Well, that’s an illegal waste of taxpayer money and law enforcement resources. It’s also a sign that their election rigging coup project is more important than their ethnic cleansing project.
Flag: Republican John Cornyn says the FBI has agreed to his request to help track down the Texas state Democrats who left the state to block a severely gerrymandered congressional map.
Is it his plan to send in the HRT to get them? Absurd
Y’all, I’m getting nervous. It feels like the white walkers breached the wall.
I need to take a break.
No. They just know that if they don’t cheat well enough, they will be voted out of power, and their ethnic cleansing (and subsequent economic destruction) will be shut down.
Cornyn is trying to outcrazy Paxton in hopes of keeping his job
Texas lawmakers have committed no federal crimes. In fact they have committed no crimes at all.
Has a Federal law been broken? None of the FBI's business.
Now do the Republican house that fled over the Epstein files
You can’t ethnic cleanse if you don’t have the power.
Kind of thinking that just because someone "says" something doesn't make it true.
Citizens will have to hide them in their homes 👍
The ethnic cleansing is a sub-part of their election rigging project.
Since when is it a crime to cross state lines?
SHAMEFUL
Repubs. Vote against this monster and his nazi party! Your party!
What federal charges have been filed against the Texas Representatives?
All of this👆
See, we keep saying 'they can't do that' when what we should say is 'they can't LEGALLY do that' because that is an important distinction to make with this admin
Yes, the election rigging coup was very important to Tx. GOP Reps. as evidenced by totally ignoring public input on the hearings around the state that they scheduled. 99% of people testifying said "no redistricting mid-decade", and the GOP went full speed ahead anyway. The maps are horrible!
One feeds the other.
Track down and do what exactly?
Are Austin democrats too busy drinking Kale juice to get up and do something?
Of course the FBI are going to do it. It’s Kash’s FBI.
I had to reread your post a couple times to make sure I’m still on the dumbest and most fucking malicious timeline and yep….looks like it 🫠😭
Nah, they're hiring the Dean Cain's of the world to run their ethnic cleansing project.
“Election rigging is a prerequisite to unfettered ethnic cleansing, and essential to acceleration of privatization of the concentration camp economy.”
Imagine that this mofo was a judge.
Trump sends in federal troops for the sole purpose of comandeering the state of Illionois This country is now dead. Kevin Roberts, the president of The Heritage Foundation and a leader of Project 2025, suggested that the "second American Revolution" could be bloodless "if the left allows it to be."
𝑫𝒊𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒆𝒍𝒔𝒆??
On a daily basis, I'm more and more convinced that there won't be midterm elections.
Lose elections, lose power, get impeached, removed from office, face criminal charges, go to prison.
That's higher priority that deporting brown people. Besides, he has concentration camps for storing brown people until the rigged elections are over.
So, election rigging is much higher priority.
The one enables the other.
The first guarantees them the second.
Since when are senators tasking the FBI to do anything?
Track them down? They knew what hotel they were staying at to call in a bomb threat.
We're well beyond an illegal use of taxpayers money
Cornyn a republican who “votes with tRump 99% of time”
Are so he say in his campaign ads!
So he believes in cheating in elections
He believes molesting children is OK
He believes stealing from veterans OK
And pissing on Constitution is his job!
Anyone believes in trump is as evil & criminal
...
Don't they know exactly where they are? Literally hiding in plain sight.
And what authority do they have to do a goddamn thing once they find them?
What a pathetic shitshow.
Is he not using the ‘runaway’ descriptor? From slave days? Shocking.
No crime was committed. So the fbi has no authority other than a wellness check. If they take them into custody, Illinois state police should arrest them for kidnapping or attempted kidnapping. I think these democrats should take a speaking tour of Canada, talking about fascism in America.
He's gaslighting
If the Trumpanzee Department of Injustice does nothing, what does it matter?
FBI does house calls now? If they should (they did) accept this mission, what is the language of the mass arrest of fugitive Dems?
Is a judge sanctioned warrant required? Why aren’t they involved in the bomb scare investigation as well.
FBI under the aegis of DoJ’s Bondi. FBI ordered or asked?
Be funny if the FBI can’t locate them
How does this not end in violence?
How many good FBI agents are going to resign over this?
Are they going to put pictures of them up in the post offices? The bath of milk cartons? Feature them on AMERICA'S MOST WANTED?
Groovy, are they going to arrest the house republicans who went home early because they didn’t want to #releasetheepsteinfiles
Also it’s illegal for the FBI to be used to enforce a state based rule that may not even be considered a law.
So what is the FBI doing? The FBI also lacks jurisdiction.
I wouldn't believe a thing Cornyn said if you paid me to. Even if the F.B.I. found someone what could they do anyway besides playing a couple of hands of poker.
If Texas Dems are not breaking laws, can a lawsuit be brought to restrain the fbi from providing private information about these citizens, which may endanger them?
And that is the vile republicant party - they guard pedophiles too
Anyone have a legitimate link to donations for the Texas Dems? Please?
We are truly finding out the holes in a democracy. If the rule of law is not respected there’s no way to enforce it.
You can't have one without the other.
If the elections aren't rigged in one of the most corrupt states, they lose some of their power.
I haven't seen much of any one post that Indiana is getting a cage concentration camp, too
They own the news outlets and youre still listening to them over people
Are we about to see Texas state Democrats handcuffed and held at gunpoint to vote on these maps? This would make even the worst authoritarian blush.
The party that cries foul about one party or president weoponizing law enforcement is doing exactly that to push their agendas. They know they are fucked when the midterms come and are doing everything they can to rig the game.
Exactly why Trump put his loyalist as the head of the FBI. Nobody gonna wrong the weakest, saddest, most fragile man known as Trump.
No surprise because of Patel.
I hope the Governors in New York and Illinois are prepared to put the state police between the Feds and the Texas Lawmakers. Otherwise, it will be another capitulation and compound the problem of Democrats looking weak. When they did this I hoped they thought this completely through.
If the FBI actually gets involved, we're all cooked folks. Fascism is here NOW. It isn't what happens if we lose the midterms. IT IS HERE NOW.
They need to stay in power to ensure they can continue the ethnic cleansing. Deplorable.
Our current government is a corrupt bunch of thieves. They never follow the rules that everyone else has to follow, ridiculous. The chicken shit ass kissing of tRUMP is so pathetic.
What a challenge for our ace FBI agents ! Where could the dems be ?? Are they hiding ? I don't know if they can be found !
It never ends with these people.
Monstrous.
Bingo. Dems won’t but but Dems need to step the fuck up and gerymander asap.
2paragraphs.com/2025/08/texa...
Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced on Tuesday that he "took emergency action to begin the removal from office of derelict Democrat Texas House members who refuse to show up for the speci
There is no deadline for ethnic cleansing; it's a multi-year project. Elections are set, for now*, on specific dates, hence the re-prioritization of election-rigging over mass deportation.
*Elections may be dispensed with in the future or replaced with ad hoc plebiscites.
From ethnic cleansing to ethic cleansing.
Cornyn is trying to look tough as he trails Paxton in his re-election campaign.
Wow so fkd up
If anyone has any doubt they aren't going to try and fake an election result, they're not watching this group.
Wow
So Patel has already turned the FBI into the GOPstapo?
Just like he said he wouldn't.
This coming from the same "States Rights!" folks.
You mean Trump’s FBI.
Misuse of taxpayer funds and law enforcement for political ends erodes trust in public institutions and undermines democracy, no matter the underlying motive.
And every one of them should tell the agent to fuck off if they so much as speak to the lawmakers. They’ve committed no crime.
The FBI has zero jurisdiction to do this. Patel is entering the FAFO stage!
-Provide national security against foreign enemies -Find abducted children -Fight cybercrime -Conduct forensic studies to catch murderers
Or
Search for Dems that just want a fair election. Redistricting should happen until 2030 mmkay
No protection, no representation.
Did we need the FBI to track down people who regularly give press conferences and aren’t in hiding?
www.politico.com/magazine/sto...
The Grand Old Party is getting old.
The GOP knows that without TX, they cannot win another national election. It's the base of their electoral college vote. Hispanics are outpacing whites in TX since 2019. www.texastribune.org/2019/06/20/t...
New census estimates show Texas' Hispanic population growth continues to surpass white population growth, with Hispanics on pace to soon represent a plurality.
Corn hole Cornyn has always been a shitbag
The election rigging coup ALLOWS further ethnic cleansing.
baby steps
Well it’s good that’s it pushing the fascism further and further out in the open. Hopefully Texans are pissed.
Illegal is their siren call. They eat it up and grin.
Someone’s nervous about his upcoming primary.
The TX Dems are literally in my backyard. Let them try it … don’t fuck with Chicago!
Waste of time and effort. Not the best use of resources. Sad
Need one to achieve the other
The ethnic cleansing is directly related to Trump’s new push for another census count after he cut the 2020 count short because he was denied his demand to not count immigrants and the extreme gerrymandering for house seats. NY & Cali immigrants sent to red states to count towards senate seats.
Most corrupt unconstitutional government I have ever witnessed in my lifetime.
Well why didnt they track down Ted Cruz for leaving Texas to go to Cancun during a climate disaster! And Greece during Floods!???
There's no federal crime here, so the goal would be to, what, feed info to motivated goon squads to bring the reps back like Batman did with that Chinese accountant in "The Dark Knight"?
Otherwise they could have just asked ICE to do it
They need something to do now that they're finished redacting the Epstein files.
The FBI has no jurisdiction in state matters. This is Trump radicalizing federal authority and using illegal force on legislators. If our sorry-ass congress doesn't get off its ass and run some interference for the people, we will be in big trouble. The ends do not justify the means.
Why not both? With nothing to stop them, they can rig elections and kidnap people at the same time
Don't we know where they are because we saw them on television?
Maybe they should be going after traffickers or fentanyl dealers or illegal guns coming into our country? Maybe we could find a better use of the FBI! #FBIUse
Hmmmm I thought fugitives were the business of the US Marshals. Was Ka$h more compliant?
What is the legal basis for the FBI to get involved? What will the charges be?
… and who is going to stop them? No one. So they’ll continue to do these things.
When Dems regain control we need a serious going-over of the conduct of career DOJ/LEO etc during this dark time.
It’s one thing for Braundi & Noem & crosseyed Kashy to be “yes men” but the career agents carrying out illegal or unethical actions should be called before The Man to answer wtf is up
Well, they can’t do one without the other… 🙇♀️
WOW is the FBI know the new American Shutzstaffel ? 🤔
They're going to arrest them for...not going to work?
That's where we're at, it's illegal not to show up for work. So slavery then. The FBI is out catch slaves for Texas and return them.
I think this is more to appease MAGA. We know this. I guess Cornyn thinks they probably don't.
Their Epstein attention diversion is the most important, so this is another tool.
What is the crime they are being hunted down for? Cornyn is such an asshat! #RESIST
Gas and Oil Party nothing more than a loosely organized crime syndicate. You never let the criminals get their hands on badges.
They need to rig the election to continue the ethnic cleanse “legitimately.”
What about the Republicans who went on vacation rather than vote on the Epstein files being released?
Pointless too. The Texas Democrats aren't exactly in hiding. 🤷🏼♀️
Guess they can track them down, although everyone knows where they are, the governor will not allow them to be taken anywhere.
But isn't breaking quorum actually legal in Texas? Didn't their supreme court uphold it from the last time this happened?
Hopefully they have protection around them because I can see Trump's gestapo trying to snatch and kidnap the Democrats.
He’ll, if they just texted and asked, they’d probably tell you where they are. But this is much more visually authoritarian, so that’s probably the point. Remember, they’ve broken absolutely no law.
So TX citizens can’t leave their state? Ever? Or is there a law TX citizens need permission to freely travel? Constant bullshit from the republicans running that state and those who continuously vote for them every single time.
📌
Illegal. Period.
The election rigging is so they can do more ethnic cleansing!
They’re both closely related.
DOJ = weaponized FBI = weaponized DOD = weaponized DOT = weaponized DHS = weaponized DHHS = weaponized Media = weaponized
Those pesky Democrats…
The projects are intertwined.
Well, they've got 1000 agents that have been freed up from other important task work.
GESTAPO
Republicans are getting caught up in their own chaos. No "illegal immigrants" (or wasn't it supposed to be murderers and rapists?) will be caught while the FBI runs after law-abiding politicians exercising their fundamental rights. The Democrats and all of us can fuel this downward spiral.
Every day is just new low
any agent following those orders is a traitor
they are supporting/helping fascism
I don't understand something here. What's the FBI going to do exactly? We have heard from the Blue state governors that the TX Dems are there, even getting bomb threats there. Can the FBI take into custody (sounds illegal) because not much for them to do if only 'tracking them down'?
They go hand in hand. Can’t keep doing ethnic cleaning unless you control Congress.
I wonder why the FBI didn't offer to do this when the Republicans did it in Oregon?
One before the other. Cement permanent power then the goose stepping (literally) really begins.
Ok - Talarico should put himself out there to be arrested first. And it should be filmed. When video of an evangelical white male minister being arrested for this nonsense gets out there, I'm totally there for the blowback.
I think they are in firm control . Democrats are too weak to save us. It will take general strikes and mass protests.
58220 died for nothing.
Where they are is not really a secret…but kindly provide pc for an arrest and extradition!! They can’t…because there is 0.0 pc and there’s been 0.0 crime committed!!
Track them down?
How the hell is this legal. The FBI has no jurisdiction
Uh, how would state's rights factor in? Or they just going with 'fuck um'? You know, like normal.
They know they will lose… time to cheat!
And certainly more important to the MAGAs than getting relief funds to flood victims.
These MAGAs are irredeemable.
It's ILLEGALLY GERRYMANDERED MAP, KYLE. Get it right.
The Department of Injustice had to sign off on this. So much for the Rule of Law. So much for your civil rights. That Department doesn’t exist.
FBI can do nothing. No crime was committed.
Is Cornyn asking the FBI to break the law?
Will they do it?
It also shows us the FBI is now owned and operated by the trump regime.
Malcolm Nance said on Stephanie's show that they should ditch their phones so they can't be tracked that way - not rent cars/have people drive them.
I'm surprised the FBI can spare the manpower with so many of them redacting Trump's name from the Epstein Files.
The federalization of gerrymandering and election fraud has been a GOP/MAGA project for a generation. There really is only one solution when one is in an abusive relationship: Leave.
Can’t wait till all these clowns are impeached, midterms can’t come fast enough
If they can rig the election, then they can get lots more time for, and have lots more resources diverted to, their cleansing program over their tenure!
So, they are working on the long-term plan to achieve the long-term goal; but not totally abandoning the short-term project either!
These republicans are despicable And they let go the jan 6 rioters who tried to overthrow our democracy
Can't jail browns if you're in jail.
Why would this be accepted as a function of the FBI?
And more important than sex trafficking children
He’s a fucking ass-faced liar from texass who is all hat and no cattle.
I think the two are one and the same.
Once caught then what happens? The image of lawmakers being brought in to the capital in handcuffs and stood guard over during the votes? How will that play even in red TX ?
Just gave Cornyn a piece of my mind for this stunt. Not that he’ll care one iota.
I'm pretty sure Kash Patel's FBI bigger priority should be of the bomb threat that was made against the Dems for utilizing their Constitutionally protected right to break quorum. But I'm guessing that slipped their minds...
They can’t do one without the other.
Ethnic cleansing can wait, they need to guarantee ongoing power now!
It's also a reminder that John Cornyn is, in fact, unfathomably stupid.
Next stop Canada? This has shades of the Fugitive Slave Law.
like they're only going to choose one or the other?
Hide them better.
The FBI is still bleaching their eyes after reviewing the Epstein files.
You got time.
Funny how they drop the States Rights act when part of a State rebels against the State authoritarians.
And it's so dumb... Everyone knows where they are. Also, Dems are not doing anything illegal.
Yeah. That tracks. Post coup they can get back to their ethnic cleansing with less hassle.
While the world watches and waggles our fingers.
I am #SoFuckingTired
I can save the FBI a lot of money.
They're in Michigan. Not really a secret hiding place
Good luck with that. Way to stoke the fascist themes.
When does humpty fall off the wall? It’s exhausting. Unprecedented, not normal, abhorrent - we shld not be using these words on a daily basis. I agree w/your statement about the importance of their election rigging - bc their ethnic cleansing can’t continue if they aren’t in control.
Locate? Aren't they famously in Prizker family hotels that got bomb threats?
the lengths this administration will go to in order to make sure you to comply with & show favor to their political party (a party that's quickly losing ALL credibility) - well, it's not working well. Republicans have become a party of lawlessness and disorder and they hope their sheep won't notice
Someday, in the future, a great deal of people across US law enforcement will be heavily investigated for their disastrous decision to be compliant with the worst Whitehouse administration in history.
So now in Texas pregnant women and democrats can't leave the state.
What would be neat is if your legal and gov't experience could help us figure out a way to legally not pay taxes to this current federal government. There isn't a thing going on that I support, and much is happening that makes me complicit in evil. I don't want to pay for it. How? Can you help?
If you thought anyone appointed by Trump was going to refuse to follow any of his most sinister demands, you haven’t been paying attention.
Of course, power will always come first. Can't keep up the ethnic cleansing from jail
This is why I say I elections are going to be rigged for the midterms that’s why they don’t care if their vote cost them elections
Curious to know what happens if they resign.
Ok you find them. Then what? You going to detain them? This FBI guy sounds like the dog always chasing cars. And when he finally reaches the car his brain goes error 101.
Give me a fucking break this is more performative bullshit. They have no legal basis nor a criminal charge to do this. All they have is a toothless civil arrest warrant that only applies to Texas state lines. Beyond pathetic
