Jesús "Chuy" García, a U.S. Congressman representing Illinois' 4th district, has been vocal on social media about his recent legislative actions and opinions. Known for his tenure in Congress since 2019, García's recent tweets reflect his stance on various political issues.

On March 11, 2025, García expressed his opposition to a Republican bill. He stated, "I’ve been opposing a lot of terrible Republican bills lately, and today, I voted NO on a particularly evil proposal."

The following day, March 12, 2025, he tweeted about the unity among House Democrats regarding government funding. He mentioned their collective support for an extension to prevent cuts and keep the government operational. García affirmed his readiness to vote for this extension at any time during the week: "House Democrats stand united for a four-week funding extension that stops harmful cuts, keeps government open, and allows Congress to reach a bipartisan funding agreement. I am ready to vote today, tomorrow or Friday to pass a four-week extension."

On March 13, 2025, García commented on a legal ruling related to DOGE's firing of civil workers. He highlighted the judicial confirmation of the illegality of these actions: "From the start, we knew DOGE’s firing of civil workers was not only wrong, it was illegal. And now a judge has confirmed it."
