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.

Shame on them for being pussies in the first place
sue them for harassment -- there is NO LAW that requires you to go to work.
They never should have signed them.
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.
Democrats must fight back and get back Texan Republican TRAITOR invasions too!
dems' evil plan is more worrisome: illegals invasion/TURN ALL SWING STATES TO BLUE PERMANENTLY w/ medicare/citizenship for illegals aka reform. it will destroy our democracy, but dems will not say/admit it. w/ 30-40 million illegals, dems will keep pushing their evil plan. youtu.be/9YrqCciWOdU
This is a delusional conspiracy ridden post. Sane people outnumber MAGA scum. The 2024 election was stolen. You think you're safe in this new America; you're a pawn.
readers will decide: dems r trying to destroy america n our democracy w/ illegals invasion/GREED TO TURN ALL SWING STATES TO BLUE PERMANENTLY w/ medicare/citizenship for illegals aka reform. dems wont admit it but that was what illegals invasion is all abt. youtu.be/6HwyTe4Pfmo
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.
we the ppl symphatize w/ illegals bc they r poor victims of dems' evil plan w/c will destroy our democracy: DEMS' GREED TO TURN ALL SWING STATES TO BLUE PERMANENTLY w/ citizenship for illegals aka reform. all reasonable american reject such insanity. we must save our democracy. youtu.be/7UOMKYx0_ZE
What country is this? Fuck Republicans!
Could they be considered to be agreement under duress??
A felon is our president. He is vengeful, destructive and unhinged. He enriches himself while abusing power and people everyday. This is the story.
This is not America it’s a dictatorship When you try to control your political opponents your in a dictatorship
You guys still employ that stain Scott Jennings?
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.
Fox news is an entertainment and propaganda network. Legacy media can fuck off; everyone has bent the knee. Wake the fuck up.
"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.
They are a disgrace for signing them. Zero backbone. This is kidnapping.
RAUCUS CAUCUS
Are there any decent lawyers and judges in Texas? This is kidnapping!! 🤬
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.
This is not normal.
I would be calling the police an report a stalker following me.. as they are being followed around also ... Fight fire with fire .. sue the state for harrassment also ...an the useless arrogant governor...
Once again, black women show us the way.
This would be the biggest story/political scandal ever if we were living in sane times. Imagine the outrage if Democrats did this to republicans anywhere.
Yep, now it just means it's Tuesday.
We're they waiting for the poll numbers to come in? 🤷
Does ripping up an agreement invalidate it? - Asking for a loan document.
ikr 😂
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.
They need to leave again
