Hoping and praying for the people without heat and water!!!🙏

[gilelvgren]

Thank you and your staff and the entire MSNBC family, we thank you for your service! I cant think of anything more important then your service, that we have the honor to have in this country!

I lived in Texas and their design philosophy is do the absolute minimum. No contingency plans for disaster. Water pipes go directly into the ground, no protection. Every home would have to be repaired. Electrical systems are the same. The mind set is like you said. They do not want to change. So, good luck to everyone living there. If that is what they want then so be it.

Rachael you are soooo smart and dedicated to you profession, I like to watch your news, because you always do your home work to report the incidents from different angle, help viewers gain much better insight, thank you !😊👏💕

Experts: "You should take precautions to safeguard your energy grid."

Texas: "DON'T TELL US WHAT TO DO!"

[dr.rudyswango]

It’s the same southern mentality that’s left over from the civil war era that basically says, “you can’t tell me what to do’.

[BLACKWOLF-]

Will Texans ever learn that having ted Cruz or any Republican as senator in dangerous! (TO YOUR HEALTH).

[NoHandle]

Will Texans finally realize that having a power grid that isn't regulated by anyone is actually a BAD thing?

[roxannhanrahan]

They need to be liable, regulated, and disciplined.

[lindaj]

So if the power companies were warned and advised repeatedly, yet failed to “winter proof” their infrastructure, will there be class action suits for manslaughter against the CEOs? And claims for compensation from businesses & householders?

[jonerickson]

I feel for you folks but you need to wake up and realize who’s running the show Republicans for themselves

[rgwak]

News: "Millions of Texans are without power, heat, water and food."
Tex Cruz: "I'll have another margarita."
Texans: 🥶 🤬

[dawnadriana]

Keep on electing those Republicans, Texas. Or you can wise up. Your choice.

[sandraleishman]

How ridiculous!! I hope everyone stays safe. My heart goes out to them.

[heyheytaytay]

This is so much better than the 1-3 minute clips we're usually stuck with...

[Smooshes]

If they didn’t want to participate in federal programs they should be prepared to care for themselves, right? 🙄

[michaelschweigart]

So, it wasn't the windmills or fossil fuels?🤔

[claudialunden]

I hope we send Texas an invoice for our federal aid for their failure to act responsibly.

[kayeorndoff]

Might be Texas should regulate the energy grid instead of women’s health care. js

[dasmon]

The republican leadership had 10 years to get it right enough said
