Congressman Robert Garcia, representing California's 42nd district since 2023, has taken to social media to express his concerns and opinions on various political matters. His recent tweets highlight issues surrounding federal aid, the actions of former President Donald Trump, and public figures such as RFK Jr.

On January 29, 2025, Congressman Garcia criticized former President Donald Trump for allegedly causing "mass chaos and real harm" to cities and essential services. He claimed that grants to childcare centers, senior programs, and food services were under threat due to Trump's actions. Garcia demanded an immediate reversal from the President in his tweet: "Donald Trump is causing mass chaos and real harm to our cities, non-profits, and healthcare sytem. Grants to childcare centers, senior programs, and food services are under threat. We are demanding the President reverse course immediately."

Later that day, Garcia shared an update on the situation regarding federal aid. He announced a victory following substantial opposition from non-profits and officials at various levels against Trump's freeze on federal aid. Despite this success, he warned that further attempts might be made by Trump: "We won this first big fight. After massive pushback from non-profits, and local and federal officials, Trump has backed down and rescinded his freeze on federal aid. But this isn’t over and he will try again. Let’s continue to fight back against his unconstitutional actions."

In another tweet posted on January 29th, Garcia addressed public perceptions of RFK Jr., labeling him as a conspiracy theorist with misleading views on vaccinations: "I want to remind folks that RFK JR is a tin foil hat conspiracy theorist who is also a liar and anti-vaxxer. Don’t give him a single vote."
