The @JohnCornyn disinformation machine is going strong today. He can't run against my platform, so instead he's quoting someone else's tweet and pretending it's me. So here's the truth about our energy policies he doesn't want you to know.
Since @JohnCornyn's last election in 2014, nearly half of the oil and gas production jobs in Texas have disappeared. He's not protecting jobs or fighting for workers. He's fighting for his CEO donors, and protecting their profits.
Texas must continue leading the world in energy — and that means investing in clean energy. I've been all over Texas talking with oil and gas workers who want to lead the way pragmatically and protect jobs for working families here in TEXAS.
Surprise medical bills stick vulnerable Texans with thousands in unexpected costs — even if you have good health insurance.
Here's how wealthy corporations worked craven D.C. politicians like @JohnCornyn to kill a bill protecting Texans from surprise billing. #CorporateCornyn

First, what exactly is surprise medical billing?
Go to an in-network hospital, and you think your treatment is covered by insurance. But an out-of-network specialist may treat you without you even knowing it. They can charge big $ — and your insurance won't cover it.
That's BS.

Private equity firms like Blackstone Group and KKR & Co. make an enormous profit off of surprise medical billing. But a bipartisan bill in the Senate threatened to end the practice, putting their profits at risk.
So here’s what they did:

.@JohnCornyn has been working for years to destroy the Affordable Care Act and sabotage your health care, and now #CorporateCornyn might finally get his chance to make his corporate donors very happy.
The Supreme Court is on the ballot — and so is our health care. 🧵

#CorporateCornyn has a long record of trying to keep Texans from getting the health care they need. After the Affordable Care Act was passed, Cornyn opposed closing the Medicaid coverage gap in Texas — even though we had the nation’s highest uninsured rate.
#CorporateCornyn voted 20 times to repeal the Affordable Care Act — earning him the name "Repeal's Top Salesman."
His schemes could gut protections for 4.8 million Texans with pre-existing conditions, increase Texans’ premiums by 78%, and impose an age tax on older Texans.

It’s election season, and we're giving @JohnCornyn his “toughest race yet.” So now he’s lying about his record on immigration.
The reality: he's undermined bipartisan immigration reform and sold out Dreamers repeatedly. Why?

First, let's take a look at #CorporateCornyn's record. Folks, it's a LOT of lip service.
He gives long, serious speeches about immigration reform — but in D.C., he's notorious for undermining and voting against bipartisan, commonsense reform bills. texasobserver.org/john-cornyn-im…

In fact, #CorporateCornyn is so poisonous to immigration reform that the late Sen. John McCain refused Mitch McConnell’s instruction to include Cornyn in a bipartisan immigration reform group working on a Senate bill, suspecting he would undermine it. newyorker.com/magazine/2013/…
On Labor Day, keep in mind that frontline workers have put their health at risk to keep grocery stores stocked, families healthy, and neighborhoods cared for. They're essential workers. We need to start treating them that way.
I met with frontline workers who have worked in Texas' meat packing plants and grocery stores. It's not just their own lives and health they're worried about — they're worried about catching COVID-19 and then transmitting it to their loved ones. Whole families are at risk.
Unfortunately, we have leaders who put corporate donors over regular people. John Cornyn has fought his entire career to undermine worker protections. This year, he left town for a month without securing critical relief for Texas workers who have lost their jobs due to COVID-19.
If you want to know why Washington is broken, follow the money.
So we dug into why John Cornyn is pushing to protect negligent corporations while Texans are struggling to keep a roof over their heads and feed their families. Here's what we found.

First, some background.
Sen. Cornyn stalled COVID-19 relief talks by trying to wedge in a “liability shield” — which would protect the bottom lines of corporations whose negligence causes customers or employees to contract COVID-19. #CorporateCornyn thehill.com/homenews/senat…

So who wants this? Whose bottom line is #CorporateCornyn protecting over working Texans?
For-profit nursing and senior living homes that negligently put their residents and staff at risk sure would.
Argentum, an association for senior living companies, gave Cornyn $12,500.
