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.”

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
