    My read on it is that some collaborator douchebags in the party tried to force their bullshit ideas on the rest of the party by telling the media it was bound to happen but then they just got contradicted by a public statement from their leadership.

    After our initial reporting online and on television, a spokesperson for the Texas Democratic Caucus sent the following statement to ABC News:

    “Members are still assessing their strategies going forward and are in a private meeting to make decisions about future plans currently,” he wrote. “If and when Texas House Democrats breaking quorum decide to go home is squarely dependent on the actions the Governor, Speaker, and Texas Republicans in charge make with regard to prioritizing flood victims over redistricting that hurts Texans.”

    Honestly not sure how they can justify keeping that headline with this additional information
