Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), Texas’s senior senator up for reelection in 2026, announced on Thursday that FBI Director Kash Patel agreed to his request for federal agents to help Texas law enforcement track down and return runaway Democratic lawmakers.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) hit back at the idea of federal agents coming into his state to detain the Democratic lawmakers who fled there. Pritzker told Jessica Yellin on her News Not Noise podcast on Wednesday, saying, “The fact is that you know our local law enforcement protect everybody in Illinois. Our state troopers protect everybody in Illinois and anybody who’s here in Illinois.” He added that “if you haven’t broken federal law” and are in his state, “there’s no way” you can be arrested by the FBI.
Of course Kash “Epstein totally killed himself, trust me bro” Patel signed off on hunting down democrats
How bout you help track down those Epstein files that used to exist but now supposedly don’t.
The fbi already know what’s inside the epstein files…
Yes but they seem to have misplaced everything they’ve been referencing for the past year
I hope this isn’t just wishful thinking and is a warning to the FBI that they will be resisted.
Release the Epstein files
They are not fugitives from the law nor are they slaves to the republican agenda. What human beings are willing, able and tasked with the responsibility to prevent this?
Very much so an abuse of power.
This country is in a bad way when we’re considering this normal.
They will track down democrats, yet they won’t release the Epstein files? Curious 🤔
Which would be illegal for the FBI to do. But that does not matter anymore in the US.
I wish I could just not show up for work and still have a job.
In this case, you can argue that “not showing up” is doing their job, since they’re protecting the voice of their constituents.
Republicans:Dems in Texas are currently 25:12 (one vacant seat), versus if they had truly fair districting, it would be 21:17.
They want to push it even more extreme. That seems unfair, and undemocratic to me.
Oh, shut up.
Get your head out of your ass
Pretending this is some sort of work ethic problem is hilarious. Who is this for?
