Is it legal to suspend direct deposit for quorum breakers? #txlege

Cornyn says FBI has granted his request to help track down Texas House Democrats The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment and has not independently confirmed U.S. Sen. John Cornyn’s claim.

The FBI has no business—or legal authority—to track down Texas House Democrats. The list of people willing to abuse their power to help Trump steal five congressional seats is growing. It’s a threat to the rule of law and our democracy. www.expressnews.com/politics/tex...

Falkenberg: Democrats fleeing redistricting didn’t abandon us. Abbott did. Gov. Greg Abbott is suing to remove state Rep. Gene Wu from office for leading a Democrat walkout over Trump's redistricting plan. But Texans know who really abandoned us.

Imagine if Greg Abbott put this much effort into life-saving flood relief. Or raises for workers. Or health care.

Don’t fall for these political games.

We support Chair Wu. Thank you for fighting for Texas workers! #txlege

Well, unfortunately that sort of stuff happens all the time, I doubt it violates the open meetings act. Hopefully, some intrepid reporters are able to get some info

To what are you referring ?

But don’t worry because if we do, it was god’s plan all along

Watch this be completely demolished because black lives do not matter to people in power, and we certainly can’t be having woke cemeteries indoctrinating our children #txlege

We’ve descended into fascism so rapidly, I’m almost ready to believe we’ll wipe ourselves off the face of the earth by December.

caring about things? what are you, some kind of queer? shut up and eat your slop

If it's "up to Israel," how about we cut off their weapons and let them decide their own fate, you disgusting genocidal pig?

the purpose of this is to make racism not just acceptable but mandatory. nationwide Jim Crow, controlled by a network of neo-Nazi political commisars who report directly to the executive.

He’s not wrong. But when will dems say what they will do, instead of just that the other guys are bad?

Just a polite reminder that we owe the concept of zombies to voodoun/Haitian cultures as an externalization of the fear of being compelled to labor beyond what was supposed to be the Absolute Freedom of death.

Seems like it

Not sure

They won’t be charged with any crime, and the warrants are not valid outside of state lines.

Yeah they can, page 92 of the house rules. Still, pretty much only symbolic

narrator: the legislators are paid $13,400 every 2 years. they should listen to you, but not because of their pay. if we paid them a living wage, more people who are not independently wealthy could afford to run for office. #txlege

Ruth Wilson Gilmore said, “No abolitionist who is a true abolitionist wants to save money. What we want is for the money to be spent, to enhance, and support human life so that it can flourish in a way that doesn’t destroy the planet. We’re not about cost-savings.” Save lives, not money.

Just because you are allowed to, doesn’t mean you should. Cc Texas Rs #txlege

Ok in the other chamber we've got another dose of fascism with a hearing on the anti-trans bathroom bill and a police secrecy bill that would allow departments to hide misconduct.
