Well, they would only let the democrats leave the house chamber if they agreed to be accompanied by a Law Enforcement officer. One refused and has been locked in the chamber for almost 24 hours now.
Not what I hoped for but still funny as heck.

Just more theater for the base such as yourself. There is no actual penalty here as was threatened by both Abbott and Paxton. Just like I said it would turn out BTW

Don't forget that the 2020 census had errors. The results were FL losing out on 2 additional seats, TX losing on 1, MN and RI not losing 1 seat each as they should have and CO gaining 1 it was not entitled to. You can make your own Blue/Red conclusions.

Quid pro quo.

California Democrats on Friday released their redistricting proposal, aiming to produce up to five additional Democratic seats in the US House in response to Texas Republicans’ mid-decade redrawing of lines at the behest of President Donald Trump.

The release comes ahead of the California legislature meeting Monday, with final passage possible later next week. Unlike in Texas, where the GOP can pass new US House maps as soon as enough Democrats return from a nearly two-week absence denying them quorum, Gov. Gavin Newsom and California Democrats will need voters to approve new maps in a November referendum.

The extraordinary battle between the nation’s two most populous states plays out as Trump has pushed Republican-led states to redraw their lines ahead of next year’s midterms. That’s led to outraged Democrats in blue states seeking to retaliate.
“Trump sparked this national crisis when he called Texas to rig the election. California is fighting back,” California Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas said in a statement.

That's a lengthy response when all you had to day was "no, there is no civil war."

100 % not true.

Not sure why you feel compelled to put forth revisionist history.

Before the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization (2022), the constitutional right to an abortion was established by Roe v. Wade (1973) and reaffirmed in Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992). In Roe, the Court held that the right to privacy, derived from the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, encompassed a woman's decision to terminate her pregnancy. This right was not absolute; it was balanced against state interests, allowing regulations after the first trimester and prohibitions after fetal viability, except when necessary to protect the mother’s life or health. Casey upheld Roe’s core holding but replaced the trimester framework with the "undue burden" standard, protecting the right to an abortion before viability.

The Dobbs decision overturned Roe and Casey, ruling that the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion, returning regulatory authority to the states. Thus, prior to Dobbs, a constitutional right to an abortion existed under the framework of Roe and Casey.

The constitution has NOTHING about abortion. The SC made a national rule where it didn't have the standing to do so. It was bad law. It was overturned as it should have been. Now abortion is a state matter as it should be by the constitution (10th amendment I think). It's not complicated.

That caption says "white voters" and she didn't say that, nor is that the context. She's talking specifically about the people trying to gerrymander.

It's insane for people who are in support of what Republicans are doing right now to be pointing the finger at people like her.

I can't even make sense of her eubonics. She wants WHO to come to Texas? Does she know that to vote in Texas that you have to be a resident of Texas? Probably not. I know children with better sense than that. The best thing is that now everyone can see her for what she is. An uneducated idiot that cannot even be functional in her native language.

The Dem party is so lost. You know it’s bad when Steven A smith goes calls out the left on his podcast. Then, he went on Fox and state she is not a Dem. 😆.

And old Carville can’t stop complaining about his party. Newsome is a lose cannon with citizens of his state moving in droves to Texas, TN, FL, Nevada, etc. Shambles! 😂 Yet he is on TV w his cronies showing off his looks- 😆.

Go Vols!
