TX Officials At The State Level Not Doing Their Jobs, Says Fmr. HUD Secretary | Morning Joe | MSNBC
No they are not but they enjoy receiving those nice paychecks!
A friend reminded me the other day ENRON wasn't that in TEXAS, >>>>>Yeah, Keep electing Republicans, Keep Getting F!@#
If Texas takes federal disaster relief dollars, than US taxpayers should have a say of how Texas should clean up its act.
they need to put their auto pay off
What state has the dumbest senators?
i saw how the houses are built. in my country these structures would be barns for hay .. at best. almost no insulation. crazy ..
Why in Gods name did no one tell these people to drain their pipes! I bet there isnt a plumber in Texas with burst pipes. This is one simple thing the Government could have announced and saved a lot of people a lot of heartache and misery.
How many times do we have to go over this? Republican officials are representatives for the 1% and large corporations, they don't care about you if you have a net worth less than $5 Million. Notice Abbot blaming windmills immediately instead of seeing how he could help Texans. He got his marching orders from his Big Oil overlords.
Morning Joe is so much better without Joe Scarborough and his fake outrage, constant interruptions whilst Mika is speaking and self righteousness. Mika is a much better interviewer than JS because she actually listens.
I don't see any ice from Ted's pictures, looks like it was done on a nice day in a quiet car park 🤣 Secondly support from federal government would be socialism since it would be tax, that's a naughty word isn't it 🤣 Best of luck Texans but you gotta get rid of moron Ted 🤟
They voted GOP, AND deregulated to save $$$ and we the blue and regulated states pay. But the GOP slowed aid to PR and CA
Ted Cruz never went into politics to help the people, he went into politics to help himself. That’s the difference between him and AOC.
Screw them. They asked for and created this mess.
It's Texas. Wall them off and let survival of the fittest take over. It's what they say want. Until reality kicks in.
If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
GREG ABBOTT'S BIGGEST POLITICAL DONOR IS THE FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY🤮🤮
What ya'll gonna do for Sandbranch, TX! 👀🤔😡
Because they are only working for themselves This should have been fixed years ago But they have forgotten what they were elected to do They make more money on the bribery and don't even worry about getting caught They each and everyone of them in politics has forgotten that they took an Oath I don't believe it means anything to them They just line their pockets Everytime they pass a bill to help the people We get the scraps They get what they need to make more money I guess big corporations are paying better than we do Because it's all about money and not about the people NOW
Republicans government!! Texas voted for this so no thanks!
You vote for an R in texas. Just means your ridiculous.
Some run away from helping and dodge responsibility, others run to the problems and make a positive difference. What type is in charge in Texas?
The Public Utility Commission had an emergency meeting to stop energy companies from billing customers? You mean BIG GOVERNMENT was stepping in to tell SMALL BUSINESSES how to run their companies and not letting the MARKET decide?
Texas is a communist state if the capitalist laws don't apply.
Well duh...
MSNBC is desperate to keep feeding their audience anti-Conservative narratives. Without Trump the hard lefty propaganda channel is flailing as they try to keep their audience angry and thus interested in the propaganda they’re selling.
I hope Texans remember that Cruz showed as much care for them as he did his dog. His first instinct was to leave them all to freeze without even water that's safe to drink.
If 45* was still in office, he'd just throw a few paper towels at a photo op and do nothing else.
Those photos of Cruz, is he loading his and wifes car with water, seems about right
Wait what??? Government workers not doing their jobs, Impossible. I don't believe it
Don't pay the electric bill .
Most GOP leaders in Texas are supported by donations by energy companies. So anti-regulatory laws in the state legislature are written in their favor.
Where are the idiots that protested outside vote counters properties? I bet those MAGATs and Capitol rioters feel frozen and stupid now! Will other Texans hold them responsible? If they like Mexico, Ted Cruz's children should be treated like Mexicans and put in cages and sterilised ..

Is there a list of the shareholders who made profits from not updating the Texan power infrastructure? Texans could go protest outside shareholder properties as they did for vote counters. Frozen Texan children, ask your parents if they would still vote for Ted Cruz that did nothing other than go to Mexico? Frozen Texan children, ask your parents if they believed Trump that Climate change is a Chinese hoax?
Gas and coal systems also fell over not just the wind power systems. Corporates needed to update the infrastructure but saved money for shareholders instead. The bad news is Texans voted for Traitor Trump's do nothing strategy that he also used for the Covid response. The good news is that it is summer in New Zealand.
Amen thank you, I truly want Ted Cruz gone! As a Texas we deserve better then him, we need to demand it he obviously has not cared in a long time if ever.shows he does not care and he will never care..
The problem wasn't Lying Cruz flying to Cancun...it was that he came back.
The dishonesty, the lack of shame, character, integrity, honor, and courage of Congressional Republicans like Lying Cruz just never ceases to amaze and disgust.
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), which supplies about 90% of the state with its power, said Tuesday that wind power is responsible for just a fraction of the loss. "Of the power shortfall that hit Texas, over 80% was due to problems at coal- and gas-fired plants," PolitiFact reported. Experts say traditional energy sources, including coal and natural gas, performed below expectations, while wind power actually performed above expectations. "Main story continues to be the failure of thermal power plants - natural gas, coal, and nuclear plants - which ERCOT counts on to be there when needed. They've failed," Princeton engineering professor Jesse Jenkins tweeted Tuesday. "Those of you who have heard that frozen wind turbines are to blame for this, think again. The extreme demand and thermal power plant outages are the principle cause." Just to also note; this is the third time Texas has experienced power losses due to winter weather events. It happened before in 1986 and 2011, and the Texas legislature and Governors have repeatedly ignored warnings of catastrophe and recommendations that power generating infrastructure urgently needed upgrading to winterize it. In fact, it was current Texas Governor Greg Abbott who sued the EPA in 2011 as Texas AG to resist compliance with Federal energy grid regulations. Compounding the problem is that Texas and ERCOT decided to be independent of the national grid to avoid regulations, which would have helped ameliorate power losses. Now, instead of Texas having spent a little money to insure themselves energy security, U.S. taxpayers will be bailing out hundreds of millions in aid to Texas because of their ignorance, greed, and criminal negligence.
GOP under Trump is no more Grand Old Party, it's now Greedy Orange People.
Do you think Texans will be stupid enough to vote these Republican JACKASSES back into office? I guess we'll see in 2022 and/or 2024.
The thick drug alarmingly hurry because anime dfly fetch off a gullible gusty chicory. sloppy, unique roadway
You people don't get it....Texas isn't equipped to take care of an inch of snow let alone a foot or so....a half an inch will shut down Dallas because they don't have snow trucks...joe dropped the ball on this one...
The pastoral plaster commercially nod because dinosaur electrophysiologically rock next a private puffin. amused, abhorrent asparagus
Did you just see Ted Cruz giving water what a hypocrite now he's doing something so he can look good
Don’t Mess with Texas! They used to said!..
It's all Obama's fault ...
GOP depraved indifference! Insurance companies have clout, they can hammer imbecilic Abbott!
There should have been alerts telling people to leave taps on...just dripping...to stop the pipes from bursting.....its not something that would be common knowledge in Texas...
Why weatherize.. Then they can't jack up prices and make bank when things go bad...
isnets.info/main/ZXW12WF5zpLJmp4/v-deo.html
They’re Republicans. They never did do their job, they just want more ways to rip off taxpayers
4:25 “You can’t put people in charge of government who don’t believe in government in the first place. They’re going to fail you every time.” EXACTLY
Sadly I think 2020 showed us that no officials are really doing the jobs they're voted for and paid by the taxpayers to do.. Welcome to America the dumpsterfire where elected officials care nothing for their voters and taxpayers and only care about the rich and wallstreet... Poor and corrupt leadership and their massive greed has ruined this once great nation...
Ted Crud loading water into a car? What a joke. Sick joke!!
This is a good man
As long as it's a Republican messing over the Texans it's okay; poor fellow didn't mean it. But had it been a Democratic; well they would have shot the fella head off! Make a donkey of your own and its okay.
Texans who think that living in a deregulated state was a good thing, are prob thinking differently as they open thousand of dollars in energy bills for energy consumption they didn't even use because the entire power grid was frozen over. This is what deregulation does to consumers . It allows consumers to be ripped off , and charged any amount that businesses choose to charge their customers. Regulation is consumer protection. Deregulation is just the opposite. Stop electing the same people who did this to you .
What haven't the republicans f***** up yet?
⚠️ OKAY,...OKAY,...ALL MSDNC AND CNN ARE REALLY DOING IS GIVING TRUMP MORE AIR TIME A DOY DURR 🤪 DOY DURR 🤪 A DOY DURR 🤪
The job of republicans is to get elected. Just as the job of traders is to take money.
ANOTHER FAILED REPUBLICAN STATE THAT SHOULD NOT GET FEDERAL FUNDS. THEY DON'T WANT TO SEND MONEY TO "FAILED LIBERAL STATES", SO...NO SOUP FOR YOU! FAILED CONSERVATIVE STATES DON'T DESERVE HELP IF LIBERAL STATES DON'T.
Well, at least all those unemployed Wisconsin pipeline workers can head to Texas for work. Win win. 👍🏼
Department of Energy order #202-21-1. Its Gov. Abbots request to the DOE to increase power output prior to the storms in Texas. His request is DENIED by Bidens DOE. DENIED because it didn't follow "green energy" guidelines.
So the big question is: how are Texans going to pay for flying/lying ted next vacation? He needs another rest in some exotic place not Texas.
Someone once said it's a mark of a bad commander that blames those under him.
ABBOT, CURLY, AND MO.. GOT TO GO, NOW! JULIAN CASTRO FOR GOVERNMENT..
This is exactly what happens when voters vote Republicans. They will NEVER ever learn. Texas has a republiKKK governor, Lt governor, and two senators. "You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make them drink."
Deregulation doesn't mean Freedom, it means that taxpayers cover corporate losses.
JULIAN CASTRO FOR TEXAS GOVERNMENT... WORKING WITH THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE..
Can someone confirm when Ted took those pics and when AOC tools hers helping others? Lol
State of Michigan employees working from home aren’t doing their jobs either...Hahahahahahahaha No one to monitor them...🤬
There’s a few people that need to lose their jobs.
Ok in their defense, Wifi in Cancun can be very spoty so maybe it's hard for them to get stuff done if their Zoom call never works :/
Nice photo op. Texans found out that wind power is not reliable and erocot cant manage the transmission onto the grid.
Really? Republican officials sitting on their hands, passing the buck and pocketing their paychecks. Who'd a thunk? 🤠⭐🇺🇸
Agree with what Castro said. Texans will forget and put the same pols back in office. Watch and see.
Republican incompetence is literally killing us
If Texans had been following Federal regulations, they would have weatherized their liquid natural gas facilities, power plants and water treament plants, so that they could withstand the brutal cold. This is an accident they could have seen coming. In fact this accident already happened, in 2011. But they failed to implement the changes in a 300-page after-incident report.
They knew about this since 1989 and still did nothing.
Deregulation is NEVER good for consumers. Either is consolation.
THE MINIMUM WAGE NEEDS TO GO UP WITH INFLATION EVERY YEAR AUTOMATICALLY!
I heard that the Repuglikans in Texas Are Blaming China for those power outages in Texas! They are claiming that China stole all of their electricity, loaded it into shipping containers then Shipped it off to China!
Come on biden... help ! You blasted trump all these yrs and covid is a a record high, freezing, now hurricane , tornadoes, fire season, soon the locusts will be here, then the volcanoes... hurry biden, your our god now
So Texans changed their minds about seceding. What happened? Federal government leave us alone but FEMA help us.
That is a disgrace.
They all Spents the Weekend golfing at mar a lago along with loser Lindsey begging for a win.
With peoole.get 10k+ bills im thinking maybe they purposely started the rolling black outs to make mayor bank and will gey insurance money as well
Elections matter. I have sympathy for the Democrats, but I have little sympathy for the Republicans. They got what they voted for.
Texas peeps reading the comments i know it isnt standard in texas but get a main shutoff in your home as well that you can shut off the water then you just open the tabs and emtey the pipes then also a pipe does burst you dont gotta wait the water company tomshut it down
I did that and only one pipe burst , thank God ,
The Texas electrical grid is a great success!!! Many wonder how can you replicate this great success across America? Yours, Putin
Ha ha hee hee hee 🤭😜😅🤣😂
They are doinf there job for who bought them ... Billionaires and businesses
and others that are not good for my health Ade Munandar
Because I am Ade Munandar, he is upset
Who was president during hurricane Katrina? Andrew?
They don't want my terror Ade Munandar with violence, don't worry about their problem for me, in America, their terror is not violent, the impact is bad, they don't realize it
No electricity for the chair, Texas now executes prisoners with a candle.
😂😂
I’m sure this will convince many Texans to move to California where the biggest obstacle is not stepping in human feces!
I am Ade Munandar in terror that I am not freed for positive things because in my religion they can go to heaven, they don't want me to be heaven, that's their problem with me but they don't realize it
An electricity bill that high should be criminal. I'd be ashamed to send that big a big of a bill to a regular resident. Something seriously needs to be done cause that is not right at all.
You wouldn't hire an anti abortionist to be chairman of planned parenthood, why hire people who don't want government to function properly to be the most powerful people in your government. Then give them legal immunity
