Texas Democrats Go On Extended Vacation, Legislature IRL Ghost Town
In a shocking turn of events, Texas Democrats pulled an unorthodox disappearing act to block GOP's power grab: 'If enough Democrats refused to participate in the special session, per parliamentary rules, the Texas House can't meet.' Over 50 lawmakers fled to coastal states, racking up $500 fines daily, while Austin debated issuing 'civil warrants' that work about as well as a screen door on a submarine. Meanwhile, Governor Greg Abbott threatens to expel and replace themâa process likened to 'herding cats with a rake,' given the legal quagmires involved.
