Show me a single instance of democrats rigging districts that would result in 5 new seats. You can’t. |
Didn’t democrats do essentially the same thing in California and Illinois? |
| Texas is pretty red no surprise. |

Greg Abbott’s latest tantrum reads less like law and more like unhinged political theater. Threatening to remove elected officials for quorum-breaking? Texas law says only courts, not governors, can decide forfeiture of office. Nice try, but this isn’t a royal decree. Calling fundraising ‘bribery’? Unless campaign donors are bribing lawmakers to skip votes, which even Abbott hasn't claimed. This is political speech, not a felony. Extraditing lawmakers for skipping town? Governors can't conjure warrants out of spite. These aren’t fugitives; they’re dissenting legislators using a known political tactic. Abbott's threat is unprecedented and on highly questionable legal grounds. Motives? Transparent as plexiglass. This isn’t about justice—it’s about vengeance, distraction, and rallying the base with a dose of authoritarian flair. When your policies are shaky, you go after your opponents, not the problems. |
| Amazing the lengths the GOP will go to protect Ghislaine and Epstein's pedo clients. Abbott must know quite a few. |
No. |

You would think that Democrats could find a state that isn't the most gerrymandered in the nation to flee to in order to protest..... gerrymandering.
LOL! |
Yes. Yes they did. |
+1000 This just shows the democrats’ hypocrisy. |
In California, Republicans make up 40% of the electorate. They have far fewer than 40% of Congressional seats, so CA Dems have gerrymandered for way more than 5 seats. |
Actually, thats a great location to start a national discussion about it, and right before midterms. Gerrymandering isn’t just a Texas problem, its (another) systemic national issue. |
| Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act needs to be ruled unconstitutional immediately. It's absurd, especially now that racists policies like affirmative action have correctly been found unconstitutional. |
THIS and his little letter filled with threats is not legal. I bet he hates that. |

Bravo to these Democrats! Texas literally redistributed sitting Dems out of their districts. They asked them for their addresses.
The National Dems need a lesson from these feisty Texas leaders. This is how you resist! |
