Congressman Greg Casar
Representing the heart of Texas from East Austin to West San Antonio #TX35. Chair of @USProgressives.bsky.social. Labor organizer. Lover of migas and long runs, just not at the same time.
- Donald Trump is going to accept a $400 million “palace in the sky” the same week House Republicans move to kick 13.7 million Americans off health care.
- "I don't think it's hyperbole to say that eviscerating NIOSH, as they have, will cause people to die.” Trump said he’d fight for workers. He lied. He's slashing safety programs. And working people — from a state he won by 40% — are paying the price.
- Republicans are calling hearings to talk about trans athletes in fencing. Their goal is clear: to make sure Fox has something to talk about other than Elon Musk’s theft and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s insider trading.
- Antisemitism is an assault on all of our values. So why would Republicans cut funding to address hate crimes or protect synagogues? Republicans are not trying to keep Jewish students safe. They're trying to keep the Israeli government safe from any form of criticism.
- “Your microphone works. Do you condemn this?” I asked my Republican colleagues — who say they care about antisemitism — if they condemn Trump pardoning neo-Nazis. Unfortunately, the party of “Jewish space lasers” doesn't give a damn about stopping antisemitism.
- An international trucking company is buying $20 million of Trump’s crypto coins so they can influence trade policy. We only know because the CEO bragged about it. Trump promised to drain the swamp. Now he’s selling tickets to it on the blockchain.
