJul 12(source)

Thanks great time.

Superman was incredible and I highly recommend. Great themes around immigration, a billionaire obsessed with power, international conflict, and being a good human. Truth & Justice, Always!

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJul 11(source)

Superman opens this weekend, so @jimacosta.bsky.social and I talked about his immigration story, his billionaire arch nemesis, and how Fox News is losing its mind over a character who represents Truth & Justice.

RFK Jr is a tin foil hat conspiracy theorist and his ongoing destruction of our vaccine program must be exposed and stopped.

Open post ↗

Last month, RFK Jr. fired the CDC’s panel of vaccine experts and replaced them with anti-vaxxers. Make no mistake: Americans will die. Ranking Members Robert Garcia and @congressmanraja.bsky.social are demanding Secretary Kennedy stop playing politics with lives at stake.

Release the Epstein files!

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJul 9(source)

I’m a long time Superman fan, and I want to be clear: The Superman story is an immigration story of an outsider who tries to always do the most good. His arch nemesis is a billionaire. You don’t get to change who he is because you don’t like his story. Comics are political.
