A planeload of Lonestar State Democrats claim they are defending democracy by hopping on chartered jets to deny a quorum during a special session, but their stunt is inviting ridicule for their antics and shame for refusing to perform their duties.
On Monday, private planes departed from Austin carrying the state legislators just hours before the GOP-led Texas House of Representatives was expected to take up election reform bills in the special session that was called by Gov. Greg Abbott.
“We are living on borrowed time in Texas,” the Democrats said in a statement announcing they were joining national Democrats on Capitol Hill to demand passage of the For the People Act.
Texas House of Representative rules require two-thirds of the 150-member chamber to be present to conduct business, according to the Texas Tribune, but the same rules state that “absentees” without an excuse for missing the session can be arrested by the sergeant-at-arms “and their attendance shall be secured and retained,” the newspaper said.
Gov. Abbott announced Tuesday that the missing lawmakers would be arrested once they return to Texas soil, and the House voted 76-4 later in the day to arrest their missing lawmakers. On social media, the defiant Democrats have been mocked for breaking into an off-key rendition of “We Shall Overcome” on Capitol Hill.
One state lawmaker, Gene Wu, was mocked for claiming he was recognized by numerous people at a D.C. airport and “applauded” for leaving Texas.
“The world is watching,” Rep. Wu later claimed in a Twitter post showing the media gathered around the Capitol Hill press conference.

Another social media post shows the plane-riding and maskless Democrats wearing “Make America Great Again” masks.
The political stunt also earned a story at The Babylon Bee. “Other states look to Texas for advice on how to get Democrats to leave,” reads the satiricial headline at the Bee.“I think it’s a very sad move for the Democrats,” observes Cathy Adams of Texas Eagle Forum . “They have a responsibility to their constituents, and instead they’re looking at themselves. They’re building themselves up.”

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
