Is what the Texas Democrats are doing by leaving the state for DC

Just an extension or style of the filibuster? They hate it when it's used against them.
Killing the filibuster could kill the reQublican party.

We kill the Filibuster, or we are all dead. It's that simple.

Then they will have free reign to expand on schemes like the COVID genocide, baby-jailing, etc.

Millions will die as a result. Over half a million have already been killed.

At every possible opportunity, Trump did the exact opposite of what was needed to stop COVID. He murdered hundreds of thousands of Americans; it was no accident. Jarhead told him that only those nasty blue-state people would die.

You do remember the baby jails, right? It was a big story for most of Trump's term. Hundreds of those kids are still orphaned or missing.

No what the Texas Dems are doing is trying there best to get the Federal Govt. to act and restore voting rights in this country before it is too late.

I am proud to be a Texas Democrat.
