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. www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outl...

🎥VIDEO: Former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke sat down with Marc Elias on Defending Democracy to discuss how Republicans are trying to steal the midterm elections, and what he’s doing to stop them. Don’t miss out — watch our latest episode below ⬇️

Ken Paxton’s lawsuit against Beto O’Rourke is crumbling as a Republican appeals court ruled his fundraising ban unconstitutional. Judges blasted Paxton’s case as prior restraint on free speech, exposing his abuse of office for partisan gain.

“If we win…there will be a check on Trump’s lawlessness, accountability for his corruption and crimes, and the very real possibility of free and fair elections in 2028.” —Beto O’Rourke with Marc Elias on the Yes on Prop 50 livestream

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

“This is the second time in a matter of weeks that the Fifteenth Court of Appeals has ruled against Paxton…The Texas Supreme Court also ruled against Paxton in this same case last month.” @betoorourke.bsky.social

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.

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.  Make a donation to support our work at PoweredxPeople.org

“This is weaponizing the political system to persecute your political enemies.” “[Ken Paxton] asked his office to conduct an investigation, at the same time conceding that he did not have evidence of anything amiss.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...

Every word of this exchange between this citizen in Nebraska and Beto is *crucial* Please listen all the way through!

This is our new sign for today, September 1st. BE BRAVE - DEFEND DEMOCRACY Go Beto! We have your back. See all of you on the street today.

"If Paxton’s requests are granted in full, I will be locked up in the Tarrant County jail before long." "You might wonder what laws I’ve broken to incur the full legal wrath of the State of Texas." "Me too"

Texas AG Partizan Attack On Beto Ken Paxton threatens to arrest Beto O'Rourke for fighting the illegal gerrymander of five congressional seats. Speech is no longer Free in Texas! open.substack.com/pub/betoorou...

Beto is the target but the real fight is over whether votes still matter.

“Do not give in. Do not give up. Do not submit, do not bend the knee. Fight until we win and then keep fighting so that Texas and this country never face this kind of authoritarianism again.” -Beto O’Rourke

No one is doing more in Texas than @betoorourke and that’s exactly why Paxton is targeting him, but it’s important to know it’s not just him they’re reallly after with all of this—it’s voters. Losing the infrastructure that Beto has built would have devastating consequences to Democrats in Texas

Lol just found this in my travel carry-on

Why the Texas AG is trying to lock me up and what we're doing to fight back and win. open.substack.com/pub/betoorou...

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 BETO O'ROURKE AUG 30 open.substack.com/pub/betoorou...

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: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wisr...

“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”

Come on now Raffi. When I think of an out of control liberal court I think of.. *checks notes. Frowns.* The Texas Supreme court???

Trump Got His New Maps. Here's What We Do Now: Beto O'Rourke youtu.be/G_abJh9KZq0

People love to criticize Beto, but the fact that Paxton and the other Texas MAGAs are going after him so hard tells you something. #Beto

Sounds like someone’s afraid of Beto

Paxton announced he filed for emergency relief earlier today, accusing the 15th Court of Appeals of making a "flawed" and "political" decision. Worth noting: All judges on the Texas Supreme Court and the 15th Court of Appeals are conservative.

BREAKING: The Texas Supreme Court has denied AG Ken Paxton's petition to reverse the 15th COA's decision in his case against @betoorourke.bsky.social over quorum break funding. The 15th COA had put the brakes on discovery & delayed a hearing in the case against O'Rourke. #txlege

If you don’t speak lawyer, the second one is the Texas Supreme Court saying:

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

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.

“Who are they building these cells for?” —Beto O’Rourke

I’m with Beto!!!
