Congressman Robert Garcia, representing California's 42nd District, has recently taken to social media to express his concerns regarding proposed actions by prominent figures such as Donald Trump and Elon Musk. His series of tweets addresses the potential impact on public services and marginalized communities.

On February 5, 2025, Congressman Garcia criticized former President Donald Trump and entrepreneur Elon Musk for their alleged plans to dismantle the Department of Education. He stated that this move aims to provide substantial tax cuts for wealthy individuals and corporations at the expense of low-income families and students with disabilities. He asserted that "we will fight to stop this unjust wealth transfer." The full tweet can be viewed here.

In a subsequent post on February 6, 2025, Garcia defended the Department of Education's role in supporting children with disabilities. He emphasized that no other agency contributes more significantly to these children's welfare and vowed not to allow Elon Musk to undermine these essential programs. The original statement is available here.

Later on February 6, 2025, Congressman Garcia criticized Trump's focus on issues unrelated to economic relief measures such as reducing grocery and housing costs. Instead, he accused Trump of targeting trans athletes while neglecting concerns about Elon Musk's access to American public data. Garcia concluded by stating that Trump is "completely unfit to lead."
