His Twitter timeline is a laundry list of resources for Texans who are still reeling from the storm\u2019s impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than two years have passed since O\u2019Rourke vacated his House seat in to challenge Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, who defeated O\u2019Rourke in the 2018 midterms in the closest U.S. Senate race Texas had seen in four decades. But O\u2019Rourke and other Texas Democrats have been mobilizing their political resources on behalf of struggling Texans, also looking to draw a sharp contrast to GOP rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.motherjones.com\/politics\/2021\/02\/texas-democrats-use-their-organizing-power-for-disaster-relief\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.motherjones.com\/politics\/2021\/02\/texas-democrats-use-their-organizing-power-for-disaster-relief\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lire la Suite:<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Texas rescue!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/OcasioCortez\/videos\/1326887057681629\/\"><strong>https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/OcasioCortez\/videos\/1326887057681629\/<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FOcasioCortez%2Fvideos%2F1326887057681629%2F&#038;width=500&#038;show_text=true&#038;height=770&#038;appId\" width=\"500\" height=\"770\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowFullScreen=\"true\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">AOC talks about the Green New Deal and emergency preparedness in Texas.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/OcasioCortez\/videos\/419833095976873\/\"><strong>https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/OcasioCortez\/videos\/419833095976873\/<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the Texas Freeze and Midwest floods, to California wildfires and Hurricane Mar\u00eda, the climate crisis impacts us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We must come together and act boldly to stem climate change, AND we can create 20 million+ jobs in the process. <em>That\u2019s<\/em> what a #GreenNewDeal is all about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FOcasioCortez%2Fvideos%2F419833095976873%2F&#038;width=500&#038;show_text=true&#038;height=680&#038;appId\" width=\"500\" height=\"680\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowFullScreen=\"true\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kara VoghtReporter Fight disinformation.
