As we reported earlier in the week, the Texas House passed the bill on the redistricting maps that Democrats had been trying to block for weeks, including by fleeing the state and breaking quorum. 

The next step for the bill was the Texas Senate, and on Friday, the Senate finally voted on the bill.  But the Democrats pulled out one final desperate stalling tactic.

State Senator Carol Alvarado, the leader of the Senate Democratic caucus, vowed to filibuster the bill for as long as she could. How off the rails was she? She even got a catheter installed so that she wouldn't have to stop to go to the bathroom, according to reports.

Texas Democratic state Sen. Carol Alvarado announced plans Friday to filibuster a Republican-led redistricting bill — and while she’s holding the floor, she won’t be holding it in. 

Alvarado, 57, prepped for what could be a marathon speech by having a catheter inserted and attaching a urine bag to herself, according to multiple outlets. 

The Houston-area Democrat even purchased a “long blue flowered dress to hide the bag,” the Washington Post reported.
