Beto O’Rourke

Beto O’Rourke: How Texas can save America Big media, law firms and the Ivy League are bending the knee. We Texans are fighting back.

If we’re unable to organize politically, freely contest political decisions, peacefully and democratically vie for power, then we no longer live in a democracy. At that point, we’re once again subjects.

That’s why we’re fighting so hard for our rights in TX.

We're fighting fire with fire after Republicans stole five Congressional seats in Texas. Join me in supporting California’s Proposition 50 by pitching in at YesOn50Live.com

Powered By People Powered by People will organize grassroots volunteers to do the tough, necessary work right here in Texas.

This is the second time in a matter of weeks that we've defeated Paxton. The Texas Supreme Court also ruled against him last month.

We beat Paxton again in the 15th Court of Appeals.

Turns out you can’t cancel the First Amendment just because you don’t like what your political opponent is saying.

They're trying to make an example out of us Why we've got to stand and fight when so many others bend the knee

Why the Texas AG is trying to lock me up and what we're doing to fight back and win.

YouTube video by Beto O'Rourke Here's a Positive Vision That Returns Power to the People:

We must offer something that we are voting FOR, a vision about how this country will be better when we stop the bad guys in power and elect Democrats to replace them.

So how about this vision that returns power to the people and delivers big, bold change in America:

“The Texas Supreme Court dismissed Paxton’s motion. Paxton was trying to reverse the ruling from an El Paso court that had issued a restraining order against Paxton”

YouTube video by Beto O'Rourke Trump Got His New Maps. Here's What We Do Now:

We must use the next 15 months to register voters, block walk, knock on doors, get our neighbors out to vote, and meet the people who will decide not only this election but whether we win our country back and set it on a new course.

Let's get to work.

The futility of his political prosecution of Powered by People is now clear as day. And Ken's poll numbers—the whole reason he weaponized the AG's office against us in the first place—are sinking like a rock! I think everyone's looking forward to seeing this corrupt, lying thug deposed under oath.

We've beat Ken Paxton in court twice this week.

We took the fight directly to Ken Paxton, and we won.

YouTube video by Beto O'Rourke Fight on every front, everywhere across this country

We're not going to bend the knee. We're going to stand and fight wherever we have to — from the state house to the court house, from Texas to California. Proud to stand with so many today who are willing to fight for this country at its moment of truth! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RYf...

Thanks to everyone who has joined us in this fight for Texas, we’ve been able to donate over $1 million to the Texas Legislative Black Caucus, the Texas House Democratic Caucus, and the Mexican American Legislative Caucus during the special session.

They will not silence us. Be there on Saturday morning and join us as we fight Trump’s power grab. Bring your friends & spread the word.

Hold strong. The people of Texas and our fellow Americans have your backs.

These guys are in full panic mode.

They’re trying to jail me to silence anyone who has the courage to fight back.

We will not back down. We will not be intimidated.

We will fight these corrupt thugs with everything we’ve got.

We fight everywhere for everyone. Thank you, Abilene.

Trump expects us to bend the knee and let him steal 5 Congressional seats. Our knees don’t bend in Texas.

But I’m not going anywhere.

I plan on speaking at our rally to stop the power grab in Fort Worth tomorrow afternoon.

Now Paxton’s filed a restraining order to try to take us out of the fight. He wants to silence me and stop me from leading this organization. He wants to stop us from fighting Trump’s attempt to steal the five congressional seats he needs to hang on to power.

Paxton is trying to shut down Powered by People, one of the largest voter registration organizations in the country, because our volunteers fight for voting rights and free elections… the kind of work that threatens the hold that Paxton, Trump, and Abbott have on power in Texas.

They want to make examples out of those who fight so that others won't.

At the Howlin Wolf in New Orleans last night.

Apparently Louisiana didn’t get the memo that they don’t matter in national politics. So they’re showing up, organizing and fighting these fascists with all they’ve got.

Louisiana and Texas will have each other’s backs!

Paxton launches investigation into Beto O’Rourke’s political group for funding Democrats who left state The attorney general accused the organization of running a financial influence scheme that convinced Texas Democrats to leave the state.

They don’t like it when you fight back.

When Trump tried to steal 5 congressional seats Texas Dems did what it took to stop him.

So Paxton promised to “hunt them down.”

Now he’s coming after anyone who has the courage to join the fight.

We won’t back down!

Last night in Oklahoma City. This is the last place they’ll expect it from. But it is the front line for the House in 2026.

All of us doing what we can with what we have wherever we are.

Live from North Carolina for a Powered by People Town Hall YouTube video by Beto O'Rourke

Back on Bluesky (to stay), wanted to share what I’m up to.

Held a town hall in Charlotte (see below) earlier in the week. There’s power in people coming together and listening to one another. If you get a chance to watch some of it, let me know what you think. www.youtube.com/live/cRettGN...

When they try to divide us, attack the vulnerable and make us feel hopeless we’ve got to join together, bring the outsiders in and give each other a reason to be hopeful. Denton, Texas.
