Texas Democrats aren’t abandoning their jobs. Abbott abandoned flood victims. How many children must die to make disaster recovery a priority over power-plays? houstonchronicle.com/opinion/editor…

.James Talarico: "As a state representative, I get paid about $600 a month, before taxes. That's not much to live off of. Many of my colleagues, including myself, we have day jobs that help us pay the bills. And by breaking quorum, we are leaving those day jobs behind. We are

In addition to losing constituent services, the merging of Austin’s 2 congressional offices into 1 hurts federal funding for local projects. 2 congressional reps are simply better than 1. Proposed redistricting maps are very bad for Austin.

“I’m less concerned with Abbott’s empty threats than I am with fighting for the rights of my constituents. Democracy is important…and I’m just focused on making sure my constituents have a voice in who represents them…” #txlege

Good morning from Aurora, Illinois (excellent). We are about to start another Texas Dems press conference on day two of the #txlege quorum break. Ill. Gov. JB Pritzker and DNC Chair Ken Martin.

Every lawyer texting me about this says that it is stupid "political hogwash." The best part is where you pointed to the late Sen. Gallegos of Houston, who was fighting voter ID in 2007 in the example you gave and also broke quorum in 2003 over redistricting #txlege

History will judge this moment. It will show a Governor who used the law as a weapon to silence his people, and it will show those of us who stood for a higher principle. We took an oath to the constitution, not to a politician’s agenda. #txlege

“HELL NO” Gene Wu tells me he won’t return to the Texas Capitol by 1pm Friday when Speaker Dustin Burrows scheduled the House to go back into session. Wu responds to Greg Abbott’s emergency petition to remove him from office. ⬇️
