Texas Governor: I’ll Arrest My Own House Party Crashers
Governor Greg Abbott is on "find and arrest" duty, ordering Texas cops to hunt down Democratic lawmakers who've fled the state like it’s a bad family reunion. Abbott declared, 'There are consequences for dereliction of duty,' insisting the missing Democrats are "holding hostage" flood aid and tax relief. The catch? Texas police powers annoyingly stop at the border, so it’s basically a 'Catch me if you can' with Capitol drama. Democrats say they’re just dodging an ‘illegal voter suppression’ plot. Meanwhile, other Democrats are rallying for a political war — gloves off and shades on.
