San Antonio knows that Ted Cruz has shut down the government so he can cut health care on behalf of the billionaires.

So we showed up to his office. Nobody there. But we aren’t giving up until we get our healthcare and our democracy back.

"There are too many people that have said that the way we win is we throw immigrants under the bus or throw trans folks under the bus or adjust our position somewhat to the right on those issues and hope people believe us. That's not right and it won't work," says @gregcasar.bsky.social.

Trump and Abbott just rammed through maps designed to kick people like me out of office.

They don't want me in Congress because they don't want us to be heard.

But we're not going anywhere.

Today I'm launching my campaign for reelection in the city I love. #TX37

Imagine in another country a corrupt president was trying to change the election laws.

Then that president's political ally threatened to remove all the legislators of the other party to get it done.

That's what's happening in Texas right now.

Texas Republicans have outsourced our democracy to Mar-a-Lago and the Oval Office.

It's a betrayal.

I've got news for Donald Trump and Ken Paxton.

Our districts are not owned by politicians.

They're owned by the people.

Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history. Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in Texas history. Now the two of them are teaming up with a corrupt, illegal gerrymandering scheme.

Amazon workers across the country deserve better wages, good benefits, a safe workplace — and a fair contract.

NBC news screenshot of interview with Texas representative Greg Casar
"The progressive movement needs to change. We need to re-emphasize core economic issues every time some of these cultural war issues are brought up," Casar said. "So when we hear Republicans attacking queer Americans again, I think the progressive response needs to be that a trans person didn't deny your health insurance claim, a big corporation did - with Republican help. We need to connect the dots for people that the Republican Party obsession with these culture war issues is driven by Republicans' desire to distract voters and have them look away while Republicans pick their pocket."
