Summary

Texas Democrats have left the building...literally. In a bold move to block the GOP’s latest power grab (aka redistricting), they fled the state. Now, Republicans are throwing a full-blown tantrum and have voted to arrest them for daring to stand in the way. Are Democrats finally growing a spine? It’s looking that way. We’re joined by Texas Rep. Jolanda Jones to break down what’s really going on, what’s at stake, and why this showdown matters far beyond Texas. Oh, and if that’s not dystopian enough for you, Trump and Pam Bondi are now trying to indict Barack Obama. Yes, the former president. WTF?! We’ll break it all down. The authoritarian nonsense is piling up fast, and someone has to call it out. Let’s go. This episode is sponsored by Wild Alaskan. Not all fish are the same! Get seafood you can trust.
