TEXAS SHOWDOWN: Dems abscond to ’Cago

Lawmakers' absence means lower chamber won't have enough members present to function

Stalling costs $500 a day.

Will the stock-market plunge on Monday morning?

I'm so depressed. I'm in one of the districts that will be given to Republicans. I don't know what to do.

This is when the melding of the MAGA-minds will be put to the test — especially if the stock market crashes.

Rogan...

Dr. Phil...

Elon...

Alex Jones...

They will eventually return and the redistricting will go through, starting a redistricting orgy across the country.

abbott sounds desperate.... threatening criminal action to anyone who contributes to the dems

Many absentee Democrats are soliciting funds to evade the fines they will incur under House rules.

Any Democrat who “solicits, accepts, or agrees to accept” such funds to assist in the violation of legislative duties or for purposes of skipping a vote may have violated bribery laws.

See TEX. PENAL CODE § 36.02.

The same could be true for any other person who “offers, confers, or agrees to confer” such funds to fleeing Democrat House members.

I will use my full extradition authority to demand the return to Texas of any potential out-of-state felons.

I don’t think it’s worth them vacating their seats, if that’s what they intend to do. The governor can then appoint their replacement. It would be better for them to show up for the legislative session.

Somebody needs to set Abbott’s wheelchair ablaze.

The Republicans in congress have done this before to great effect. Turnabout is fair play.

I agree - force the GOP to pass anti-gerrymandering laws
