Number of Texas Democrats testing positive for COVID rises to 5
Two more Texas state House Democrats tested positive for COVID-19 after traveling to Washington, D.C., last week to leave Republicans in their state short of the quorum they needed to pass new state voting restrictions. The new infections brought to five the number of Texas Democrats who have tested positive after the trip. The members were reportedly fully vaccinated. The group sought meetings with members of Congress to push for federal voting rights legislation, including the For the People Act, to counter new voting restrictions being pushed by numerous GOP-controlled state legislatures. "Democracy is in jeopardy, and we will not be stopped in our fight to protect it," said Texas State Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer (D), who said he tested positive Sunday. [CNN]

Hope I do not come off too callous and I hope none of them are too seriously affected but I think it serves them right. They were elected by the people of Texas to do a job, they chose to abandon that responsibility. They should not receive pay for the time they chose to abandon their duties and they should be censored. I fully support their right to object to and declare their reason for not wanting this bill to pass in the Texas Legislature, but do not support their actions. All the people of Texas that elected the other Representatives have been taken hostage by childish actions of a few.
