Water pumps aren't flashy. But every Texan needs safe and clean water. In 2024, I secured $850,000 in federal funding to expand Manor's pump station and improve city services. Working people deserve a government that works for them. This is what it looks like.

Remember when Trump kicked millions off health care because he said we didn't have enough money? Now he wants to spend 6x as much money on his reckless war of choice with Iran. Unacceptable.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost

Exclusive: The Pentagon asked the White House to approve a more than $200 billion request to Congress to fund the war in Iran, according to an administration official, a new ask that will likely run into resistance from lawmakers opposed to the conflict. wapo.st/4bt8UQk

Because of Donald Trump’s embargo, Cuban civilians today struggle to get food and medicine. “It’s not uncommon to see people searching through the trash.” Horrific. The Cuban people deserve freedom and prosperity, not this terrible collective punishment. nbcnews.com/world/cuba/cub…

The bombing of a girls' elementary school with an American missile should haunt each of us. 168 people died, mostly female students, many as young as seven years old.

Proud to join @RepCasar and @ChrisMurphyCT in introducing this bill to protect Arizonans from rigged prediction markets. Betting on government actions creates massive national security risks and breeds corruption. We can't let this continue.
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS

Senator Chris Murphy and Rep. Greg Casar have introduced a bill that would prohibit prediction markets from offering wagers on “government actions, terrorism, war, assassination, and events where an individual knows or controls the outcome."

The day before the Iran War, a flurry of big prediction market bets were placed - likely from Trump staff - that the war would start the next day. That's outrageous, and today @RepCasar and I introduced legislation to ban these corrupt prediction markets.

Our new poll shows that voters don't think prediction markets should be allowed to offer wagers on government actions — including military strikes.

A single secret account made $500,000 off of betting precisely right when Trump would go to war with Iran. We have a corruption crisis in America, and new prediction markets are making it worse. Today, @ChrisMurphyCT and I introduced a bill to crack down on this corruption.

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

Casar: "Trump said oil prices going up would be a 'small price to pay.' Well, everything for Trump is a small price to pay because he never pays it. It's not his budget getting stretched thin. It's not his kids getting shipped off to war. They're too busy cashing in on business deals with Middle Eastern despots."

Casar: “There’s a bill to fund the TSA. Can we do that together?” Cornyn: “Not acceptable.”

I'm horrified by reports of an attack on Temple Israel in Michigan. Antisemitism is a scourge, and attacks on a house of worship have no place in our country.

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