Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says he will begin trying to remove Democratic lawmakers from office Monday if they don’t return after dozens of them left the state in a last-resort attempt to block redrawn U.S. House maps that President Donald Trump wants before the 2026 midterm elections.
Eh? They left. What’s to remove?
He means he will (illegally) remove them from their duly elected offices.
Yup. These rules on how to run their local government were put in place to prevent blacks and women from achieving equality. Whenever marginalized people got too close to achieving anything a couple consecutive officials would flee to Florida or Mississippi until things quiet down. They’ll remove that law the moment it’s not on their favor.
