@Blake78620 @nthnryn They’re supposed to trim trees as prevention.

[Alix @texxila]

@austinenergy Trim the trees—prevention!! Start burying the power lines along major arteries.

[Alix @texxila]

@pv20202015 @KirkPWatson @austinenergy Google map images of where my neighborhood lost power since 9am M. Why isn’t @austinenergy trimming trees?!?! Preventable @KirkPWatson

@Austin_Police what happened at Wheeles, Gaston Place, Northeast Dr today?

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

Make utilities public.

I don’t want bipartisan compromise with a party that refused to convict a president that incited an insurrection that left people dead.

The Senate needs to abolish the filibuster, and we need to pass the bold agenda we were elected to accomplish.

[Fort Bend County Judge Daniel Wong @FBC_Judge]

Why is our Governor on FOX with political hacks complaining about...windmills? I invite him to visit 90 yr olds in Fort Bend w/o heat, water, or power on O2 tanks. Stop the rhetoric. We need leadership, not empty presidential ambitions. We already have empty power grids...

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

I go offline a few days and return to a GOP Gov blaming policies he hasn’t even implemented for his own failures.

Gov. Abbott doesn’t seem to have a grasp on his state, so here’s a reminder: Texas runs 80-90% on fossil fuels.

The real “deadly deal” is his failed leadership.

[KXAN News @KXAN_News]

"While they focused on bathroom bills, "show me your papers" legislation and fighting with sports teams over the Star Spangled Banner, 30M Texans were left vulnerable..." Beto O'Rourke said, calling out Gov. Greg Abbott/others for the mass power outages.

You can always count on @GregAbbott_TX to pass the buck when he fails.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

The more I read about what’s happening in Texas right now, the more appalled I get. Just a shocking failure of leadership on almost every level.

@bblock29 Who CARES!

[Ellen Barkin @EllenBarkin]

I AM SICK OF THE MSM CONTINUING ITS NON STOP COVERAGE OF trump.

[Sodor Iscariot @pinkblacknoise]

@JYSexton it amazes me that "patriotism" doesn't mean wanting your population to be as healthy as possible, but instead being totally OK with letting vast numbers of people needlessly get sick and die.

[Jared Yates Sexton @JYSexton]

We are living in the consequences of malicious and incompetent management over the course of years and generations and no one responsible will admit their part or work to repair the damage. All they have are conspiracy theories and partisan blame to win news cycles.

[Kurt Eichenwald @kurteichenwald]

El Paso TX is on national grid & still has power. Cities on Texas grid are struggling without power/heat. Because it is on the national grid, El Paso gets energy from plants with winterizing regs. Texas grid “deregulated” so no winterizing. People are dying for GOP philosophies.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

The situation is dire in Austin. We’re without power and heat with no end in sight amidst frigid temperatures. My wife and I still have running water. Others have had pipes break. There needs to be accountability for what happened. Right now the priority is to keep people safe.

[Alix @texxila]

@mattyglesias Most of TX power is NG, Coal and Nuclear!!! Wind is a small percentage. How can you be so uninformed?!?!

[Paul Cogan @PaulCogan]

Biden uses a Peloton to save taxpayers $144,000,000 by not playing golf - how about that for a headline NYTimes?
