WOW! Texas Dem RUINS Trump Plan and STRIKES BACK - Meidas Touch

[Rhiannon12866]

Texas Republicans are pushing new district maps that would drastically underrepresent Democratic voters—at Donald Trump’s urging. Texas State Rep. James Talarico joins Ken Harbaugh from an undisclosed location to explain why Democrats broke quorum to stop the plan, despite threats of arrest — and worse — from their own government. - 08/16/2025.

1. Meidastouch headlines always have doom and gloom scenarios for the right.

It’s a pity they never pan out. Some of us here, have longer memories and are disgusted with their hype!

2. Well, they don't get clicks (and therefore, income) by being banal in the headlines.

Thank the broadcasters who went 'Hollywood' for that. Flashy, energetic and empty.

Most of the articles with such headlines go on to refute their own titles.

But, they get clicks.

3. I resent that they do this to the left.

How many posters here have put hope in their reporting, and have later found themselves disappointed by that hype later?
Meidastouch can take their overblown headlines, with all the multiple crazy shit exclamation points and get lost!

8. I agree with others on this thread about Meidas Touch headlines being "clickbait," however,

don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Ken Harbaugh interviews Texas State Rep. James Telerico who mentions that, among other things, he and the other Democratic Texas State Reps. who left the state are not only being "threatened and worse by his own government," but have also received bomb threats at the hotel they were staying at.

The Texas Republicans hold a 20-11 majority in the Senate and a 88-62 majority in the House.

The Texas State Democratic Reps. who left the state did so because it was the only thing they could do to prevent the GOP Trump-loving fascists from creating new Republican districts.

Look beyond the stupid Meidas Touch headlines because what those brave Texas Democrats have done is an important, heroic, and necessary act.
