Good news. I love that Gov. Pritzker is giving us sanctuary. I hope we can make this last. I love how the press release defines Republicans as quislings who are throwing Texans under the bus so they can bow down to Trump. That is completely in line with public sentiment.
Also, the press release was just about as aggressive as one can be within the bounds of professionalism. That is the right move against Trump. He is the proverbial bully who cries when you punch him in the nose.
Heck, they'll probably try and move the March primaries back so they have time to shove the maps down our throats in more special sessions. But, I think we are putting them on their back foot by framing the narrative early. Political action against Republicans is going leave a mark, I predict.
They can’t pass the bill if they don’t have quorum. The session ends August 23. If 51 Democrats start gone until then, the bill is dead… for this session.
Likely, Abbott will call another session to begin August 24.
This is what courage looks like. While the GOP keeps trying to game the system in plain sight, Texas Democrats are actually putting their bodies on the line to stop it.
Breaking quorum isn’t just political theater. It’s resistance with teeth.
Appreciate the updates. Keep them coming. We’re watching, and we’ve got their backs.
Thank you for giving us the up to date on the spot independent journalism. You are a gem and that is all I can say and thank you for fighting for us and bringing a message the world that we are not sitting this out !
Woo Hoooo!!! Such a relief!!

Cautiously optimistic here.
They aren't only in Illinois, they went to various locations. I'll have more details soon.
Thanks! I’m watching and waiting for the news conference to start.
Where? Did I miss it?
I was watching it on NBC5 Chicago's website. It just ended. But, I reckon they will have it archived on their website.
He was an amazing host for the DNC! I went to every possible event with him!
Expect a constitutional amendment at the next opportunity to abolish or modify quorum rules. Nothing is easier to amend than the Texas constitution.

Hope you're right, but I can't see stopping that steamroller.
What happens next? Is this gonna result in them still passing the bill? They dont play fair
