The Department of Veterans Affairs is urging veterans to apply for new toxic exposure benefits ahead of an 8/9 deadline.
Since the PACT Act became law last August, over 600k veterans have applied for benefits — including at least 62k from TX.

With the passing of Sandra Tenorio, Hays County has lost a great leader.
She served as Kyle's first Hispanic Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem of Buda, and director of border & immigration issues for Gov. Richards.
She opened the door for many Tejanos and leaves behind an amazing legacy.

The Dove Springs Back to School Bash shows the true power of community!
It was great to meet with East Austin families & give out backpacks with local leaders. 🎒
Texas is brighter & better when we invest in our children & families.👏🏽
Working Texans’ stories are being heard.
Our federal government must guarantee water breaks and heat protections for every worker.
Anti-union laws that starve striking workers have no place in America.
Senator Fetterman, Representative Adams, and I are introducing the Food Secure Strikers Act to ensure that striking workers and their families can receive SNAP benefits and make ends meet.
After no water for nearly 9 hours on the Capitol steps, I feel more confident than ever that we can make positive change in this country for working people— including winning the right to basic water breaks.
Workers everywhere are counting on a federal heat rule.
LIVE NOW: I'm at the U.S. Capitol holding an all-day Vigil & Thirst Strike for Workers' Rights. Our climate is in crisis & workers in every state are dying from the heat. @POTUS must create a federal heat rule and save lives — because workers can’t wait!
Follow along on my Twitter and FB pages.
SOON: I'm holding an all-day Vigil & Thirst Strike for Workers’ Rights at the U.S. Capitol.
Every worker deserves the right to a basic water break, even if extremists like Greg Abbott don't think so.
#WorkersCantWait for a federal workplace heat rule.
More about our letter and why Texas workers are counting on President Biden and OSHA, from Ursula Perano at The Daily Beast:
President Biden and OSHA have the opportunity to protect workers and save lives.
Greg Abbott will be on the wrong side of history. (4/5)
Democrats are going to stand up for common sense and for working people.
That’s why Representatives Judy Chu, Sylvia Garcia, Raul Grijalva, Bobby Scott, and Senators Sherrod Brown, Catherine Cortez Masto, Alex Padilla, Bernie Sanders and I am leading this letter today. (3/5)
Bought-and-paid-for politicians like Greg Abbott are stripping workers of their right to a water break in the middle of a historic heat wave. It’s insane. (2/5)
TODAY: I’m leading a group of 110+ Members of Congress in calling on President Joe Biden and OSHA to create federal heat protections for all workers. (1/5)
It’s been 8 years since 25-year-old Roendy Granillo died of heat stroke while working a construction job.
Texans need federal protections for the basic right to a water break. Working shouldn’t be a death sentence.
This 2015 article tells Roendy's story:
“In the past decade in Texas, there were 1,000 more days of record-breaking heat than a normal decade.”
If state leaders won't protect us, the federal government must step up and create rest breaks protections for everyone.
Texas workers can't wait.
"I cannot express enough how grateful I am for Congressman Greg Casar's exceptional service & Ana's invaluable assistance."

Tonight I’m wearing a pin to honor and remember Maite Rodriguez, one of the 21 victims of the Uvalde shooting.
The victims and their families deserve nothing but respect, love, and justice.
