These are great suggestions, we are on it! And keep em coming.

OK, just posted San Angelo, College Station/Bryan, Temple, Corpus Christi, Abilene, Ballinger, Brownwood, Coleman and Eastland. More on the way!

Texans are suffering without power because those in power have failed us. As with Covid, a natural disaster has become far deadlier due to the inaction & ineptitude of Abbott and Texas’ Republican leadership. This didn’t have to happen and doesn’t have to continue. 1/4

While they focused on bathroom bills, “show me your papers” legislation and fighting with sports teams over the Star Spangled Banner, 30 million Texans were left vulnerable to uncontrolled Covid spread, a bungled vaccine rollout and now this “rolling” power blackout. 2/4

If you can’t do your most important job - protecting the lives of those you were sworn to serve - then get out of the way and give the power and resources to local leaders who are fighting with all they’ve got to get past your mess and save the people in their communities. 3/4

@GregAbbott_TX

You know what doesn’t “sell well” @GregAbbott_TX?

The fact that 36,000 Texans have died from Covid.

Your have undermined public health and local leadership at every turn, and now too many of our family, friends and neighbors are dead because of it. 1/8

https://twitter.com/roberttgarrett/status/1354867189401182210

If you’d followed the science instead of the polling from the start, we could have contained Covid, saved lives and let everyone get back to work. More than 4 million unemployment claims and too many businesses sidelined because you couldn’t do the right thing. 2/8

Also not selling so well: you’ve abandoned rural Texans. 21 hospitals have closed in rural counties since 2010, and now more than a million Texans might lose phone & internet service because you cut subsidies for those providers. In the middle of a pandemic. 3/8

We have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to save and strengthen American democracy. It’s critical that the House and Senate pass the For The People Act so that all Americans have equal access to the ballot. 1/6 usatoday.com/story/opinion/…

It would end partisan gerrymandering and the system by which members of Congress choose their voters by creating independent commissions to draw our congressional districts. 2/6

It would end felon disenfranchisement throughout America, restoring a civic voice to millions, and offering a second chance to returning citizens. 3/6
