Several Texas state House Democrats plan to rip up the written agreements that allowed them to leave the chamber with a police escort on Monday and return to the House floor Tuesday night, the caucus announced.

Why were they forced to sign to begin with? This is not normal. This is a dictatorship. Only in a dictatorship do you hear of this shit going on. Mid Terms people. Remember the midterms matter.

This only proves Democrats have been working toward bipartisan immigration reform. Instead of fixing the problem, MAGA weaponizes it, riling up the sheeple by targeting Democrats, immigrants, and anyone who won’t fall in line with their ideology.

Yes. CNN is an entertainment network. The show is like "The Five." Nothing on CNN is factual information since it's known an an entertainment network.

"Allowed them to leave the chamber..." The phrasing there is giving cover to the fact that Republicans were basically extorting those signatures under threat of unlawful detainment, i.e. kidnapping. Texas Republicans then went ahead and kidnapped the one Democrat who didn't sign.

Does this mean they are effectively incarcerated? I am not American, and I find things American sometimes quite confusing. But I can't grok how an elected official is locked up in a building. What if there is an emergency? Eg would fire dept need a 'permission slip' to evacuate?

If they get locked in the building like one Democrat already was, Republicans will be unlawfully detaining them. They have broken no laws by which they could be legally incarcerated. I.e., Republicans will have kidnapped additional Democratic lawmakers, along with the one they already kidnapped.

Texas Dems ripping up those agreements is the right move—why play by GOP rules when they’re rigged to crush democracy? Sometimes the only way to defend voters is to stop legitimizing the sham process altogether.
