Chris Hooks at the Monthly discusses how (soon) the walkout will end and other details. (He's partially wrong about Joe Manchin in 2021: Sen. Yachtsman backed re-instating "preclearance," but only if done nationally, and I agreed at the time.) And, otherwise riffing on him? Ending the quorum break early starts legal challenges early. And if, between this and Trump unpopularity (Kerrville will be a great 2026 campaign issue) if Dems can't win diluted districts, then they might as well admit Texas is actually Alabama.
Seriously. They booted, finally, Gilberto Hinojosa from the deck and wheel of the SS Texas Democrats Minnow. Will it be enough? Gene Wu's first term as House minority leader didn't impress, and can you even name the state Senate minority leader (or majority leader) off the top of your head? I can't.
Beyond that, Hooks knows that polls pitting a named Rethuglican against a nameless generic Democrap (or vice versa) are next to worthless.
