Families in TX-29 will be forced to pay $1,980 more this year because of Trump’s tariffs and the Big Ugly Law. I’m fighting back.

The Supreme Court sided with Texas in allowing an unconstitutional and racially gerrymandered map to stand. While I am deeply disappointed by this decision, I have fought for my constituents’ representation every step of the way, and I will not stop now. (1/2)

Republicans just canceled votes again and refused to even consider the Democrats’ bill to pay our troops. While Republicans extend their vacation, our service members are working through the shutdown without a paycheck.

111,000 people in TX-29 will see their health care costs skyrocket if Republicans don’t act to save ACA tax credits. Today, I met with El Centro de Corazón to discuss how the Republicans Big, Ugly Bill and rising costs are threatening access to care for families across our community.

Republicans and the Felon in the White House have shut down the government, putting vital services and millions of families at risk. While they play games with people’s lives, my office remains open and ready to fight for the people of TX-29.

Trump is trying to rig the 2026 election—because he knows his ideas are losing. He’s targeting Texas because it’s a red state with leaders who’ll do his bidding. He called the Governor and said: I need five seats. This isn’t democracy. It’s a power grab by the Felon in the White House.

Just two weeks ago, Republicans and Trump blew a $4 trillion hole in the deficit while throwing millions off their health care. Now they're cutting $9 billion from Sesame Street, public radio, and foreign food assistance for people living in poverty abroad.

Rep. Sylvia Garcia @sylviagarcia.house.gov · 18/07/2025
Republicans could learn something from the Count on Sesame Street. $9 billion in funding cuts mean nothing when you just voted two weeks ago to drive up the deficit by $4 trillion—all to give billionaires a tax break they don't need. The numbers just don't add up. This is fiscal irresponsibility.

While kids were asleep, House Republicans gutted PBS and global food aid for the first time in decades—just to please the Felon in the White House. I stand with the children, not Trump. I voted NO.

At a time when lawmakers face rising threats of violence, Randy Fine’s racist, Islamophobic smear is vile and dangerous. Hate like this has no place in Congress, or anywhere. An attack on one is an attack on all. I stand with my colleague @repilhan.bsky.social

@housedemocrats.bsky.social are united against Trump’s #BigUglyBill, which will gut Medicaid and SNAP for millions of Americans. Shame on Congressional Republicans for ramming this abomination of a bill through the House at the expense of working families, seniors, veterans, and children.

In Texas, 1 in 5 kids go hungry. Yet Senate Republicans have abandoned all decency & voted for the largest cut to SNAP food assistance in U.S. history. They are literally taking food from the mouths of children, seniors & veterans to give tax breaks to billionaires. We have to stop this cruelty

Rep. Sylvia Garcia @sylviagarcia.house.gov · 01/07/2025
Trump’s Big Ugly Bill sells out working families. Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass this bill, which slashes Medicaid and the ACA, ripping health care from 17 million people. In Texas alone, more than 1.6 million would lose health care coverage and nursing homes will be forced to shut down

I stand with Dreamers and all immigrants on this #DACA anniversary and every day. Dreamers grow our economy and contribute to our communities. DACA must be protected until Congress passes the bipartisan American Dream and Promise Act and delivers real security. #HomeIsHere

DACA has broad support across the country because people know it works. Dreamers are our coworkers, neighbors, and loved ones. It’s time to give them the permanent protections they deserve by passing the bipartisan American Dream and Promise Act. #HomeIsHere

Republicans are holding hearings at 1 a.m. because they don’t want you to see them vote to kick nearly 14 million people off their health insurance—all so billionaires can afford another yacht.

Thank you to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for joining me at our town hall to hear directly from seniors about the fight to protect their benefits. The fear is real — people rely on Social Security, Medicare, and SNAP for food, medicine, and basic needs. We won’t let Trump take that away.

I stand on the shoulders of giants–and Dolores Huerta is one of them. On her 95th birthday, I’m proud to reintroduce my resolution to make April 10th national Dolores Huerta Day. Her fight for justice, dignity, and workers’ rights shaped my path and our country.

Trump and Republicans are slashing phone services at Social Security, forcing seniors online and leaving them stranded without help. This isn’t modernization, it’s neglect. Cruelty by design.

All lawyers swear an oath to uphold the rule of law and Constitution. They should be willing to stand in the breach to protect our democracy. It’s deeply disturbing if a major law firm capitulated to the Trump administration’s all out assault on our democracy and legal system.
