Very good. Go after the men.
“civil arrest”?
Good post from Political Junkie Too about this yesterday.
Providing benefits to a legislator to keep them from voting is considered to be bribery under Texas law.
I Just caught it on the radio that Gov. Abbott will call another special session starting just as the current one expires.
Looks like we will see how long the others want to hold out.
And I expect there will be more arrests when they come straggling back in.
If they wanted to have a “good faith dialog” there was a place to do that but they ran away from it.
.
Arrest them all. I want to see them all lined up in handcuffs and leg chains doing a perp walk past taxpayers.
they need to change the “per diem” rule so that they only get paid if they are in Austin doing their job!
Yeah DC is going to honor that extradition……right.
Unless it's a criminal warrant I don't think extradition is an option.
Just one?

Hi. Covering the TXDEMS in DC for @TexasMonthly. Can confirm @juliejohnsonTX and her wife & @jessicafortexas and her fiancé are in Portugal for a vacation they had been planning, with non-refundable tickets, for a year-and-a-half. Still participating in caucus meetings via ZOOM.
