Congressman Robert Garcia, representing California's 42nd District since 2023, has recently taken to social media to express his concerns and opposition regarding actions by the Trump Administration. The tweets highlight his criticism of both the Department of Justice and Elon Musk, as well as his commitment to addressing constituent concerns about rising living costs.
On February 20, 2025, Congressman Garcia tweeted that "Trump’s Department of Justice is targeting me for criticizing Elon Musk. Members of Congress have a right to speak freely and oppose the Administration – especially as they try to destroy our agencies and federal institutions. We won’t back down."
The following day, on February 21, he reiterated his stance with another tweet stating that "We have a constitutional right to criticize the administration and the actions of Elon Musk. Trump’s Department of Justice should not work to silence Members of Congress. We will not back down."
Later on February 21, Congressman Garcia shared insights from a recent town hall meeting in which "Over 8,000 people joined us on our telephone town hall last night. We overwhelmingly heard from folks who are angry and frightened about services being cut and the cost of living going up. I made a promise that I will keep fighting for them every day in Washington."
