By Caleb HoweJul 13th, 2021, 5:00 pm Texas Democrats split the state this week to prevent a quorum from being reached and thus block (or “filibuster” if you will) passage of a bill by the duly elected majority in the Texas legislature. Upon arriving in D.C., the vacationers broke out in a spontaneous performance of “We Shall Overcome.” Then they spontaneously did it again the next day, coincidentally following little media coverage of the first show. Performance one began during an on-the-tarmac presser late Monday night. The Democrats, arriving as they were from many hours on the beer bus and the maskless private and/or chartered flight (in violation of FAA rules and CDC guidelines), held their first presser quite late, on the tarmac of the airport, before departing to their temporary quarters in D.C. to weather the sacrifice and hardship of the trip.
