Stupid, they haven't done anything illegal. Even TX Democratic representatives have the right to travel to another state. Abbott is panicking. He sounds a lot like someone else we notice does the same kind of nonsense.
Warren and Hochul are champions. So is IL governor Pritzker. Go team!
I think there's something in their constitution about neglecting the duties of their office that Abutt and Pisston are planning to use to attempt to remove them from office.
But at least the democrats are fighting hard and fighting back. Abbott thought they would all roll over and play dead like the rest of them. I guess it took the Texans to finally show the real fighting spirit of Americans. I have tears in my eyes.
With regard to Abbott’s threats to arrest the democratic legislators, I have to confess I don’t understand what law truly allows him to do that. It’s obviously not a criminal arrest, so I suppose he’s claiming it’s a civil infraction, but an infraction of what law? One thing for certain, the violent rhetoric continues to escalate and I worry about repetitions of attacks like the ones in Wisconsin.
Abbott is as complicit as Paxton with his threatening bluster to arrest! The attorney, representative Jolanda Jones says no law is being broken. Here’s to hoping the quorum busters can hold out for a few months to foil the Felon’s plan to redistrict. All Dem governors should be planning their own redistricting to keep on their back burners just in case other Red states follow this subterfuge pattern. Go Dems🙌🏻
If only Maine could redistrict, but we haven't much in the way of population growth, so we're stuck at two and both are Dem. Well, Golden is a DINO but he's a lot better than the slimy R (Poliquin) we had before him.
My late husband was a real student of politics even though he was a neurosurgeon. He listened intently to everything especially on NPR. He heard her speak so cogently about issues when she first came on the scene as a professor, and became more public, he was so impressed. Her presentations stuck with him.
Men in politics, particularly republican men with easily threatened egos and no ability to answer pointed, intelligent arguments from a woman, always diminish her because of her gender. It’s disgusting. Warren has dealt with this phenomenon for years and years.
I do too! I wish I lived in her district, but it doesn't really matter, I still support and donate to her campaign. She is smart, articulate and I love it when she puts those idiot repubs in their places. She doesn't back down!!!
gov abbot is an asshole robot!! I love it when Elizabeth Warren put it: Warren sarcastically replied: “Oh my goodness! Oh dear! Are you worried that billionaires are going to go hungry?” 😂😂
Thank you so much Scott, great way to start out my morning. I appreciate everything you do and do know I to will do everything I can to stop this administration from continuing to destroy our country. We can’t think that someone or something is coming to save us, we must take action now! Keep up the fight and I have your backs.
Abbott is and always has been a manipulative narcissist and I’m still mad at TX for electing him again. They could have had Beto! I just hope the state of TX is aware of the fascist regime is taking over the whole country and stand up for all of us
Hopefully, if we keep the pressure on TRump and his sycophants, they'll finally understand that they're digging their own graves politically. We MUST convey to voters how important their votes are and that without their votes, we'll continue to freefall into this downward spiral that TRump is responsible for. Thank you for your hard work Scott! #ONWARD!!

Love Warren and Hochul! They are true heroes!
And Pritzger!
And Pritzker! I love him!
Me too! ONWARD!
They sure are Teresa!

⬆️Abbott is panicking.
I agree. The TX Democratic House Caucus called his bluff and his cards really aren't as good as he is trying to pretend.

He can certainly fine them, but I think there are plenty of people willing to chip in to help cover the costs.

tRumps going to be mad, yeah!!!
Good...hope his blood pressure breaks the cuff.
Go go go!
Agree 🔝
I agree! Abbott has no legal grounds. Panicking. Yes onward!
I think there's something in their constitution about neglecting the duties of their office that Abutt and Pisston are planning to use to attempt to remove them from office.
Abbott can go to hell.
Abbott is already in hell. He's in Texas, where he's making their state a living hell.
But at least the democrats are fighting hard and fighting back. Abbott thought they would all roll over and play dead like the rest of them. I guess it took the Texans to finally show the real fighting spirit of Americans. I have tears in my eyes.
And his little attorney general too.
I’m so proud of my Dem state legislators!
GO TEXAS DEMS!
⬆️GO TEXAS DEMS!

Thanks Cheryl great links.
👍
Molly Ivins is cheering from Above!
“The gloves are off.” You go, Hochul!! Dems need to take the gloves off!! (or put a few horseshoes in them)
LOVE MY GOVERNOR!
About time.
Damned straight…!
About time! RESIST!
Hey, that’s on my bumper! RESIST
;)
Brass knuckles!

The law doesn't allow it. Smoke and mirrors. Red meat for the MAGAs.
Yes civil, which means he shouldn't be able to get Trump to get the Feds involved---but Cornyn asked anyways!

We the People.
If only Maine could redistrict, but we haven't much in the way of population growth, so we're stuck at two and both are Dem. Well, Golden is a DINO but he's a lot better than the slimy R (Poliquin) we had before him.

⬆️ "I worry about repetitions of attacks like the ones in Wisconsin."
Are you referring to the assinations in MN or did I miss the news about an attack in WI?
Sorry, my error!! Of course it was Minnesota.
Not a problem. I'm just relieved that there wasn't another crazy MAGA out there shooting Democratic legislators.
I have always loved Elizabeth Warren!! 🥰
I got to meet her right after she won years ago. Really down to earth and brilliant as well.
My late husband was a real student of politics even though he was a neurosurgeon. He listened intently to everything especially on NPR. He heard her speak so cogently about issues when she first came on the scene as a professor, and became more public, he was so impressed. Her presentations stuck with him.
My state’s Senator.
As usual, men who oppose her called her “shrill”! Which is what men called women who have the temerity to disagree with them!
Men in politics, particularly republican men with easily threatened egos and no ability to answer pointed, intelligent arguments from a woman, always diminish her because of her gender. It’s disgusting. Warren has dealt with this phenomenon for years and years.
"Nevertheless she persisted"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevertheless,_she_persisted
(Thank God!)
Cheryl, that phrase represents a high point for me! Loved it, let’s get those T-shirts back out and wear them!
It's what they say about Jasmine Crockett too.....but I LOVE her!
I do too! I wish I lived in her district, but it doesn't really matter, I still support and donate to her campaign. She is smart, articulate and I love it when she puts those idiot repubs in their places. She doesn't back down!!!
Me too! She's my absolute hero!
I think they use "nasty" now to emulate the "Chosen One."
I’m so proud of the Texas dems standing up and fighting back to protect our free and fair elections.
Same here Cathy!
Great stuff Scott. This is the direction we need to be going in to save democracy. Thanks for keeping us going and uplifted to fight the good fight.
Thank you Teri!
gov abbot is an asshole robot!! I love it when Elizabeth Warren put it: Warren sarcastically replied: “Oh my goodness! Oh dear! Are you worried that billionaires are going to go hungry?” 😂😂
Issue is that once again Trump delay delay delay as Murdoch agreed to delay depositions over libel lawsuit with WSJ reporting.
Will the WSJ do another Epstein expose or not. We hope...

We can only save ourselves! Sooner the better!
Oh we definitely are the cavalry per se Mary!
Typical far right Republican. Ove. They can't govern without threats. They follow Trump's example
Abbott is and always has been a manipulative narcissist and I’m still mad at TX for electing him again. They could have had Beto! I just hope the state of TX is aware of the fascist regime is taking over the whole country and stand up for all of us
