#MayDay & #InternationalWorkersDay is when we celebrate union power across the world! ✊🏽 It's been a historic year in the labor movement, but Congress can & must do more to support unions. Working people deserve a government that works for them! #1u
Do chickens count?
"@RepCasar, @JoaquinCastrotx, and their colleagues are spot on with this letter. We've seen how damaging Operation Lone Star is for borderland communities like mine,” said @mlimongarza. “The damage of OLS is palpable whether it's deadly high-speed chases or the unnecessary…

So grateful for the #TX35 community members who volunteered their time, talent, and expertise as judges for our 2024 Congressional Art Competition. I look forward to celebrating this year’s winners in the district soon! 🎨💙
Every student should be able to attend class free from discrimination or harassment, regardless of their identity. It’s bullies like Greg Abbott who make these federal protections necessary. Now, he wants to ignore them. texastribune.org/2024/04/29/tex…
I love hearing from our youngest #TX35 constituents! Thanks to Sebastian & the other bright minds from Kyle Elementary for writing to me about how to improve traffic, tackle the climate crisis, and so much more! The future of Texas is bright!
In 2022, 5,486 workers were killed on the job in the U.S. Every single worker has the right to a safe workplace — whether that means guaranteed rest breaks, thorough safety training, or paid sick days. This #WorkersMemorialDay, let's protect people over corporate profits.

Congrats to @TravisCoJudge for a great State of the County! As your Congressman, I’m fighting for the heart of Texas every single day — and that means working hand in hand with Travis County leaders to deliver for you and your family.
This is BIG! The Biden Administration just announced new protections for consumers & workers: ❌ Banning noncompete agreements 💰 Expanding who qualifies for overtime ✈️ Ensuring automatic refunds for flight delays All made possible by @USProgressives’ organizing & advocacy!
NEW: Today, my office delivered $850,000 in federal funding to renovate two @HustonTillotson residence halls and the student union! We're investing in students — the future leaders of Travis County — so they can continue living and learning in East Austin!
Freedom of speech and peaceful assembly are basic constitutional rights. Student protesters — whether you agree with them or not — have a right to safety & fairness. Responding to peaceful demonstrations with weapons and riot gear escalates tension and makes everyone less safe.

For 3+ years, TX border communities have resisted Gov. Abbott's disastrous Operation Lone Star (OLS). Groups have documented CBP violating migrants’ rights in support of OLS. Congress must reject any involvement with this hateful program and protect human rights

Operation Lone Star and other similar programs have done nothing but harm people seeking refuge and damage communities across Texas. We need actual human solutions that respect human dignity. #OperationLoneStar

Most Americans do not want our government to write a blank check for Netanyahu’s war in Gaza. We support achieving a ceasefire that allows hostages to be freed, humanitarian aid to be delivered, and peace talks to begin. My statement with others who voted NO on HR 8034:
@RepCasar @kaylaguo_ @nytimes Thank you for standing on the right side of history today, @RepCasar
This is a moment for members of Congress who support a safe and secure Israel to send a message that giving Netanyahu more offensive weapons is not a path for peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians. nytimes.com/2024/04/19/us/…
"Representative @JoaquinCastrotx, Democrat of Texas, called it a 'defining vote,' adding, 'We’re either going to participate in the carnage, or we’re not.'" Liberal Democrats Urge ‘No’ Vote on Israel Aid to Pressure Biden on Gaza nytimes.com/2024/04/19/us/…
Framing the upcoming vote as a make-or-break moral choice akin to Congress’s votes to authorize and fund the Iraq war, progressive leaders in the House are working to muster a sizable bloc of Democratic opposition to the Israel aid measure. nytimes.com/2024/04/19/us/…
“We’re either going to participate in the carnage or we’re not.” -@JoaquinCastrotx “We may well be casting the vote on whether a much wider war takes place & whether US weapons...result in the death of thousands of innocent people.” -@RepLloydDoggett nytimes.com/2024/04/19/us/…
Today's standalone vote on aid to Israel is a moment of great consequence where Congress can help shape the outcome of what is happening in Gaza & the region. My no vote is not a vote against Israel. It's a vote for the security of Israelis & Palestinians. nytimes.com/2024/04/19/us/…
