Congressman Greg Casar, representing Texas’ 35th district, expressed critical views via social media on key political and economic issues. As a public servant known for his straightforward communication, Casar has actively voiced concerns regarding the actions of corporations, wealthy individuals, and current government strategies. On April 29, 2025, he shared his perspective in a series of tweets concerning the functioning of the political landscape and its impact on working Americans.
On April 29, 2025, Casar highlighted the financial winds surrounding former President Trump’s inauguration, stating, “Corporations and the ultra-wealthy donated a record-breaking $239 million for Trump’s inauguration. Trump gets a big party. Donors get nominated for Cabinet jobs. Corporations get billions in taxpayer-funded government contracts. Working people get”. This comment suggests a critical examination of political contributions and the influence of wealth in political appointments and government contracting.
Hours later, Casar critiqued political strategies advised post-2024 elections. He stated, “After 2024, the ‘experts’ and consultants told Democrats to roll over and play dead. But you can’t have your voice heard through the walls of a coffin. Here’s the better strategy: pick a big fight against the corrupt billionaires stealing from workers and taxpayers.” This tweet underscores his advocacy for active opposition against economic inequality and corruption.
In a subsequent post, Casar asserted that during former President Trump’s term, economic exploitation had become more visible. On the same day, he tweeted, “The most important story of Trump’s 100 days is crystal clear: Trump, Musk, and the billionaire class are using our government to rip off working people. Every single day. For 100 days.” This statement pointed to alleged misuse of governmental power for personal gain at the expense of the regular citizenry by notable individuals such as Trump and Elon Musk.
Casar, born in 1989 in Houston, Texas, currently lives in Austin. He holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Virginia and began serving in Congress in 2023 after replacing Lloyd Doggett.
