Volunteer organizations worked through the night on Feb. 17 to deliver meals, water and generators to Houston residents, many of whom were still stranded in the dark in the midst of a crippling winter storm. Cara Adams, founder of Texas Relief Warriors, said she worries for seniors stuck in high-rise buildings with no way to get out and get supplies. Read more: wapo.st/3brnk4j.

"We need your vote!" After that, you will be on your own.
And the Biden admin does...nothing. Nothing. And more...nothing.
God bless Texas and all the good in America

I be damned Washington post you actually uploaded something worth watching and I stayed till the end godbless those Patriots
So moved !!!
Thanks.
I bet you even money senator Cruz wasn’t one of the volunteers.
@The Prince ... showboating, ring a bell...
@super chicken Uh,excuse me , but 4 different Democrats raised over 5 million combined for help. Maybe you need to stop believing Fox news.
...along with every other politician in Washington...you really think they give a #%$@...?
If I ever get rich, this is what I’d love to do. Helping people that can do nothing for you, is one of the coolest things a person can do, in my opinion
This makes me sad
Thank goodness and brotherhood and sister hood. We are better than what trump has done to our United States of america. Perry, Tillerson trump, cruz.....the oil conglomerates who care just about profits and steal the god given order. Like in the nursing homes.....profit over care and need and upgrade. Shame , we can land perseverance on Mars but deny ; we are the children of god. 11 years ago a commission warned that the infrastructure has to be winterized ......you were just interested in deals with russia and Ukraine . There should be a class suit to thee politicians who rob the grace, it is sacrilegious , in the city of god you are defacing . Your hearts will be weighed.
Insane but is nobody's fault!
Its all bidens fault worst president ever Democrat for life but now ill make a change
😆 cultist
Why are volunteer organizations doing a way better job than your own government, America? Good for these people helping out and going above and beyond. I'm hoping in the future, people learn to prepare though.
I heard a song many moons ago, something like this; America, where are you now, Don't you care about your sons and daughters, Don't you know we need you now, We can't fight this monster by ourselves... *Steppenwolf; Monster/Suicide/ America* (?) easy to google...🇺🇸. just sayin'...
What the hell is the president… He can’t show up and throw around a couple of paper towels
Ted Cruz should be there
If you can down load. What’s App or Walkie Talkie app to send messages
where is biden? where is kamala? they might plan to go to Texas in next week because the freeze season will be already gone
Do they need someone to throw paper towels at them?
I doubt Texans really want to see Biden or Harris! Ya'll probably just want that federal assistance to bail out another Republican mess! Hit up your state politicians when you get your new energy billing!
check out President Biden's declaration of an emergency sending FEMA and DHS to help coordinate relief efforts. However I think you all need to call trump if you want paper towels.
I don’t t think Biden will step foot in Texas the entire 4 years
You guys haven’t ask for government help and never really want government help but it’s still coming 🙏my heart goes out to all of you from the cold land of Minnesota
Sergeant Robert justin alford green at nellis AFB and renato Santiago Nelson where is naomi petteway my granddaughter.......
To all main stream media and their PUPPETS...F.O.A.D....
😆 nutcase
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

God bless all the volunteers and the people in need.

Cuomo thought he could get away with killing thousands of defenseless elderly people because the Washington Post would cover it up for him
@Roger Out I’m saying that Cuomo’s numbers should not have been that high. Cuomo’s numbers were the highest in the country & Trump sent him a hospital boat for the Covid patients. The complete incompetence of Cuomo, for which he will probably be re-called by Democrats, resulted in numbers so high, there was no reasonable explanation for it. Turns out, Cuomo killed THOUSANDS more than the unbelievably high numbers he reported. Trump was right that Cuomo was lying!
@Emily C so you're saying trump was lying about the deaths to make himself look better to his base.
@Roger Out Trump was right about Cuomo lying about the numbers!
@Roger Out This question? Are you repeating the idea that Trump said Cuomo was inflating the numbers? I answered that: You are right. Trump had no idea that Cuomo was lying about how many defenseless elderly people were killed by Cuomo’s policy.
@Emily C Can you even read? Why do you keep avoiding the question?
President Trump was right. Wind Turbines are unreliable.
So, can you explain why that have them in Antarctica then? "I love the poorly educated".
Wonderful! Doing a better job than our so called leaders.
Super spreaders are spreading
Ted Cruz gives giant middle finger to Texas.
“All we can do is move forward and help people..” God bless this woman’s heart and all the volunteers ❤️
Ted Cruz gives giant middle finger to Texas
"AOC doubled her fundraising total for Texas storm victims to $4 million, as she joined fellow lawmakers in Houston to continue relief efforts." Insider
Tomorrow Ted will go to church and make sure the media coverage is there.
You are, each and every one of you, ANGELS. Blessings and Love being sent to you. Thank you for your service.🙏💜🌷🏔️
Thank you for your service to your community. How does someone get involved in their organization do they have a website
Contrast the way Democrats and Republicans try to score political points in the wake of this disaster: Governor Abbott initially blames wind turbines and AOC's Green New Deal before being called out, and then blaming ERCOT. AOC raises more than $2million in 24 hours for relief efforts for a state she doesn't even represent. Abbott is going for an easy lay-up while AOC just scored a touchdown. Someone just scored more points, they're playing different games, and they're not even in the same league. Thank you, volunteers!
America shouldn't accept "there are people worse then we are" we shouldn't try to be better then other we should try to be good.
Make us tear! Warm up human hearts! Just wander why not the Federal sent some help and rescue????? Did they seeband hear any thing? Where is the Government???? Tired after all the election events????
AOC raises money for Texan's, Beto organizes food drives to feed his state's hungry while Ted Cruz escapes to Mexico. What is wrong with this picture? Maybe the Dems are as bad as right-wing media make them out to be.
@B P haha I definitely like this one...well done...the field is yours.
@Jack Pudding The one thing I have learned in the last 4 years is that HATRED can't be spelled with out a red hat.
They are worse
Biden what cha gonna do to help? Thank you volunteer's.💕💕
@Donna G Palk oh but the people of Texas elected him to speak on their behalf how many times? Like a decade and a half? Then they wanted him to be president? What was the name of his ranch before they changed it again?
@Roger Out Rick said it not the ones freezing..
@Donna G Palk Then why did Rick Perry say that Texans would rather freeze than get federal help?
@Donna G Palk agreed it could have been sooner. AOC(Dem) has been able to raise $3 million so far, Beto (lost to Ted) is helping with wellness checks for the elderly. Ted is now back in the country now that he "dropped off the kids" so I am sure he will doing the same thing to help out...
@Merritt N They needed help days ago...
DEMOCRATS, REPUBLICANS AND MEDIA HAVE WEAKENED U.S. DEMOCRACY. People are starving, dying for lack of health care, homelessnes. And our government and our government failed to help the American people 🤔
Agree but bide*n is the president and he has been conspicuously absent.and never sent aid to these Texans. ..and Americans in Texas have come together to help and feed each other.. So there is one person that is more responsible that is in the position to render aid..and That woman is amazing.
I can't believe that the national guard couldn't deliver food and water and or evacuate people to other places.
@Renee Thomas You’re the Karen.
@Renee Thomas Too bad that the federal government can deputized the National Guard, then therefore, they become federal military officers. Trump tried to in 2017 to enforce his illegal immigration act, but was denied by Homeland Security citing it was illegal to use it in that case. Not everyone you disagree with is a Karen. Have a nice cup of copium and calm down.
@Lisette bye ignorant Karen 😲any one with brains no that the Gov of the state is the only one who can call up the states national Guard 🤔this is on the Governor Abbot of Texas
Too busy guarding Pelosi and company.
Where is Biden???
@[CleverUsername] Texas is amongst the states that send the most tax dollars to Washington. If Biden refuses to act, then Texas should stop sending tax dollars.
@sean stoner Biden's only problem is figuring out where he is
I thought you people dont want government handouts.
Lol where is ted Cruz his the mayor Biden has bigger problems than Texas
Helping is awesome but people need to be more self reliant and prepared.
@[CleverUsername] agreed👍
And how is the elderly person on the 6th floor supposed to be self reliant exactly? Or the family with 3 kids. Its their fault they dont have a month of food and water stores away in their 2 bedroom apartment? No but i really like your sense of unity while your sitting at home watching UZload. Real patriotic, blame the victim.
21st century Texas 🙄
Texans should have gone to Cancun.
beats being here in the cold. Why not?
So while Cruz was in Cancun, and fox, the governor of Texas, McCarthy, and other republicans were busy trying to blame AOC for the crisis in Texas, she was actually busy being productive, being a leader, and being a public servant of the people. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) helped raise more than $2 million in less than 24 hours to help bring relief to the state of Texas. On Thursday evening, Ocasio-Cortez announced she was partnering with several Texas charities and encouraged her millions of Twitter followers to donate money to help residents in Texas. "Team AOC is launching relief efforts for Texas starting today,” the New York Democrat tweeted Thursday evening. “Our first effort is a partnership w/5 Texas orgs getting on-the-ground relief to Texans ASAP. If you’re able, please donate here - it’ll split your contribution to all 5.” By Thursday night, more than $1 million had been raised, and by Friday morning, the charities raked in more than $2 million. The funds are being split between The Bridge Homeless Recovery Center, Ending Community Homeless Coalition, Family Eldercare, Houston Food Bank, Feeding Texas and several other charities.
Stop auto pays!!
Why isn't the National Guard delivering water, food? Why is it left up to the volunteers? A lot of things are wrong with this situation.
Thank you, volunteers!
