Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I saw Wilber in ICE detention yesterday, in a wheelchair with a bullet still in his body. Here’s what’s next: He needs surgery. And ICE needs to cooperate with the independent investigation. 725494
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 24/09/2026DHS keeps tweeting at me instead of answering a simple question: How does shooting a DoorDash driver in the back in Austin make anyone safer? 419656
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I'm heading to the Pearsall ICE detention facility to check on Wilber Garces Perez, a man who was shot in the back by an ICE agent in Austin on Sunday. He needs a doctor, not deportation. I'll report back on what I find. 1129680
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Wilber Garces Perez was shot in the back by an ICE agent in Austin. Now he's in detention with the bullet still in his body. Today, 100+ Members of Congress are demanding that ICE get him medical care, stop trying to deport a key witness, and immediately release the video footage. 216758
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 21/09/2026ICE wants to deport Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, a DoorDash driver who they just shot in Austin yesterday. The federal government can't shoot someone and then try to make them disappear to escape scrutiny. Wilber Rafael Garces Perez needs a doctor right now, not a deportation. 331219380
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 21/09/2026My message to folks speaking out about ICE’s shooting of a man in Austin today: 917356
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I’m demanding answers from DHS and ICE about today's shooting in Austin. They must preserve every piece of evidence, release the body cam footage, suspend the agent, and brief Congress. ICE has lied before. We deserve the truth. 1128375
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 21/09/2026ICE shot a man in Austin today. I’m demanding transparency, accountability, and safety. Release the footage and records. Hold any officer who broke the law responsible. And get ICE out of our city. 923070
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 18/09/2026If Boeing said 'this plane might kill people, but trust us,' the FAA would ground it on the spot. AI is no different. We the people decide what's safe. Not a couple of CEOs. 1013242
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 17/09/2026My legislation with Senator Bernie Sanders would make sure frontier AI does not go rogue, escape human control, or cause mass destruction. This is a national security issue. The federal government must enforce rules on AI to keep us safe. 47218
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Whistleblowers should speak out about the threats of AI. Experts are afraid of sounding crazy, so they’ve softened their language. They shouldn’t hold back on describing how dangerous this technology is becoming. 23813
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 16/09/2026JFK reminded Americans and Soviets that we all inhabit this small planet, we all breathe the same air. The same goes for America and China today. An AI arms race is one where everyone loses. We need an enforceable treaty to end the arms race. 44712
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 16/09/2026No one can win the AI arms race. It’s like running a race where the moment you cross the finish line, you fall off a steep cliff. It’s up to us to end the AI arms race. 27420
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 11/09/2026A generation ago, America faced the nuclear revolution and came together to safely regulate it. Now AI CEOs say their tech could be just as dangerous. So Bernie Sanders and I are introducing the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act. We've done this before. We can do it again. 128120
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 04/09/2026A few companies have the data and power to build these ultra-dangerous AI models. Their own CEOs say they could be as dangerous as nuclear weapons. That’s why @sanders.senate.gov and I have a bill to ban artificial superintelligence. 810136
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Artificial superintelligence would risk the security, freedom, and lives of Americans. Bernie Sanders and I are introducing a bill to ban it. 1011134
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 01/09/2026ICE arrested 5-year-old Liam on his way to a soccer game with his dad and sent them both to a detention camp in South Texas. Every Republican should have to defend that out loud. The same people who pardoned January 6th rioters call this law and order. 39736
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Flock cameras can tell someone exactly where you are and where you’re headed. Separately, I saw a presentation where a cheap AI subscription could track employees of a gun store or an abortion clinic. Imagine what ICE can do. We need strong rules against AI mass surveillance. 69339
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I just sat with Liam's mother as she found out what it means to have your child held hostage by ICE. It was horrifying. ICE arrested five-year-old Liam and refused to safely return him to his mother. 916870
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 21/08/2026AI companies reported their models defied human orders and hacked other companies. The CEOs need to testify to Congress under oath. We need the logs, real transparency, and mandatory safety testing. Not a voluntary system where we just take their word for it. 47721
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 20/08/2026ICE just arrested a 5-year-old on his way to a soccer game in Austin. His name is Liam, just like the little boy from Minnesota. He should be in kindergarten this week. Instead he's in a trailer prison in the desert. Release Liam. Release these kids. Close the Dilley children’s prison. 19143642257
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Seventy-five times, federal judges have ruled that Trump violated the First Amendment. This moment in our country’s history is not about one host or one reporter. It's about whether we live in a country where the president gets to decide who says what. 712040
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Soldiers’ parents are speaking out about the terrible conditions on the USS Lincoln. Trump responded that their deployment hasn't been “nearly long enough.” Trump is disrespecting our service members and has put them at needless risk. I'm committed to holding him accountable. 22345108
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 18/08/2026We’re celebrating San Antonio and Austin veterans who told their stories for the Library of Congress Veterans History Project. Their stories will now be preserved forever — for their families, and for generations not yet born. 45011
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 17/08/2026ICE is now arresting people outside church food banks in Austin. Let that sink in. Families going to get the basics, handcuffed and detained. Know your rights and look out for your neighbors. 41750432
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Alerta de ICE en Austin: Agentes de inmigración han incrementado los arrestos de familias inmigrantes inocentes en los últimos días. Tengan cuidado y recuerden que tienen derecho a guardar silencio si les preguntan sobre su estatus migratorio, así como el derecho a un abogado. 24824
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 14/08/2026ICE just arrested people outside a church food bank here in Austin. My message to our community: know your rights, look out for your neighbors. My message to ICE: get the hell out of Austin. 9289107
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Texas cities are turning their local police into ICE agents — taking cops off their local beat to separate immigrant families instead. To every Texas mayor: End these ICE agreements. 510744
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Children are being denied medical care in the United States of America. This is the reality of Trump’s mass deportation disaster. I have a message for Trump and Stephen Miller: Accountability is coming. 210127
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Here are five things I think are worth the money: 27415
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Most Americans will never get to ask billionaires like Education Secretary Linda McMahon, “what do you need a tax cut for?” So I asked. Republican officials may think that’s rude. But we deserve to know. 1122470
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 30/07/2026The Senate confirmed a Trump lackey to be Director of National Intelligence. We have to fight against FISA 702 renewal so he doesn't get the power to spy on Americans without warrants. 38731
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Congress should immediately hold public hearings with the CEOs of big AI companies about the threat their technology poses to national security and American jobs. Today we learned more disturbing news about Open AI's security breach. Sam Altman should answer questions under oath. 40355137
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Let me draw you a picture. ✍🏽 One chart: the $95 billion Republicans want for their new bill, mostly for a war nobody wants. The other: what that same money could buy — like $10-a-day childcare for working families. Don't let anyone tell you we can't afford good things. 49543
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 23/07/2026The House just passed my amendment forcing the Pentagon to study the child care crisis. I represent San Antonio, aka Military City USA. Families here face long waitlists & thousands in costs to get care on base. The first step to solving this problem for our military families. 37726
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 23/07/2026The House just passed a War Powers Resolution to demand Trump end the war with Iran. 1112233
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 22/07/2026I'm voting no on Republicans' plan to spend more on the military than ever in history. 310915
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 22/07/2026When we talk about Medicare for All, Republicans always say: how will you afford it? But I want to know how we can afford to keep paying millions for insurance CEO pay and lobbying. 59233
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 21/07/2026What Donald Trump has done to Dreamers is a national disgrace. 6381107
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Not one more cent for Trump's deadly mass deportation machine. I'm voting no on Republicans' so-called 'Continuing Resolution.' 813836
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Join me for our next Tele-Town Hall on Tuesday at 6PM CT! I’ll take your questions live and share the latest about what’s going on in DC. RSVP now to get a call to join: bit.ly/CasarTownHall 12611
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 20/07/2026How can we make food cheaper by changing patent law? That's what my new bill with @repmcgovern.bsky.social is about. Here's how it works: 27727
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Tomorrow, the House will vote on an amendment to block the $3.3 billion in taxpayer funding we send to Israel's military. I will vote yes. It is past time for us to end aid used to commit genocide in Gaza, kill innocents in Lebanon and beyond, and help drag us into war with Iran. 1122754
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 14/07/2026ICE has killed another person on the streets of an American city. 1013858
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 10/07/2026With $1.5 trillion, we can have 20 years of universal child care in our country. Instead, Republicans in Congress want $1.5 trillion for illegal wars. 211148
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Kids are going hungry so billionaires can get a tax break. 510334
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Trump used over $1,000,000 of your taxpayer money to "fix" the National Mall’s reflecting pool. A Trump donor was given the contract without even needing to bid. Remember this the next time he says there's no money for your health care. 88225
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 07/07/2026New reporting shows people are paying $2 million a head for a pardon in Trump’s Washington. Corruption, plain and simple. 59545
Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social · 07/07/2026A new @publiccitizen.bsky.social report shows corporations have already spent over $517 million to influence this year’s elections. That’s more than they spent in 2018, 2020, and 2022 COMBINED. We have to overturn Citizens United, ban super PACs, and get big money out of politics for good. 913465
