Demanding Texas Democrats Show Up to Work or Face the Consequences – Twitchy

Attorney General Ken Paxton is not playing footsies with the runaway Democrats. They are trying to ensure a quorum can’t be reached and holding up business in Texas. Paxton wants to declare their seats vacant. Sounds like a plan. If they refuse to get to Texas and represent their constituents (what they were elected to do), they shouldn’t  have the job. Period. 

New: @KenPaxtonTX files suit at SCOTX to declare 13 House Democrats’ seats vacant. Petition: https://t.co/a9iF0WYMoV#txlege pic.twitter.com/VcfVEEPGPT

If one refuses to show up at work when required, one deserves to be fired. https://t.co/Voxv3SogFR

Seems to be the only way that is fair. 

The 13 House Democrats are: Reynolds, Talarico, Goodwin, Flores, Hinojosa, Plesa, Lalani, Bucy, Turner, Wu, Ramos, C Morales, and J Gonzalez

Paxton is serious. 

What happened to “targeting political opponents”? https://t.co/c3jvsUxGfj

Oh, they learned from the best … the Democrats who have gone non-stop after Donald Trump. What’s good for the Donald is good for the gander.

Isn’t it glorious.

Corrupt politicians in Texas are kicking democratically elected officials out because they refuse to vote how they want.

This is what dictators do. https://t.co/mxEGhEgLWB

Gavin had to cry about it in his typical whiny baby fashion. Conservatives just sit and laugh. 

Unlike Abbott, Paxton has balls. https://t.co/ldU6a1Q1Th

They should approve this by midnight. https://t.co/qP7Mv8j34j

I hope they all lose their seats. If you don’t show up to work after being told, over and over, you lose your job. Simple. https://t.co/0d1qdiHaqT

Honestly, you shouldn’t have to be told to show up for your job even once. Adults just know to do that!

They are doing it and I am glad because Democrats get away with way too much! https://t.co/swUAZ7nE4t

The GOP never plays hard ball and it’s about time they did.

Good. I’d be fired if I refused to do my job. The cowardly Texas Dems should be held to the same standard.

They tried to run and hide from doing their jobs for the people, if they aren’t present to do said job, then the seats need vacated!

— Steddy Recovery (@SteddyRecovery) August 8, 2025

The people deserve representation and if they aren’t showing up for their job, the voters deserve elected officials who listen and care about them. 

No different than consequences any of us would suffer for walking off the job.

Bingo!
