Congressman Greg Casar, representing Texas’ 35th district since 2023, has recently voiced his concerns on social media regarding significant political and economic issues. Casar, who succeeded Lloyd Doggett in Congress, frequently uses his platform to address policies he believes are detrimental to the American public.
On May 12, 2025, Congressman Casar commented on former President Donald Trump’s acceptance of a “$400 million ‘palace in the sky'” coinciding with a move by House Republicans to “kick 13.7 million Americans off health care.” “Donald Trump is going to accept a $400 million “palace in the sky” the same week House Republicans move to kick 13.7 million Americans off health care.”
Later that day, Casar criticized Republican proposals for what he described as “the biggest health care cut in history,” arguing that such measures are designed to allow billionaires to pay less in taxes. He expressed his opposition succinctly: “Republicans are proposing the biggest health care cut in history so billionaires can pay less in taxes. Hell no.”
In another tweet from May 12, Casar highlighted disparities in government spending by pointing out that Elon Musk continues to receive substantial government contracts while essential services like the Social Security Administration lack funding for basic supplies. He labeled this situation as corruption: “Elon Musk is still getting more than $8 million a day in government contracts, but the Social Security Administration doesn’t get money for paper and printer ink. Corruption. Plain and simple.”
Greg Casar was born in Houston, Texas, and currently resides in Austin. He graduated from the University of Virginia with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2011.
