The Texas House authorized the warrants for dozens of Democratic lawmakers who didn’t appear and denied the Texas House a quorum necessary to move forward with redistricting. The warrants empowered state troopers to arrest the absent Democrats and bring them to the Capitol.

Them saying these states are doing favors & not following the law is so misleading & stupid. If no laws were broken, they DO NOT have to do anything or turn anyone in because NO LAWS ARE BROKEN. The extinction burst to Republicans behaviors are going to be wild if we can get that far.

Democrats are avoiding participation and refusing to help Abbott and Trump to 💩 on Texans' civil rights and to steal 5 seats without the people of TEXAS approval through their vote! Fight on Democrats for the TEXANS who don't eat Trump's 💩.

It should be reported that the Democrats that left the state are also leaving bill paying jobs and are now subject to huge fines. While the "Special Session" might get suspended, Abbot can reinstate at any time. Meanwhile, other states (Blue states) are planning their own gerrymandering in response.

Trump should pay attention to his own country that walks further and further away from democracy and let Brazil handle it's own issues.

Dems did the right thing. Why step foot in a state that houses a convicted sex abuser, pedophile & creep, aka ms maxwll who stole the innocence & lives of young girls, even those trump proclaimed were "stolen" from him!!! BTW, did trump "own" those teen massage workers for his own pleasure?

If those troopers attempt to go into an adult state to arrest these people for unconstitutional reasons the adult states should order those troopers to be arrested themselves and then just fucking disappeared

There should be a law saying that only convex shapes are allowed as districts, with the exception of those imposed by the borders of a higher level of organization, such as state lines.

Could someone ask Abbott why it’s ok to recess early to protect pedophiles but not ok for unconstitutional redistricting for elections to circumvent the voting rights act? What a stand up guy.
