A Texas Democrat said Monday the runaways will need $1.5 million to stay in D.C. until August 7 - while another member admitted it was a mistake to go maskless on private jets after five contracted COVID.
Fundraising efforts ensued last week to help pay for the trip as the group insists no taxpayer money is being used for their stunt.
State Representative Armando Walle told NBC News in a report published Monday that the cost of keeping the group of around 60 lawmakers in the nation's capital for the remainder of the special session would reach around $1.5 million.

Dims don’t pay for anything themselves.
Only dumb saps, honest people, republicans and other nobodies to them pay for things.

Idiot. Masks wouldn’t have saved you from getting the virus. No, he meant a messaging mistake. :)

However, on plus side here, we have a controlled experiment. This variant appears to be highly contagious. It will be interest to see how many get it, how mild/severe it is for them, and whether there is any differential between vaccinated and unvaccinated in terms of severity or contagion.
And, I couldn't think of a more deserving bunch of medical guinea pigs than these Texas Democrats, who thought they were on a high-cost, all expenses paid political junket.

Are they all at the same hotel? Is it named in the article? It needs to be quarantined! It needs to be locked down immediately!

“Abbott should initiate another special session in August.”
He has already said he will. And he is docking their pay and their staff pay, not with-holding, docking, they do not get it back.

Do we really KNOW that any of them have COVID, or is this just an excuse to stay out of state?
To: dynachrome
Maybe they should try that prove Dem fundraiser and sell some paintings. Shouldn’t take more than 3 or 4 and they could do it in their spare time.
To: dynachrome
Their mistake wasn’t flying maskless. Who cares.
Their mistake was running away from their legislative responsibility - restoring accountability and integrity to elections.
Their mistake was being lying Democrat scumbags.
