Texas Democrats prevented their state’s House of Representatives from moving forward, at least for now, with a redrawn congressional map sought by Donald Trump.

Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says he will begin trying to remove Democratic lawmakers from office Monday if they don’t return after dozens of them left the state in a last-resort attempt to block redrawn U.S. House maps that President Donald Trump wants before the 2026 midterm elections.

    I literally thought they should steal his wheelchair.

    I deemed it too mean of a thought to share unprompted, but, well, I was prompted.

    I guess if the U.S. is bound and determined to become a corporate controlled religious theocracy, then at least we could come up with some really surrealist political protest before the collapse and genocides.

      Abbot was paralyzed when a tree fell on him. He sued and received a large settlement. Then as Texas AG, and governor, worked to make it harder for people to sue for large settlements.

      He is an asshole who deserves no respect, disabled or not.
