A small democratic logic made by a representative of Texas Anne Johnson, who, with his democratic colleagues in the state legislative body, left Texas to prevent the Republican legislators from fulfilling President Trump’s order to radically Germand.
“If Republicans are afraid of Texas voters, they must adjust their policies – not to establish our cards,” – says JohnsonChief Texas Lawyer and three -term legislator, who flew from a single stellar state on Sunday as part of a tactical step aimed at preventing Republicans Governor Greg Ebot and Republicans from implementing the plan to overcome district maps to turn five of the Democrats currently adhered to.
In particular, the Texan Democratic legislators violate the quorum – a tactic that effectively denies national legislative leaders to continue the scheme of Hermandar Trump. “I ask everyone to remember that the gap of the quorum is a tool that parents were created in Texas – the founders, when the minority party knows that the party most left the rails and is doing something against the interests and will of voters,” – interpret Johnson. “Thousands of you have come out to say that you want your places to stole Trump. The big ugly bill adopted by one vote – and he is afraid to go to the polls in November 2026. He asked the Governor Ebat to break the rules and make him five new republican places. So much so that your voices can be heard.
Abbott is apopold. He has threatened To charge Democrats with crimes and remove them from the chosen positions. Smooth legal experts say he lacks this. And the democratic governors of several blue states signal that if the Fiance finds a way to cancel the Texas Democrats and go ahead with the new Jermander, they may look to resist it by reducing cards in their own states.
The Congress County County, which illustrate how high rates for Texas and the whole USA is increasingly chaotic.
Suddenly, nationalized struggle for germanding in Texas goes to the main premises of representative democracy, which was understood as the best of the founders of the American project as an experiment in granting power to people. The experiment has never worked great. But, at best, it provided a check and balance on the executive and authoritarian abuse of DC Elites.
In the past, when US presidents and their parties have survived a cliff in the amount of surveys with which Trump and GoP were injured because they decided to expose Medicaid and the facilitation programs to finance tax reduction for billionaires, and at the same time sent the economy that was transferred from the unpredictable tariff policy.
Either they lost their positions and most of the congress in the next election.
This principle of electoral responsibility was usually a powerful adjustment in US politics. In the softer form, it requires the presidents and Congress members to explain their choice and try to win the American people to their point of view. In more extreme circumstances, this led to epic political shifts, How happened in 1932When the Americans were dismissed by Wall Street Republican, whose policy has accelerated a great depression, and replaced by Franklin Roosevelt and the Coalition of Democrats and Left Allies who led to a new deal.
Now Trump wants to postpone calculation of accountability by copying his allies already very skewed Texas cards in such a way that he can give Republicans the opportunity to hold the house, where they currently occupy 219 placesOnly one is more than it takes to require the exact majority in the camera 435 places. But, as always, he also wants to check how much authoritarianism he can get rid of. When Texas Gambit goes forward, other state states controlled by Republicans will probably follow Lone Star Gop-I if the US Supreme Court allows them to do so by squeezing what is left of the voting rights and GoP can retain full control over the federal government in 2026, even if
That’s what does what happens in Austin more than just a lonely stellar struggle. “Their struggle is our struggle!” interpret Governor of Illinois J. B. Packer, when he welcomes many Texas legislators in Chicago on Sunday. And this is not just a struggle for deformed district lines of Congress and falsified elections.
It is a vital and death struggle for the future of representative democracy, as Americans have understood it for politics, who, in the best circumstances, has historically continued in reasonable and fair elections. “People need to pay attention to what is happening in Texas now because Donald Trump wants to spread this species all over America,” says US spokesman Greg Cassar, a Texas Democrat, who heads the progressive Congress. “Trump knows that he can’t win the upcoming intermediate elections, so he tries to secure them. And the way he tries to do it (Trump) tries to do it to break the voting law of 1965. As we know. All America.
