Governor Abbott escalated his threat: He now says that any of the fleebaggers who do not return to Texas by 3pm central (4pm east coast time) will face criminal felony charges.
But the more immediate threat is to strip them of the offices they have abandoned:

BREAKING NEWS from TX Governor Greg Abbott:
"This truancy ends now. The derelict Democrat House members must return to Texas and be in attendance when the House reconvenes at 3:00 PM on Monday, August 4, 2025. For any member who fails to do so, I will invoke Texas Attorney General Opinion No. KP-0382 to remove the missing Democrats from membership in the Texas House."
WOW.
To protest Texas' coming partisan gerrymander, Democrats fleebagged to... heavily partisan-gerrymandered Illinois and New York.
Though infuriating on one hand, on the other, you have to laugh at this stage in the game. I mean, as we pointed out, going to Illinois, which is home to one of the most corrupt and blatantly rigged Democrat political machines in the country, is not exactly the brightest idea these folks have had.
But to make matters worse for them, some of the Texas Democrats went to another blue state that is well-known for gerrymandering...
The Texas state house moved for the fleebaggers to be arrested -- an empty threat, because they're fleebagged to other states where Texas cops have no jurisdiction -- and then adjourned until tomorrow.
Pudge-bucket porkchop Jasmine Ratchet is ranting and raving and cursing and looking like a fool. I mean, not really new news here.
A xeeter called Salty Cracker said "her belly looks like a pack of hot dogs."
Ratchet might be redistricted out of her seat, and will ink a deal with MSNBC five seconds later.
Sorry for the long time away -- I mistakenly thought I'd posted at three o'clock.
