What is to stop MAGA lawmakers from breaking quorum rules and proceeding to redistrict the state anyway?

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway spelled out where tariffs were hitting it Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway said first-half revenues fell 39% at Squishmallows' parent company and 12% at Fruit of the Loom as tariffs loomed.

This is a harbinger of what's to come for the greater U.S. economy - i.e. everything outside of the Mag 7 tech companies.

"many economists have warned [tariffs] may accelerate inflation, slow growth, and disrupt global commerce."

The Fed could easily solve it, but it would involve firing the entire Trump administration... out of a cannon. Into a brick wall.

What makes them think MAGA lawmakers will respect a quorum? Like whatโ€™s actually stopping them from just doing this anyway in their absence?

Why do they think MAGA lawmakers will ignore every other law, but respect the rules of a quorum?

This will pass easily while all the Democrats are gone.

Why do they assume MAGA lawmakers will respect the rules of a quorum exactly?

This will pass easily in their absence.

And they assume MAGA lawmakers will respect the rules of a quorum why, exactly?

With all the Democrats fled, theyโ€™ll pass this easily.

If theyโ€™re willing to disrespect the rules of congressional districts, why would they respect the rules of a quorum?

Theyโ€™ll pass this easily after all the Democrats fled the state.

And Dems assume MAGA legislators will respect the rules of quorumโ€ฆ why?

MAGA lawmakers will make the YaoMing.jpg face and pass this bill anyway, right?

Sir.

If theyโ€™re willing to ignore the legality of this, what on earth makes you believe they wonโ€™t also ignore the rules of a quorum, and pass this law in your absence?

The thing about grocery costs and PBS is that Trump had Epstein killed in a jail cell to cover up for his rape crimes on Epstein Island.

Ballrooms, even the grand ones, donโ€™t cost $200 million.

Bribes, kick-backs, money laundering. Clock it.

If you think this canโ€™t happen to you, rethink it. Your reasoning may be, Iโ€™m not brown, I was born here, Iโ€™m a citizen ..Have you posted comments on SM expressing dissent toward Trump, his admin or their policies? Attend a protest? You a registered Dem? Answer yes to the above? Youโ€™re next.

Forget eggsโ€”the cost of coffee is skyrocketing, and folks are noticing.

I heard it was coming, so I stocked up weeks ago, but my supply wonโ€™t last forever. Trumpโ€™s Brazil tariffs are to blame.

The United States is torturing immigrants. Do you care?

Because if you're American, this is being done in your name.

I'm a daughter, granddaughter, great-granddaughter of immigrants. What if they did this to my family? What if they did it to yours?

Economist Amartya Sen won a Nobel in part for asking: Why did India avoid the mass famines that killed tens of millions in China? His answer: a free press. Journalists could expose suffering and shame governments into action. Silence and avoidance, by contrast, can be deadly.
