Doctors in Fort Stockton tell me they need Abbott to step up and lead on Covid and rural health care. Abbott’s failure to expand Medicaid and his ANTI-public health orders are killing Texans in rural communities. https://t.co/o5H3Z6EcTr — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s what the RGV deserves from the next Governor: - A leader who invests in great schools, great jobs and needed infrastructure - Someone who sees border communities as our greatest opportunity, not our greatest threat - A partner to listen to and work with local leadership — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Here’s what the RGV gets from Abbott: - Loss of power, heat and water in February & higher utility bills ever since - Photo ops in front of the wall & a message that border communities are a threat - Failure to invest in schools, health care & broadband https://t.co/LSQcraX3BS — PolitiTweet.org

Abbott deployed Guard members to the border to boost his poll numbers & then delayed their pay, slashed their earned benefits, and denied them necessities as basic as bathrooms. They deserve better. https://t.co/3plYjWDel9 — PolitiTweet.org

Update from when I wrote this in August: The Texas anti-voter bill is now law; the Senate still hasn’t moved; and President Biden gave another strong speech on the state of democracy. But the question still stands: what action will the President, the Senate and the people take? — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

We must hold accountable those responsible for attacks on our democracy as we work to strengthen the right to vote. History shows that when we fail to do this our democracy dies. This piece from last year provides some examples. https://t.co/9d1Sf5j9dJ — PolitiTweet.org

ANOTHER death & attempted suicide among Texas Guard troops (on top of 4 suicides in the last 2 months). Delayed pay. Slashed benefits. Awful living conditions. And for what? A political stunt on the border. Might be good for Abbott’s poll numbers. Terrible for Guard members. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

And lastly, I hope you will share your stories, photos and videos of what you went through during Abbott's grid failure last year. You will be seen and heard and we will ensure that this never happens again. You can share your stories at [email protected] — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Abbott has failed Texas. He will continue to fail Texas until he is out of office. Now it's on all of us to do something about it. Please join our campaign to ensure that we have a governor who will keep the lights on, the heat running and the water flowing in Texas. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Recent reports show the gas sector (#1 contributor to the grid failure) is just as unprepared for extreme weather now as it was in February. Abbott hasn't required gas supply CEOs to do anything, perhaps because they've donated millions to his campaign since the grid collapsed. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

They were killed by the incompetence and corruption of Abbott who was warned repeatedly about the grid's vulnerabilities but did nothing. And after the grid failed and hundreds died, he STILL did nothing. We could see more tragedy the next time Texas experiences extreme weather. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Last year we learned of the 75 yr old veteran who died when his oxygen tank failed & the 11 yr old who died under a pile of blankets in his bed. We now know that at least 8 kids & 147 seniors—the most vulnerable among us—died, literally left in the cold to fend for themselves. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

The report says Texans lost family members, friends and neighbors in 77 counties. Cases included: - Hypothermia/frostbite (161) - Carbon monoxide poisoning/fire (29) - Medical treatment disruption (25) Independent reports suggest this is a gross undercount & that over 700 died. https://t.co/tY96V0w5z9 — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

THREAD: Abbott's HHS agency tried to bury a report about February's grid failure on New Year's Eve. Many of us missed it, as was the intent. But those who lost power and lost a loved one deserve to know what happened. It turns out it was in many ways much worse than we thought. https://t.co/s1KA3mXjEE — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Please get vaccinated and boosted. Covid hospitalizations in Texas have doubled in the past 2 weeks. They’ve tripled among children, making Texas the national leader in child Covid hospitalizations. Take care of yourself and your neighbors. https://t.co/9Q0cdLLN9n https://t.co/vAp0gMxyc2 — PolitiTweet.org
