    we will push back even harder

    Tell that to the Texas Dems who couldn’t even hold out against this for a full month

      One, the Texas quorum denial has never worked. Two, they held out until they had buy-in on a nationwide response. Three, they did actual hold out until the end of the special session. Abbott then just called a new one. So, unless your win conditions were “Texas Dems abandon their homes and lives until governor gives up and cries in shame”, then they were moderately successful.

        Has their seats declared vacant and appoints MAGA sycophants who pass the redistricting.

          Hardly a win condition for the Dems, but yeah. That’s why quorum busting in Texas fails.
