Open with the dramatic escape: Texas House Democrats literally fleeing the state to Illinois — just to block a redistricting vote tied to a Trump-requested map.
“Democrats in the Texas House who try and run away like cowards should be found, arrested, and brought back…” — Ken Paxton
Contrast with the fact that Republicans are trying to follow standard legislative procedure, and it’s Democrats who are now preventing democracy.
President Trump and Texas Governor Greg Abbott are teaming up to redraw voting districts in a bold move to capture 5 new Republican seats—and Democrats are losing it. With Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton even threatening arrests for those trying to obstruct or flee, this power play is rocking the political landscape. Panic is setting in, and the GOP just might flip the game board.
While you were sleeping, Congress lit the fuse on what may be the most explosive piece of legislation in modern history. President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill bulldozed its way through the Capitol overnight—Republicans are celebrating like it’s the Fourth of July, and Democrats? They’re calling it the Hell Bill. What’s in it? Why the secrecy? And what does it mean for the rest of us? Buckle up—this one’s going nuclear.
