Although the news, especially about The collapse of Afghanistan And the trapped American citizens, not so good lately, there is a bit of sunlight through the clouds: the fleeing Texas Democrats who fled to Washington, DC have folded.
The task force had previously promised to leave the state indefinitely and rejected the quorum required by the Texas House of Representatives to pass a relatively modest electoral integrity bill. But after Governor Greg Abbott called another special meeting, defectors began to increase. Now, it is enough to start the legislative session.
As I said on the first day of this legend, These Texas Democrats played a chicken game in which they had no chance of winning. Except crying, everything is over.

Life comes quickly, but no one comes faster than Gene Wu, who declared victory a few weeks ago.
In a few days, I will complete my legislative goal, which is to cancel the country’s most partisan anti-voter legislation.
I will continue to tweet. You keep crying. https://t.co/9ZSyd8cHBU

Does this mean that we won’t get more salad photos on Twitter? What a pity.
In the end, this will become one of the dumbest and most meaningless gimmicks in political history. Not only did the Texas Democrats have no end (they could not win), but they used all their political capital to try to block a bill that did not even cause any controversy, but failed. Yes, Harris County will no longer be able to run ridiculous programs like 24-hour voting, but is this really the most important civil rights issue of our time?
Democrats in Texas had better wait for the card to be played on the issue of actual consequences. Instead, they boasted about it during a lunch meeting with Kamala Harris and a super communicator incident. This is a complete comedy.
However, more important than politics is that Texas elections will be safer. This is what really matters.
