Republicans in Congress could end the Trump shutdown today by passing a budget deal that protects your health care and takes away Trump’s blank checks.

Let your legislators hear from you.

For over 60 years, Jane Goodall was a force for research about our precious planet—and climate change action to protect it—while breaking glass ceilings along the way.

I'll so miss her courage and commitment to help expand what we know about our world and preserve it for the generations to come.

Trump wants to hold the government hostage until Democrats agree to raise health care costs for millions of Americans and give him more unchecked power.

But health care is a human right.

And in America, we have no kings.

Look at that huge jump in Trump's wealth in 2025.

Americans can't afford groceries or health care.

But the Trump presidency is working out great for Donald Trump.

Democrats will support a spending bill as long as it won't mean Americans' health care costs skyrocket while Trump keeps getting blank checks for his power grabs.

Ask your Republican legislators TODAY to stand up for you and prevent a shutdown. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Democrats want a government funding bill that won't raise your health care costs by 75%.

Trump won't even meet with them.

He’s shutting the government down and making health care even more expensive for families.

What a bad deal for America.

When personal relationships between leaders become a substitute for a coherent strategy, international relations get more volatile.

There's a better way.

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous.

It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy."

Because that's not how America works.

Congratulations to my friend Randi Weingarten on the launch of Why Fascists Fear Teachers.

From banning books to controlling curriculum, authoritarians go after public education because it's a cornerstone of democracy. Randi's book is a critical read for this moment. sites.prh.com/whyfascistsf...

As Americans and as New Yorkers, we'll never forget September 11, 2001. First responders sacrificed everything in the course of their service. Strangers saved each other's lives. The worst day brought out the best in so many.

I'm thinking of everyone mourning, and remembering, today.

The Trump administration is going great... for Trump.

Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · Sep 7

Trump gets: $5 billion in crypto deals, a $400 million plane, millions in deals from Facebook, Amazon, CBS.

Everyone else gets: higher prices for health care, electricity, and groceries.

Corruption, plain and simple.
