Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), Texas’s senior senator up for reelection in 2026, announced on Thursday that FBI Director Kash Patel agreed to his request for federal agents to help Texas law enforcement track down and return runaway Democratic lawmakers.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) hit back at the idea of federal agents coming into his state to detain the Democratic lawmakers who fled there. Pritzker told Jessica Yellin on her News Not Noise podcast on Wednesday, saying, “The fact is that you know our local law enforcement protect everybody in Illinois. Our state troopers protect everybody in Illinois and anybody who’s here in Illinois.” He added that “if you haven’t broken federal law” and are in his state, “there’s no way” you can be arrested by the FBI.
I wish I could just not show up for work and still have a job.
In this case, you can argue that “not showing up” is doing their job, since they’re protecting the voice of their constituents.
Republicans:Dems in Texas are currently 25:12 (one vacant seat), versus if they had truly fair districting, it would be 21:17.
They want to push it even more extreme. That seems unfair, and undemocratic to me.
Oh, shut up.
Get your head out of your ass
Pretending this is some sort of work ethic problem is hilarious. Who is this for?
