Go Texas democrats

They fled to Illinois to stop far right wingers from stealing elections. Texas can't vote if they're not there 🥹

The anal retentive Governor Abbott is threatening to fire them. I don't know Texas law or what's in their Constitution but I'll bet he doesn't have the power to fire legislators.

@MoveAlong No he does not.

Unless a court steps in ...and they likely won't.... Abbott and his clan will redraw the districts.

This is what fascism looks like.

@JSul3 If they do It looks like NY, CA and IL are poised to retaliate. We all lose.

JSul3 · 70-79

@MoveAlong Yes ...but CA has a state commission, something TX lacks, so Newsome can't just redraw lines tomorrow. There's a procedure he will need to follow.

@MoveAlong As noted in the article, Newsome can call for a special election.
