Congressman Greg Casar

There's breaking news about AI and your job that you need to know about.

I brought @ocasio-cortez.house.gov tortillas from H-E-B. They make people feel better after a tough night, and that's what the Spurs are going to give Knicks fans tonight. Go Spurs go!

Congress could give Trump's personal henchman power to spy on you without a warrant. We have to stop it.

I went on Wall Street’s top TV show to say: 1. We need to tax AI to fund jobs. 2. The San Antonio Spurs are going to be the NBA's next champions.

With AI, we're in the middle of the greatest technological transformation of our lifetimes. My new plan: a tax on AI companies that funds new jobs — so the unemployment rate does not rise. Progress should benefit everyone, not just a few billionaires.

The government is doing nothing to stop AI from taking your job. Nothing to stop AI from exploiting your kid. Nothing to stop AI from giving advice to terrorists. Because AI companies are spending hundreds-of-millions through Super PACs. That has to change.

Have you ever thought about how much money a billion dollars is? One thousand seconds is 15 minutes. One million seconds is two weeks. One billion seconds is 31 years. But one billion dollars in taxpayer $? That’s how much Republicans want to give Trump for a ballroom.

I have some good news: Luis Fernando Cabrera will soon be back home in Austin. Trump wants you to feel powerless. But speaking out for the rights of our neighbors matters, and this is proof. Now let's get Luis home.

Let's talk about Trump’s ballroom. Money that could have hired 15,000 new teachers, just to build a monument to Trump’s ego and greed.

Today, the House will vote on a War Powers Resolution to stop Trump's war with Iran. Last week, we were just one vote short of passing a similar resolution. We have to keep pushing and speaking out.

Trump just got $1.7 billion of your tax dollars for January 6th rioters and MAGA insiders. Here's how👇🏽

Democrats can’t just be an anti-Trump Party. We need our own pro-worker ideas. We’ve got 10 in the Progressive New Affordability Agenda →

In the last 17 years, the price of everything has gone up. I’ve gone from too young to rent a car to member of Congress. But the federal minimum wage hasn’t gone up a cent. That’s a scandal.

I’ve had it with big corporations ripping off working people.

@reprileyny.bsky.social and I just introduced a new bill that would save the average family $500 a year on utility bills. For-profit utilities are charging you more so they can fly around on private jets and make absurd profits. We're saying: no more.

Democrats, Independents, and Republicans are all getting screwed by Trump's failed economic policies. I joined Fox's LiveNow to talk about the Progressive Caucus' New Affordability Agenda to save every family money by taking on big corporations ripping people off.

I just voted again to stop Trump's war with Iran.

Donald Trump says $200 billion is “a small price to pay” for his war with Iran. That's pretty easy for him to say. Because he never pays the price. It's not his healthcare getting cut. It's not his kids going hungry. It's not his budget getting stretched thin.

@sanders.senate.gov and I just released the Home Team Act. Team owners should have to offer locals a chance to buy their city’s team before moving elsewhere.

After cutting and cutting and cutting programs for working families, Trump wants $200 billion for his war with Iran. Today the Progressive Caucus is taking an official position against supplemental funding for the Iran war.

Trump says it’s “a small price to pay” when gas prices go up because of his war with Iran. That’s easy for him to say, because he’s never the one paying the price. It’s not his kids being sent to risk their lives. It’s not his budget stretched thin or his health care cut.

No one would sit down at a craps table where one player gets to pick how the dice land. But today that’s how many prediction markets work. @ChrisMurphyCT.bsky.social and I have a bill to fix it.

Senator Cornyn came to the airport to give TSA workers burgers just a week after blocking their paychecks. That's not right.

Senator Cornyn was hosting a press event at the airport. When I asked, he said it’s “not acceptable” to fund TSA. Don’t take my word for it — take his.

Not enough people are talking about how Kristi Noem and Trump have undermined FEMA. @neguse.house.gov and I have a bill to fix it.

Trump says we can’t afford health care for Americans but wants a blank check for his war of choice.

Today I get to share some good news. Carmen Mejia was recently exonerated after spending 20 years in prison for a crime she did not commit. Because of her conviction, she might have been deported. But thanks to people speaking up, Carmen is now free. Keep speaking up.

Carmen Mejia was exonerated after spending 20 years in prison for a crime she did not commit. Now, ICE may pick her up because she lost her immigration status due to that wrongful conviction. Carmen should not spend one more day wrongfully detained.

We’re at the People’s State of the Union to tell the truth about what Trump is doing to working people.

VFW Post 76 is the oldest in Texas. Sadly, it was starting to show. That's why we just delivered $2 MILLION in federal funding to fully renovate their historic Petty House. We're making sure that Post 76 can serve San Antonio's veterans and families for another 130 years.

Organizing works. People showed up, made calls, drew attention to injustice , and now a judge ordered the Trump Administration to bring Any Lopez Belloza home. Now, we make sure she gets back to Texas safely. Keep organizing. Keep pushing.

Save FEMA. Fire Kristi Noem.

In the name of safety, trucking companies are monitoring employees using AI. I'm concerned this technology could be used to monitor everything from individuals' health to union organizing. So I pressed the top executive of one of the companies pioneering this technology ⬇️

If Kristi Noem’s disaster preparedness plan has to be paused when there’s a disaster, it’s not a plan. It’s a disaster. Fire Kristi Noem. Save FEMA.

We just learned Kristi Noem’s “fiscal responsibility policies” are holding up $17 billion in approved disaster funds. She’s preventing roads from being repaired and bridges from being fixed. All while spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on ad campaigns to promote herself.

Today, I stood outside ICE Headquarters with other House Democrats to demand an end to Kristi Noem's reign of terror at ICE and an end to Donald Trump's mass deportation policies.

Senate Democrats must demand reforms like federal agents taking the masks off and getting warrants. Those are common sense reforms all Americans should be able to get behind.

Let's be specific about what's happening. Republicans are threatening to shut down the government to protect ICE's ability to deport citizens and arrest people without warrants. Every American should know that's what's happening.

Kristi Noem deserves to be impeached for the things you know about: mass deportation policies that have gotten Americans killed. But folks aren't talking enough about what she's not doing: keeping us safe. She's gutting disaster relief agencies and putting us all at risk.

You speaking up matters. Senate Democrats now say they will vote against ICE funding without reforms. That's good. Now, here are five concrete non-negotiable we must demand -->

I just voted to stop Trump from dragging us into a full blown war with Venezuela.

I just voted against sending more money to Trump's out of control mass deportation machine.

Targeting Renee Good's widow with an investigation so obscene 6 prosecutors resigned. Breaking into the back yard of a college student who spoke out against her illegal deportation. The Trump administration tries to silence anyone who speaks out. We won't have it.

The Trump Administration deported Any Lopez in violation of a court order. Any is a student at Babson College who was just trying to visit her family for Thanksgiving. The administration should allow her to return immediately.

Today in America we face our biggest free speech crisis in modern history. I'm proud to join @chrismurphyct.bsky.social and @crow.house.gov introducing the No Political Enemies Act to protect Americans' First Amendment rights.

Kristi Noem started the new year by firing even more FEMA employees. Noem is dismantling our country’s ability to respond to disasters. Texans have already been hurt, and her recklessness will cost more lives. I joined Representative Neguse demanding she reverse these cuts.

Here are two numbers you need to know today. Trump is now talking about spending $500 billion for Greenland. While 17 million Americans are about to lose health care because Republicans cut funding. Crazy.

We need a peace movement in America. We need safety and prosperity for people -- not wars to enrich Donald Trump's donors.

Yesterday, Trump announced he wants to channel Venezuela's oil money into a slush fund for himself. Hell no.

Millions of kids are going to lose health care so that billionaires like Trump’s Secretary of Education will get a tax cut. So I asked her to explain how that is ok.

A Tesla worker in my district was electrocuted because the company cut corners. OSHA’s fine was just $50,000. Elon Musk makes that back in nine minutes from federal contracts alone. A worker’s life is worth more than a rounding error to a billionaire.

If Trump is allowed to take bargaining rights away from federal workers, he will come for yours next. I’m fighting back.

No war with Venezuela.

What Donald Trump has tried to do to the Social Security administration is a scandal.

Because Republicans are doubling health insurance prices, people in my district will have to choose between groceries and insurance.

For far too many Americans, the cost of rent makes it impossible to get ahead, and the idea of owning a home is out of reach. We’ve made it too hard to build housing in America. We’ve invested too little in housing. And we've let hedge funds & big corporations buy up too much and jack up rents.

My constituent Any Lopez Belloza was wrongfully deported in shackles to Honduras without proper due process. Now, the Trump Administration is sending ICE agents to threaten her family for speaking out.

Trump made $5 billion on corrupt crypto schemes while kicking 17 million Americans off their health care. Corruption.

Our party can either stand with working people or stand with the billionaires. I’m fighting for a Democratic Party that puts the many before the wealthy few.

It’s been 15 years since Congress raised the minimum wage. In that time, costs for rent, groceries, and utilities have soared. Americans deserve a raise.

Donald Trump is playing politics with Texas' National Guardsmen and women — and they won't even get paid because of Trump's shutdown. I joined Texas veterans in front of the Texas National Guard headquarters to say: enough.

Here’s what the Democratic Party is fighting for in this shutdown: a country where you can afford to live, afford health care, and don't get your money taken away by a billionaire.

From Epstein to health care cuts, it's all one story. Republicans are running a billionaire protection racket.

Why were there no cameras when Donald Trump met with Democratic leaders about the shutdown? Because Trump doesn't want people to know about the fight over health care.

House Republicans have taken a page out of Cancun Ted Cruz's playbook. They're not showing up for work because they don't want to answer questions about taking away your health care.

Let’s talk about the people in Mike Johnson's district who'll have to pay $16,000 more a year for health care if he gets his way. Just so the richest people on earth can get tax breaks.

I’m fighting to reopen the government and save health care.

Why are Ted Cruz and John Cornyn fighting to raise Texans’ health care costs?

I spoke with leaders from across Latin America about how we can restore democracy across the hemisphere by fighting for working people.

Wannabe-dictators who want to rip off working people aren’t just a problem in the United States.  This week, I met with heads of state from across Latin America visiting the United Nations to talk about standing up for democracy and working people across the region.

Trump is going to keep saying unhinged things. But here's what he and Democrats are really fighting about: whether millions of people are going to lose their health care and millions more are going to have their premiums double. Every American should know this.

Trump’s border czar was caught on tape taking a $50,000 bribe. Then Trump’s DOJ covered it up. Homan must resign. Congress must investigate who was involved in this massive scandal. Anyone who committed crimes should be prosecuted.

From Bezos to Iger, the ultra-wealthy men who run America's biggest media companies are auctioning off our 1st Amendment to a wannabe tyrant.

Kimmel isn't being punished for what he said last week. He's being punished for speaking out for years about Trump, including Trump trying to kick millions of Americans off their health care. This is what's at stake: the ability of Americans to speak out against the billionaire takeover.

To address a problem we have to tell the truth about it. Donald Trump has done more to mainstream political violence than any other politician in modern American history.
