Texas Democrats in Illinois end two-week walkout, return to the Lone Star state – Chicago Sun-Times

Gov. JB Pritzker did not issue a response to the departure of the Texas Democrats, but a campaign aide pointed to a series of tweets the governor made Saturday: “When the @TexasHDC first asked me for help in their fight against Trump and Abbott’s power grab, I told them they had me at hello. For the past few weeks, that fight has been here in Illinois, as we provided safe haven for members enduring threats of violence and arrest. Thanks to them, the world knows what’s happening in Texas and Democrats have a plan to push back."
