U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor

I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights. What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.

I’m co-sponsoring a funding proposal that would fund TSA and the Coast Guard to get workers’ hard-earned paychecks to them ASAP. 

Republicans need to stop holding these employees hostage.

GAMEDAY! Go Bulls 💚🤘🏼

My neighbors are paying too much on their utility bills. We need policy that helps them. That's why I'm proud to join 122 Democrats in introducing the Energy Bills Relief Act — a plan to lower costs, increase reliability, and protect working families while deploying more clean energy. 🔌⚡️

Happy Transit Employee Appreciation Day! Quality, accessible transit brings our communities closer, and we are grateful for the people who keep transportation moving every day. Thank you to the employees at HART and PSTA who keep my neighbors safe and connected. I will continue fighting for💪🏼 Tampa Bay transit 🚍

The Cuban people have endured decades of hardship under communist rule, and their courage in the face of repression continues to inspire. They deserve the basic freedoms, human rights protections, and economic opportunities that people across our hemisphere enjoy.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀 I’d be feeling much luckier today if Trump and House Republicans would work with House Democrats to make life more affordable for my neighbors.

House Democrats will force a vote to fund TSA, FEMA, CISA and the Coast Guard ASAP to end House Republican stalemate on worker paychecks! Republicans in Congress and Trump (who runs DHS) are distracted and absent from negotiations. Americans deserve better than travel delays, delayed paychecks, and out-of-control ICE.

Last week, I attended events, met with constituents, hosted a one-on-one Q&A session and enjoyed the Tampa Bay sunshine. ☀️ District Work Periods remind me why it’s important to keep fighting for my neighbors in the Congress — they deserve access to housing, affordable health care and communities that uplift and keep them safe.

To tackle the housing crunch, this $3.15M community grant will help deliver 71 affordable apartments for older residents earning at or below 80% of the area median income + an Evara Health clinic w @StPeteHA @StPeteFL👇

@ChiefNGB @OHNationalGuard @121ARW @MacDill_AFB Sending all of our love and respect from the Tampa Bay area. We value these heroes and their families for their abiding service and sacrifice 🇺🇸

Shannon and I join our entire National Guard family in mourning the loss of six brave KC-135 Airmen, including three Ohio Air National Guardsmen assigned to the 121st Air Refueling Wing and three active-duty Airmen from the 99th Air Refueling Squadron, a partner unit with the Alabama National Guard’s 117th Air Refueling Wing.  Heroes, all. Our air refueling warriors enable every aerial combat mission to succeed by skillfully transferring tens of thousands of pounds of fuel at cruising altitudes and high speeds, extending global reach and delivering decisive air dominance for our Joint Force. Combat aviators in every service understand the critical role of our air refueling crews and boom operators. Immense respect for these valiant Airmen. Our thoughts, prayers and heartfelt condolences to their Families, Wingmen and the entire tanker community.

MacDill AFB in Tampa is home to many KC-135s and the brave service members who fly them. I’m praying for the six service members who lost their lives in the crash over Iraq while carrying out a difficult and dangerous mission in service to our nation. Our hearts are with their families and loved ones.
