Texas House was once again without a quorum today. Texas Dems have blocked passage of Trump's power grab for a second day in a row

Re-gerrymandering a state to rig an election & then threatening to arrest and expel the members protesting that election rigging is pure authoritarianism

Texas Dems who fled state are fighting for very survival of American democracy www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Fleeing Texas was the only way Democrats could block Trump’s plan to rig the midterms

“The Republican members have outsourced our democracy to Mar-a-Lago”

Every damn day they block this is a win. Fighting back matters.

What do you say we just kick Texas out of the Union? It's apparent they don't want a part of our governmental system.

How many days until the end of the special session and they have to call another one?

The blue states must respond with their own gerrymandering taking away MAGA seats. MAGA is the fascist power. Go Democrats fight

Just wondering - if they come back and Abbott has them arrested then there still won’t be a quorum - right?

Frankly, I'm surprised they don't just vote and say fuck the quorum requirement.
