When Democrats stand up and fight, we win. Texas House Democrats — in the minority — proved that when they defeated a voter suppression bill last night. U.S. Senate Democrats — who are in the majority! — must stick together for our democracy and pass the For the People Act. https://t.co/Z5iGrMPZ5R — PolitiTweet.org

Courageous Americans have fought and died for the right to vote. As that right comes under unprecedented attack, we honor their sacrifice by fighting to pass the most important voting rights legislation of our time, the For the People Act. https://t.co/7PNdYMsICm — PolitiTweet.org

I am grateful for those who gave their lives for this country and to their families who have endured such great sacrifice. Let us always honor them by keeping true to the fight for liberty, justice and democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Texas Democrats bought us some time tonight. Now let’s make the most of it by winning the fight for voting rights, while we still can. Here are a few things we can do together in the coming days: https://t.co/11LfIiAzpF — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Proud of Texas House Dems. They fought voter suppression with everything they had & kept the hope of free & fair elections alive for another day. There will be a special session with another voter suppression bill. But they bought Texas some time. Let’s make the most of it. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Texas House Democrats: Fight this voter suppression bill with all you’ve got. This is about the right to vote for every single Texan. There’s nothing more important. Keep up the fight, as long as it takes. Whatever it takes. The people of Texas are counting on you. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

RT @marceelias: In Texas, the Big Lie is about to become enshrined in state law. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

They’re trying to pass this elections bill in Texas under the cover of night, without scrutiny. At a minimum we can watch them here: https://t.co/Ywo1sFr2fM And at maximum we can each resolve to do everything in our power to stop this slide before we lose democracy altogether. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

You can’t make this shit up. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Thank you President Biden for supporting the fight for voting rights in Texas. As you said, “we should be making it easier, not harder, for every eligible voter to vote.” The only way to do that now is by passing the For the People Act. https://t.co/TsZGBBlt8A — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Texas lawmakers would dismantle our democracy in order to keep themselves in power. We’re doing all we can to stop this bill from becoming law. But we can’t do it alone. We need help. The U.S. Senate must pass the For the People Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

It’s the filibuster or democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

13/ Finally, it’s time to get serious about climate change. It’s the only way we can fully prepare for, and hopefully prevent, further tragedy from climate disasters https://t.co/KH4RhwMPKv — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

12/ Here’s what lawmakers should’ve been focusing on:   •Ambitious, market-driven energy efficiency programs •Addressing energy poverty for low-income Texans •Fully weatherizing state energy sources •Resilient, onsite energy at critical facilities like hospitals — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

11/ Some in Texas GOP are calling for a special legislative session to continue picking on trans kids, which they've done all session instead of fixing power grid problems https://t.co/mDl1etTMAZ — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

10/ More than 100 Texans have died of overheating in their own homes during summer months over the past decade. These are disproportionately poor Texans, who ration electricity to avoid massive bills due to energy inefficiency in their homes. https://t.co/hhbz73QQEY — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

9/ There’s no excuse for this. Lives are on the line. Texas remains at elevated risk of summer power outages as rising temperatures push our grid to the limit. https://t.co/Fno7bpq1cQ — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

8/ Reps like @ErinForYall proposed bills that would have better safeguarded vulnerable facilities from power outages, like nursing homes and dialysis centers, where many died in the storm. But she got no support from Republican leaders https://t.co/klG3YwGmTM — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

7/ Legislation also makes no real effort to strengthen energy efficiency...even though lack of insulation in people's homes is a big reason why so many Texans died from hypothermia in their own beds during the winter storm https://t.co/PZU6QSt6U1 — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

6/ Legislation on the table falls short of guaranteeing proper weatherization of natural gas wells and pipelines, thanks to more gas industry lobbying https://t.co/0xWMYt1y8w — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

5/ It’s too late for Texas lawmakers to save the 700 lives we lost. But they did have this entire legislative session (which ends on Monday) to pass reforms that can prevent future grid failures. They didn't go nearly far enough. https://t.co/R0Ikxzoptl — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

4/ Just so happens Governor @GregAbbott_TX has received $26 million in political contributions from the oil & gas industry (more than any other economic sector)...  https://t.co/hfbZZQHx4y — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

3/ Instead, lawmakers sided with the oil & gas industry lobbyists who’ve spent millions successfully influencing them to shield the energy system from meaningful regulation and whose failures are largely responsible for the blackouts.  https://t.co/hgSK11fuXe — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

2/ Texas officials received SEVERAL warnings over the past DECADE from state utility regulators about the human tragedy that could come if power grid vulnerabilities went unaddressed. These warnings were ignored. https://t.co/ELMeXI6eDr — PolitiTweet.org
