   It’s over. The war over Texas’ congressional maps for the upcoming   
   midterms is over, and we have won. It was going to happen: the messaging   
   was a mess, the governor vowed to hold more special sessions until the new   
   map passed, and the public didn’t care.   
      
   Texas House Democrats fled the state when this map was proposed, some   
   absconding to the heavily gerrymandered Illinois, which was beyond parody.   
   It was done to prevent a quorum. Texas House Democrats were the subject of   
   arrest warrants and threats of expulsion. The FBI was tasked with helping   
   local and state police find them. The jig was up—they’re returning all but   
   assuring final passage of the new map (via ABC13):   
      
   ABC13 has confirmed with multiple sources that House Democrats will return   
   to Texas.   
      
   Eyewitness News has not confirmed the date, but we do know that Democrats   
   believe they've accomplished their mission by killing the first special   
   session and by raising national awareness about the mid-decade   
   redistricting effort.   
      
   It is unclear which day they will be in Austin at the Capitol, but they   
   stress that they will push for Hill Country flooding relief to be the   
   priority.   
      
   This comes as the House went another session without a quorum on Tuesday,   
   with just 95 members present for the second day in a row. Texas House   
   Speaker Dustin Burrows said that assuming there is no quorum on Friday,   
   the session will end, and a new one will begin.   
      
   Democrats learned quickly that voters know gerrymandering has been   
   happening since before Trump. Even the media framed their stunt as   
   ‘fleeing the state.’ It didn’t help that Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and   
   New York Governor Kathy Hochul got torched on the Sunday morning talk   
   shows, where their states’ congressional maps, heavily drawn to favor   
   Democrats, were brought up by hosts on NBC and Fox News Sunday. The   
   hypocrisy was astounding. The Texas Senate easily passed the map, which   
   sent it to the State House for final passage.   
      
      
   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
