Congressman Greg Casar, representing Texas' 35th district, has taken to Twitter to express his perspectives on various political issues. He has served in U.S. Congress since replacing Lloyd Doggett in 2023 and is known for his engagement on social media regarding national policies and local initiatives.

On April 2, 2025, Casar discussed the application of tariffs in international trade. He suggested that while "targeted tariffs can be an important tool to protect American workers," he criticized former President Donald Trump's approach to tariffs by comparing it to the misuse of a chainsaw in brain surgery.

On April 3, 2025, Casar announced internship opportunities with his San Antonio and Austin teams, urging interested candidates to apply for the summer positions. He shared that full descriptions and applications are available, encouraging, "APPLY NOW: We're looking for paid interns to join our San Antonio and Austin teams this summer!"

Later the same day, Casar commented on the impact of Elon Musk's business practices on Social Security workers. He expressed concerns over Musk's actions, saying that while "Elon Musk makes $8 million a day off government contracts, he's firing Social Security workers," which affects elderly citizens requiring Social Security services when declared deceased by mistake.
