BREAKING: HELL YES! Rep. Robert Garcia pounds the war drums to go "all f*cking in" on investigating Trump and holding these MAGA criminals accountable.
You can't make bipartisan peace with fascists...
"Todd Blanche is threatening now, the Attorney General of the United States of America, is threatening to investigate Democrats who promise to hold the administration accountable. Do you see this as a threat? And how do you intend to deal with this?" progressive commentator Jennifer Welch asked Garcia during his appearance on her podcast.
"Well, it is a threat. There's no question. I'm not new to this," replied the congressman. "Year and a half ago, Donald Trump and his DOJ sent me a letter that they were opening an investigation on me because I was critical of Elon Musk, if you can believe that. And so I, you know, put that word in the garbage where it needed to go."
"But at the end of the day, this is a moment for Democrats, we have to have the courage to stand up to this authoritarian government, we have to have the courage to take on Donald Trump and know that he is going to use every tool at his disposal," he continued.
"In this case, the DOJ, the Department of Justice, the FBI, God knows what else his billionaire friends and buddies and donors to go after us to intimidate us," Garcia went on. "But we're not going to be and I'm certainly not going to be intimidated. We're not going to be intimidated."
Blanche absurdly stated on Sunday that if Democratic lawmakers use their legally enshrined powers to investigate this administration, they could be violating the law. That's how corrupt and perverse our Justice Department has become under Trump. The Attorney General is now stating that investigating crimes is a crime. It's a desperate bid at intimidation from an administration that knows its days are numbered now that Democrats have subpoena power.
"And yes, they're going to throw everything they have at us," said Garcia, who will be heading the House Oversight Committee. "They're going to try to destroy our character, they're going to try to demean us and try to, quite frankly, send out their their MAGA universe to come after us. But we are going to stand strong because we have the people behind us. And more importantly, this is a moment in this country, where if you're not willing to put yourself in the way of danger, if you're not willing to kind of put yourself and know that there is real risks, this isn't the right job."
"This is not like being in Congress at any other moment in history," he said. "And I think I tell my colleagues this all the time. We are we are withstanding right now in between a complete takeover by authoritarian dictators and oligarchs that are trying to raid the Treasury raid the American taxpayer destroy the world order. "
"And we just so happen to be the ones in Congress at this moment, as if we're not all fucking in. Yeah, then then then what the hell are we doing?" Garcia asked.
We couldn't agree more with Congressman Garcia. Americans showed up in historic numbers at the polls last Tuesday to vote blue because we're tired of being ruled over by a blatantly criminal President and his henchmen. Democrats in Congress can't just make nice with these monsters. They have to deliver on their promises and pull back the curtain on all of the corruption.
This is, without caveat, the most lawless White House in American history. It's time to bring it crashing down.
Please ❤️ and share to urge Democrats to stand with Garcia!

Maybe I wasn’t clear enough yesterday? I know it was a procedural vote and I DO NOT FUCKING CARE! If there is a vote you get your ass over to the capitol and VOTE!
Not “but it doesn’t matter.”
Not “we were going to lose anyway.”
You vote bc we pay you to be there! We show up at our jobs sick and tired and SO DO YOU!

The fact that this country just handed Republicans the ass kicking of the century, and their answer was to hand even MORE power to psychos like Stephen Miller and Jim Jordan tells you everything you need to know about them.

Dear @SecWar Pete Hegseth,
You are just a POS with no respect for fallen American soldiers.
You can't spin or explain this.
Your wife can't get you out of it.
Your own mother told us who you were.
Your mother was right.

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive.
A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging, insurrectionist, running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban in Afghanistan thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU.
Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth."

If you’ve ever been to the spot at Arlington where Hegseth got reprimanded, you know it’s one of the most solemn, heaviest, emotional places in America. Most would never dream of being loud or laughing while we are there. But Hegseth, on Vet’s Day of all days, is a classless ass.
