When Democrats spent election night telling Republicans to "lawyer up," President Donald Trump made it clear he isn't going to sit there and take it. It's no secret that the Democrat Party plans to weaponize its new House majority against Trump, his administration, his allies, and even his staffers. Democrats couldn't even wait for the ink to dry on the midterm results before they started promising subpoenas and investigations. Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), the incoming chairman of House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, led the charge. He issued a victory statement laying out his investigative plans and branding Trump's relatives...

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and other Trump administration officials are likely to face subpoenas on “day one” of a Democratic majority if the party takes control of the lower chamber after the midterm elections. Garcia said a more in-depth probe into those associated with deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein will commence if Democrats regain the House. During an interview with NOTUS published Monday, the California Democrat said that “in the last few months, it feels like Republicans have decided that they’re done.”...

Democrats are weighing how to target corporations that have courted President Donald Trump’s approval if they retake the House after the midterm elections.Semafor reported that, given Democrats’ chances of retaking the House, top Democrats are now devising how to focus on alleged corruption in the Trump administration amongst other issues in their investigative agenda.“There’s opportunities to look at not just corporations that we think are enabling some of Trump’s corruption, but certainly corporations that are not supporting American families and not really focusing on affordability,” Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, said.

House Democrats on Friday launched a probe into possible conflicts of interest following the U.S. military incursion into Venezuela last weekend, seeking to learn whether Trump administration officials or oil companies have or will benefit from the situation. Democratic members of the House Oversight Committee, led by ranking member Robert Garcia, D-Calif., on Friday sent letters to the chief executives of four major oil companies — Chevron, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips and Continental Resources — ahead of a meeting with oil executives at the White House that afternoon. Democrats requested the businesspeople provide information to help lawmakers determine “who stands to privately...

New York Attorney General Letitia James, even as she already faces fraud charges and an ever-expanding scandal of criminal allegations, has launched a portal for Democrats to report and therefore dox ICE agents. After an ICE raid where federal officers arrested nine illegal aliens with criminal records in New York City, James and other Democrats flipped their lids, screaming about alleged abuses. Following the example of Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) and his fellow House and California Democrats, James launched her own ICE reporting portal, which could potentially justify yet more charges against her for violating federal immigration law. James proudly...

Senate Democrats aren't satisfied yet with the amount of violence directed at ICE and CBP agents, so they are planning to create what they call a "Master ICE Tracker to warn illegal aliens about ICE activity, and give Antifa militants more information about where exactly to position themselves for ambushes. Assaults on ICE agents have skyrocketed by 1000%, and the violence directed at them has escalated from throwing Subway sandwiches to taking potshots at them and ramming cars into agents. But, to Democrats, ICE is the modern Gestapo; it seems like this level of violence and resistance to law enforcement...

Despite some claiming they spent money out of their own pockets, several Democrats spent thousands in campaign funds to visit illegal alien and alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador, according to reporting by the New York Post.

Rep. Robert Garcia of California will take over as the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, signaling a shift toward younger leadership among his party. The ranking member position opened earlier this year when Virginia Rep. Gerald E. Connolly announced he would step down after his esophageal cancer returned. He died last month. Garcia sounded a conciliatory note after the Tuesday vote, praising the “incredible members” of the committee and its “incredible staff.” “We’re going to uplift their work and do everything we can to hold this administration accountable and focus on the corruption of Donald...

The House members are Reps. Robert Garcia, of California; Maxwell Frost, of Florida; Maxine Dexter, of Oregon; and Yassamin Ansari, of Arizona. Four House Democrats have traveled to El Salvador to, in the words of one member, remind Americans that Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, an El Salvadoran migrant who had been living in Maryland, was wrongfully deported to his home country. “While Donald Trump continues to defy the Supreme Court, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being held illegally in El Salvador after being wrongfully deported,” said California Rep. Robert Garcia, one of the four. “That is why we’re here – to...

WASHINGTON -- Four House Democratic lawmakers have traveled to El Salvador to call attention to the plight of a man the Trump administration deported to a Salvadoran prison and has refused to help return — even after the Supreme Court ruled that it was the government's duty to do so.

Yassamin Ansari of Arizona, Maxine Dexter of Oregon, Maxwell Frost of Florida and Robert Garcia of California arrived in the Central American nation on Sunday to investigate the condition of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who had lived in the United States for more than a decade. The Trump administration deported...

This is a constitutional crisis and Donald Trump must release Kilmer now.

Whenever the far left in the U.S. loses an argument — called an election — it suddenly decides it’s time to take to the streets and get violent. Now is just such a time, as America experiences a new spasm of home-grown anti-Trump, anti-Musk terrorism. It shouldn’t be tolerated. Whether it’s taking pot shots at the president, violently demonstrating in support of murderous terrorists, “swatting” people they don’t like, or destroying cars made by a person they now despise, our country once again finds extremists threatening us and our liberty. And, no surprise, it’s nearly all from the far left...

This is Robert Garcia. He was born in Peru and came to the US as an illegal immigrant. He was the Mayor of Long Beach CA from 2014-2022 and he has a big mouth. Donald Trump's actions with Elon Musk have gotten Garcia's pants in a twist and he made an overt threat to Trump and Musk. He implored Americans to kill Trump and Musk. "what the American public wants is for us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight."Nasty stuff given that there have been two attempts on Trump's life already. US Attorney Ed Martin sent Garcia a...

As the Department of Government Efficiency continues its work, Democrats' rhetoric is becoming more radical. On Wednesday, Democrat Rep. Robert Garcia spoke with CNN's Brianna Keilar about DOGE Chairman Elon Musk, as Garcia had called Musk a "d***" in a hearing earlier that day.

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson Rep. Robert Garcia just called on his fellow Democrats to confront Elon Musk with “actual weapons” for the sake of “democracy”: "What the American public wants is for us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight." From Gunther Eagleman™ 4:50 PM · Feb 12, 2025

Earlier today we told you about how CNN's Anderson Cooper reacted when Chris Sununu merely pointed out some realities about what DOGE has been finding when it comes to government fraud, waste and abuse. .. Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) says he's sharing a "d*** pic" in an oversight hearing and displays a photo of Elon Musk.

Representative Robert Garcia (D-CA) claimed Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that President-elect Donald Trump’s immigration policies were “out of step” with what “most Americans” want. Co-host Willie Geist said, “Let’s start at the end with birthright citizenship, President-elect Trump says he will get rid of it the day he gets into office. What’s your reaction?” Garcia said, “Look, I think all these new ideas that Trump is coming out with and his proclamations over the weekend, besides being unconstitutional are quite un-American and shameful. I’m an immigrant myself. I came in this country part of the time, I was not...
