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
In supporting Prop 50, which made his district more competitive, my friend Robert Garcia prioritized the future of the country over his personal political interests.
That kind of bold leadership is rare.
He had out back. Now we’re going to have his.
California stepped up to stop Trump from rigging the next election. Our district is more competitive now, but we’re ready to fight for working people - not billionaires.
Today, we are launching our campaign in our new district. Join us: robertgarcia.com

Robert Garcia took on a bunch of Republican voters to make the new California map a possibility. Completely selfless and pro-democracy. Other Dems should take note and everyone should support his re-election.

If Trump and Republicans get their way, someone you know could have to put food back at the grocery store to afford their medication -- all so Jeff Bezos can afford another trip to space.

🚨HELL YEAH: Rep. Greg Casar - whose district was stolen by Greg Abbott - says Democrats needs to stop playing by the damn rules while Republicans RIG every map from TX to CA.
Democracy isn’t won by playing nice it’s won by FIGHTING BACK. It starts in CA. #VoteYesOnProp50
Mike Johnson and Greg Abbott are trying to paint regular moms and dads trying to save healthcare as "terrorists."
It's dangerous and anti-democratic.
It's also kinda pathetic. Get a grip.
We don't have kings in America.
We don't have white knights coming to save us either.
We get things done when we do them together.
If you're at a #NoKings rally today, you are one of the leaders saving this country right now.
Normally, you don't see members of Congress protesting outside a senator's office.
But it's not normal that Republicans are kicking 15 million people off their health care and doubling costs for 20 million more.

🚨HOLY SHIT: Rep. Greg Casar tried to personally deliver letters from Texans begging Sen. John Cornyn to stop the health care crisis - and he was blocked by FOUR security guards before he could reach the desk.
Are Republicans COWARDS - or do they not care about their voters?
John, can you explain how you're "working for Texans" when you're trying to 2x the premiums of more than 3 million Texans? #TrumpShutUSDown
More #SchumerShutdown Dem hypocrisy with @RepCasar protesting my Austin office today.
REMINDER Rep. Casar: YOU voted to shutdown the government by voting NO on the clean funding bill.
Your time would be better spent urging Chuck Schumer to end the #SchumerShutdown than engaging in political stunts.
Meanwhile, I’m working for Texans.
Here's your daily reminder that the government is shut down because Trump is hellbent on kicking 15 million Americans off their health care and doubling premiums for 20 million more.

Mike Johnson hasn’t picked a fight with Democrats — he’s picked a fight with reality. Here’s reality breaking through.
I was not in Congress when all this Obamacare, “Affordable Care Act” bullshit started. I got here in 2021. As a matter of fact, the ACA made health insurance UNAFFORDABLE for my family after it was passed, with skyrocketing premiums higher than our house payment.
Let’s just say as nicely as possible, I’m not a fan.
But I’m going to go against everyone on this issue because when the tax credits expire this year my own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE, along with all the wonderful families and hard-working people in my district.
No I’m not towing the party line on this, or playing loyalty games. I’m a Republican and won’t vote for illegals to have any tax payer funded healthcare or benefits.
I’m AMERICA ONLY!!!
I’m carving my own lane.
And I’m absolutely disgusted that health insurance premiums will DOUBLE if the tax credits expire this year.
Also, I think health insurance and all insurance is a scam, just be clear!
Not a single Republican in leadership talked to us about this or has given us a plan to help Americans deal with their health insurance premiums DOUBLING!!!
Our country sent $30 billion to Israel in 2024 alone killing countless innocent children and sent HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS to Ukraine in the past few years. By the way, I voted NO to all of that murder! America has funded the Ukrainian government, Ukrainian, pensions, and Ukrainian businesses during this entire stupid war that America should have nothing to do with.
All our country does is fund foreign countries and foreign wars, and never does anything to help the American people!!!
It is absolutely shameful, disgusting, and traitorous, that our laws and policies screw the American people so much that the government is shut down right now fighting over basic issues like this.
Again, NO FUNDING FOR ILLEGALS AND ANY BENEFITS FOR THEM, BUT WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE ABSOLUTELY INSANE COST OF INSURANCE FOR AMERICANS.
You don’t HATE your government enough.
I’m here in Washington DC this week to meet with anyone who is AMERICA ONLY and will work with me on a plan for AMERICANS ONLY!!!
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.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Rep. Greg Casar just showed up to Ted Cruz’s office in Texas - and read a constituent’s letter straight into his ring camera. Of course Cancun Cruz wasn’t there.
So Casar delivered what Cruz never will - accountability right in his home town. ABSOLUTE HERO.
Moms aren't going to get money for food.
People are going to lose their healthcare.
And Trump still gets his fucking ballroom.
Are you kidding me?
Construction of the White House ballroom will continue through the government shutdown, according to a White House official. abcnews.link/jMXrbGL

Rep. @GregCasar: There's more mentions of Trump in the Epstein files than there are Republicans in DC today.
