“The ERCOT grid has collapsed in exactly the same manner as the old Soviet Union,” said Ed Hirs, an energy fellow at the University of Houston. “It limped along on underinvestment and neglect until it finally broke under predictable circumstances."

“Zero is the number for me,” Rep. @RogerWilliamsTX said of relief for Texans who are hurting. Takes $1-2 million bailout for his personal business, shows total disdain for working Texans in #TX25 who have lost jobs and face eviction. Unworthy of Texas.

Moderate rigidity is losing us seats, and we're always the ones blamed. It's responsible to run on: • Healthcare in a pandemic • A jobs plan that rebuilds our economy and averts climate disaster • Corruption in politics It's irresponsible not to.

If Betsy DeVos has 10 yachts, and I have 0 yachts, we have an average of 5 yachts each. That is the math of this tax cut. 83% of the tax cuts accrue to the wealthiest 1% of this country. The rest of us pay for it with cuts to social security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

I have fought every day that I’ve been in Congress to bring a commonsense business owner’s perspective to Washington. After years of fighting for the American worker, I am proud to say that we accomplished just that last year when we passed the historic Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Beto stepped up and ran straight into the fight when others hung back — and pushed TX from 50th in turnout into one of the top states for turnout. His humanity & willingness to listen set him apart in a world of careerist political bullshit. He is the best and TX is grateful.

Thank you, Texas! Extraordinarily proud of the determination and commitment that our organizing team and our volunteers have shown -- working their hearts out, knocking doors, canvassing and working hard day in day out to drive historic turnout. This win is theirs.

I'm ready to put my 20 years of healthcare finance experience to work in Congress to lower prescription drug prices and lower costs for every Texan. Nobody should go broke if they get sick. Breaking down how we can lower property taxes in Texas by getting everyone covered here.

Instead of fixing the grid, Texas Republicans voted to make Texans pay. And tonight, on a holiday weekend, they are ramming through a bill that removes Dr Martin Luther King, Jr from history books and a bill that closes dozens of polling places in Black neighborhoods. #txlege

Texas lawmakers approved bills that would allow around $4.5 billion in bonds backed by charges on customers’ bills for natural gas utilities and another $2 billion in such bonds for electric cooperatives.

Good morning, Texas. Today is Election Day. The polls are open until 7pm. In Austin, it's the last day to vote *against* Prop B. It is inhumane, illogical, illegal, and increases already skyrocketing property taxes. It makes things worse. Housing first. Vote No on Prop B.
