Man, I had tons of fun with that Dune TC for Civ 4.

Civ 5 was still pretty damn good too.

“We love America just as much as they do. But in a different way. You see, they love America like a 4-year-old loves his mommy. Liberals love America like grown-ups. To a 4-year-old, everything Mommy does is wonderful and anyone who criticizes Mommy is bad. Grown-up love means actually understanding what you love, taking the good with the bad and helping your loved one grow.” -- Al Franken

The TX legislature is a part time job and gets paid hardly anything. Most reps have normal, regular jobs, not to mention a spouse, children, and all that stuff.

Can you fork over $500 a day when you're not at work?

While I would have loved for them to stay away longer, trying to act like it was just a matter of cojones is horrendously naive.

DC is a federal district, so he actually has some legal footing here, unfortunately.

He doesn't have this ability in any other city.

CA is already moving forward with theirs. IL will probably be able to get one or two more seats (it's already heavily gerrymandered). NY will likely do so as well, but can't change the maps in time for the 2026 midterms Maryland is also similarly gerrymandered like IL - maybe one more seat there.

You can't filibuster a bill using the reconciliation process.
