Rep. Garcia: Democrats Prepared to Not Give GOP ‘Any Votes for Absolutely Anything’

Pam Key 11 Feb 2025

Representative Robert Garcia (D-CA) said Monday on “The ReidOut” that Democrats are prepared to not vote for anything until Republicans let them subpoena either Elon Musk or members of his DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) team.

Partial transcript as follows:

    JOY REID: Let me ask you this because Democrats are in the minority, so you have only so much leverage. Have you all essentially made it clear to Mike Johnson that until they allow you all to subpoena Big Balls and the normalize Indian hate guy, at least subpoena them or subpoena Elon Musk, no votes on the budget, no votes, no Democratic votes at all to keep the government open. That is leverage Democrats have theoretically right. Are you all prepared to use it?

    GARCIA: Look, I think I think we’re very prepared to use all of our leverage. And I think that Leader Jeffries is in those conversations right now. I’m personally not interested in giving Republicans any votes for absolutely anything until we get actual answers and protect the American people’s public data and data that people are trusting us to have. And so I think we’ve got to continue to do those efforts and continue to shut down their meetings. I mean, just a few days ago, we were at the Department of Labor, the DOJ’s team was actually on its way to that meeting, but there were so many people there surrounding the building that they canceled their meetings. We’ve got to continue to show up to call it out to protest and commit not to work with Elon Musk, the Doge committee or any of these Republicans.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

We need to name a building or highway to Harry Reid, he who took it upon himself to remove the filibuster of confirming nominees.

We are grateful

Any ideas on buildings names?

Am thinking AC DC already wrote a song naming a highway for Reid, didn't they?

Harry Reid was a visionary.  Till the "rubber band" hit him in the eye

How is he harming the AMERICAN public when the agencies he is targeting are siphoning off billions of our tax dollars for spending on people who ARE NOT AMERICANS?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
