Texas House Democrats encouraged to deny quorum during special by top members of the national party including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries
Quorum Report has learned that Jeffries, former AG Eric Holder, and DNC Chair Martin were listed as speakers to the caucus this week, encouraging state lawmakers not to help the GOP redraw Congressional districts in Trump’s bid to avoid another impeachment
With less than a week to go before a special session is set to start next Monday in Austin, Texas House Democrats are coming under increased pressure from national leaders in their party to prevent Republican leadership from redrawing congressional districts.
The urgency was underscored by a meeting of the Democratic Caucus in which US House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and others were slated to speak to legislators about what’s at stake and to strategize about the situation.

Rats pissing into the wind...The Repubs grew some balls and viola:(according to GROK3)
In 2025, all Texas House committee chairs are Republicans. This follows the adoption of new House rules on January 23, 2025, which prohibit members of the minority party (Democrats) from serving as committee chairs, ending a decades-long tradition of bipartisan chairmanships.
New House rules implemented in the 89th Legislature (2025) impose financial penalties on members who break quorum, including daily fines and costs for efforts to compel their return, which are deducted from their House budgets if unpaid. These changes aim to deter quorum-breaking tactics, previously used notably by Democrats in 2021 to block voting restrictions legislation.
