Hundreds of thousands of working Texans make a minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, which means they need to 2 or even 3 jobs just to pay the rent and put food on the table. And your hometown of Houston leads the nation in evictions of these minimum wage workers during the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

110 Texans died in mass shootings in the last 2 years because you’re more concerned about taking care of the NRA than in taking care of the people you are supposed to serve. Families from El Paso, Sutherland Springs, Santa Fe High, Midland/Odessa know what a real crisis is. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

The state you “represent” in the Senate is the least insured in the nation. That means your constituents are dying of diabetes, curable cancers and the flu (as well as 50,000 from Covid in the last year alone) because they can’t afford a doctor or medicine. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

You’re in a Border Patrol boat armed with machine guns. The only threat you face is unarmed children and families who are seeking asylum (as well as the occasional heckler). If you’re looking for a crisis to cosplay Senator for, I’m happy to point you in the right direction. — PolitiTweet.org

The @MomsDemand volunteers I met early this morning at the Texas capitol have been at it all day and into the late night, working to keep Texans safe and bringing common sense to our gun laws. Thank you! https://t.co/QGSH5SB4a3 — PolitiTweet.org

Last thing: There’s ANOTHER voter suppression bill (SB7) in the Texas Senate tomorrow. I know, it’s a lot to ask, but please come testify against it at State Affairs Committee: 9am. Room E1.004. We can’t afford to be on the sidelines when it comes to voting. More soon. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

No wonder he didn’t want to hold this hearing in the full light of day. But try as they might to duck public scrutiny for forcing this fraud on Texas voters, we will hold the GOP accountable for prioritizing voter suppression over every real problem the people of Texas face. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

You’re more likely to be struck by lighting than to encounter voter fraud in Texas. And yet THIS is what they’re wasting time on. 50,000 Texans have died of Covid. 100+ died during a power outage in the energy capital of North America. And we remain the least insured state. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Among other things, the bill takes authority from local elections administrators, threatens voting rights organizations with punitive felony charges and keeps disabled voters from getting assistance in filling out a ballot. And it’s all premised on the BIG LIE of election fraud. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

I joined hundreds of Texans who drove in from all over - El Paso, Del Rio, Nacogdoches, McAllen, Dallas, Houston etc - to testify against a voter suppression bill at the capitol today. But the Republican committee chairman ENDED the meeting before taking ANY testimony! https://t.co/XZ2K3RrvLU — PolitiTweet.org

About to testify — see you at the link above! — PolitiTweet.org

If you want to testify on HB6, a voter suppression bill pending in the Texas legislature, there’s still time to sign up. If you can’t make it in person but want to watch, here you go: https://t.co/9upFlceiAr — PolitiTweet.org

This Saturday we’re going door to door in 17 Texas cities to help register those who’ve been hit hardest by covid for the vaccine, including people w/out internet access or cell phones and those with language barriers. Join a vaccination canvass here: https://t.co/YVL7RWYEEc — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Vaccine equity: Latinos are 36% of the Texas adult population, but 50% of Covid deaths. They’ve received 29% of first vaccine doses. Black Texans (3x as likely as whites to die from Covid) are 12% of population but 8% of first vaccine doses. 1/2 https://t.co/4bwwLwEiy0 — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

What could we do to make it better? - Stop using Title 42 - Lawfully process asylum requests - Free families & children from immigration detention - Add independent immigration judges - Re-write our immigration laws - Prioritize the Americas in our foreign policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Apples to apples, the number of unique individuals attempting to come to this country is similar to what we saw during this same period in 2019 (for my Republican friends & media who are absolutely losing their shit right now, this is when Donald Trump was in the White House). — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

The false premise that immigrants would make the pandemic worse was used by Trump (and now Biden) to immediately expel asylum seekers at the border. This caused a spike in attempts, as the same people tried multiple times to cross (e.g. one person could count for 10+ encounters) — PolitiTweet.org

To the people of Boulder, we are with you. We are sending you all the strength and love in the world. To the people of America, we don’t have to live like this. We don’t have to die like this. It’s our choice. — PolitiTweet.org
