News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I quoted the part where it says they came back to the capitol on Monday for the next 'special session' that starts Wendesday.
I did read the whole article, so im not sure what you think I missed. Dems say this is "phase two" where they try to block things in Texas courts, the very same courts Republicans bring every national issue to because judges side with them 100% of the time?
Why stop "phase one" since it actually accomplished something by preventing the vote? Now they'll pass the vote, redraw the district lines, and dems will expect an "attaboy" for pretending like they actually accomplished something when their cases get thrown out of court making this whole exercise entirely pointless. Did they think Republicans would just forget all about this if they delayed it for a week until just after the redistricting passed the Texas senate? Please.
This is just more kayfabe. They're putting on a show for all of us while they work together to pass this garbage both in Texas and the rest of the nation. It's interesting that you want to pick an attitude with me to defend the people robbing you of your nation and its future. Maybe you should redirect that anger toward the people who keep 'losing' to Republicans on purpose.
Using kayfabe as a metaphor is saying you underestimate the seriousness of the situation.
It's quite the opposite which is why I'm speaking out about it. In what way are you taking it seriously by wasting your time trying to police my language and give cover to these corrupt assholes who are helping to further cement their control over our nation?
