Greg Abbott orders arrest of Democrats who won't support his plan to cheat in the midterms. - FIVE MINUTE NEWS [View all]

Texas Republicans have voted to track down and arrest dozens of Democratic legislators who fled the state to block passage of a partisan redistricting plan that would allow Abbott to cheat in the midterms. The governor ordered state troopers "to locate, arrest, and return to the House chamber any member who has abandoned their duty to Texans." - 08/05/2025.
