Judge blocks Beto O'Rourke from funding Texas Dems who fled to stop GOP redistricting vote

Ruling blocks O'Rourke and his nonprofit from funding Texas Democrats who fled state to break legislative quorum

Fahey's order bars O'Rourke or his group from continuing to fundraise or provide financial support to the fleeing Texas Democrats. The ruling came only hours after Paxton's office filed a petition for a temporary restraining order against O'Rourke. 

A Texas judge ruled Friday against Beto O’Rourke and his nonprofit in a case brought by state Attorney General Ken Paxton, who accused them of illegally raising funds to support Democratic lawmakers fleeing the state to block GOP redistricting legislation.

 Tarrant County District Judge Megan Fahey handed down a temporary restraining order Friday evening against O'Rourke, a former congressman and Democratic presidential candidate, and his group, Powered by People, over alleged "unlawful fundraising practices" tied to efforts to support Texas Democrats who fled the state — including funding air travel, lodging, logistics and daily fines. 

 "Defendants have and will continue to engage in unlawful fundraising practices and utilization of political funds in a manner that either directly violates or causes Texas Democratic Legislators to violate [the law]," Fahey wrote in her Friday evening ruling. "Consumer have and continue to suffer irreparable harm through these unlawful acts because they are making political contributions that are being used to fund personal expenses and violate state law."

This is easy!!

O’Rourke said Paxton was trying to “make examples out of those who fight so that others won’t.”

“Paxton is trying to shut down Powered by People, one of the largest voter registration organizations in the country, because our volunteers fight for voting rights and free elections, the kind of work that threatens the hold that Paxton, [President Donald] Trump and Abbott have on power in Texas,” O’Rourke said.

Paxton responded on social media: “Cry more, lib.”

Beto would have kept his mouth shut if he wasn't mad. Kinda like you need to learn to do.

Now, you are dismissed.

Ya gotta keep 'em agitated..    Everybody thinks everybody is rigged, corrupt and conflicted.  Meanwhile, Trump cheats and moves the ball onto the fairway.  Last week it was gonna be sanctions on Russia..  This week coming it's a Heil Hitler dinner gathering in Alaska.

Doe he wear flip flops on the golf course?

He better keep an eye on Vance, Bondi, and Patel..  They are up to some kind of MAGA Trilogy of getting rid of orange doom azz before the 2026 mid terms.  You are gonna get crushed.  I bet even with all the help from Mr. Gerry Mandering you'll still lose seats.   Lose the Senate and Trump is Toast. Or Impeachment pie..  With whipped orange shyt.

14.5 Months left.. The clock is ticking.  Mandami winning this year might cause y'all to go J6 helter skelter...  again.

Nope. Angry people say things like this....

“F*** the rules, we are going to win whatever it takes,” O’Rourke shouted. 

Now, tell me how it was "made up" again!! That one was really a funny like nothing you've said before.

Next you'll be gaslighting us with "this isn't mad" or something.

Oh wait, you can't respond now can you??
