Ted Cruz is fighting for Americans, Texans, and desperate people during disasters like he did his wife and father when Trump was talking 💩 about them. Running to Cancun again? It’s not snow, ice, and freezing weather this time!

Infuriating. It's beyond evident they want government disaster relief funds to go to billionaires while grandma has to do a go fund me to replace her entire life after a flood like this. This is them wiping their hands of any and all accountability.

So why is Texas still voting Ted Cruz into office. Ted Cruz is killing people off by creating legislation that enforces critical disasterous events to happen at the expense of Texas lives. He treats them as LIVESTOCK and not people. So why would you vote for somebody that treats you this way.

But he was more than happy to insert a clause that made sure Texas (and his billionaire buddies) got a fat $85,000,000.00 contract to move a space shuttle to Texas and build a oversized gold plated cathedral to house it.

Listening to Trump commenting (yesterday?) that maybe we should have an alert system of some kind. Yeah, maybe it could be nationwide for various different weather crises. Staffed with people who will work with local officials. I wonder what we could call this?

Has Ted Cruz ever done anything good? Seriously. All I've ever heard was ridiculous f**ked up stuff that the citizens that he "represents" should be outraged over. Texan voters have got to be the most "Let's keep shooting ourselves in the foot over and over again" bunch of folks I've ever seen.

When will you people in Texas learning they don’t give a rats ass about you all. Apparently they don’t care about the kids. Such a failure of leadership.🤷‍♀️😡🤬

Cancun Ted is at it again. Maybe Abbott can make up the difference from that so called $34(ish) Billion slush fund/discretionary/rainy day fund, he said Texas has. Q is why didn't they use the money to fix the electrical grid that caused so many to freeze or be suffocated by intense heat when it

went down again. Why didn't they update the weather alert system for their state? What were they planning to do with that $$? Build another internment camp? Texas officials did more than "drop the ball", this borders on criminal negligence. On all levels from the governor to the mayor of the town.

A reminder that Republicans did this with Benghazi funding where they made Hillary the culprit of their own actions. We need to start hammering how Republicans create a dysfunctional government then blame others to stay in power.

I don’t believe it. Just doesn’t sound like it’s in his best interest to do that. How will he know when to book a trip to somewhere exotic if he doesn’t know when the bad weather is coming to Texas? I hope he catches his flight. Not the one back though.

Ted does not believe in climate change. He also does not care if his state gets hit by crazy weather, like ice storms, floods, hurricanes. It's God's will. His excuse not to fund FEMA and social services to people. His people!

Sad that Texas is the "winner" in bad weather conditions, Ted!! You might want to confess that you are a loser....and your constituents lost their lives and the lives of their babies, their grandparents, parents and friends in this climate change travesty!!

A "la la la la I'm not listening" clause. Similar language here in the UK, with the establishment putting their weight behind the Reform party. After 4 years more of Trump, the next election here might make people see sense, but I'm not hopeful - a case of slugs voting for salt

born in canada to a cuban father, he then attended princeton and harvard, worked exactly two years in private practice…over 25 years now either working for other politicians or being a politician himself. he complains about and votes against everything he is and has done. the ULTIMATE hypocrite.

A crisis a day is how they operate. Every single day it’s something new and it takes our minds off of the disaster of the day, week, month and years prior. I’ll assume we will never see the really big comet before impact as we will have no funded early detection system in place.

Let us not pretend this is solely on Cruz, as much as he is detestable. EVERY GOP member in Congress voted for this bill & are all culpable! Every single GOP member voted to enrich the rich, destroy the poor, attack immigrants, and deny health coverage to the needy! Replace ALL GOP in Congress!
