There was no scare. It was rumors/propaganded seeded by the GOP that "news" outlets like CNN took as fact.

Was the scare in the Senate, or are House members coming back in with their tails between their legs?

I was just wondering the same thing. Was it Abbott's threat that he would continue to call special sessions, and they would have to stay away until 2028?

Since posting that I didn't see anything. I figured it was probably Abbott ranting and raving some more. He did get a judge to block Beto O'Rourke from funding Texas dems.

If half the people who did not vote in the last two elections, Texas would be so blue that even the west coast would guard in jealousy

The state races could definitely happen someday, but they’ve gerrymandered the shit out of the State House and State Senate maps that they’ll never be able to flip those meaning they’ll never be able to pass legislation to stop the gerrymandering that deletes Democratic voter’s voices.

Outside of gerrymandering, it has a lot more blue than shoes.
