Three Democratic members of the Texas House of Representatives have tested positive for the coronavirus, according to the Texas House Democratic Caucus.
The three lawmakers are among House Democrats who fled to Washington, D.C., earlier this week to stave off GOP priority voting bills during the special legislative session. The three members who tested positive all have been fully vaccinated, which helps protect against severe illness.
On Friday night, one member tested positive for the coronavirus and immediately alerted colleagues, who, in addition to staff members, took rapid tests. On Saturday morning, two additional members tested positive after taking rapid tests. The cases were first reported by the Austin American-Statesman.

Does that mean the entire plane full of Texans is quarantined? I thought they were vaccinated? What's the real scoop? They're killing us, aren't they Joe?

I’m with #1. What’s the real truth? Your going to try to tell me these Dems had the Wuhan virus before they left. Flew on a plane with out masks. Naw. Do t believe any of it. Probably trying to avoid being arrested for leaving Texas instead of working.

Along with all the other pejoratives that have been applied to this bunch of losers we can add "plague carriers". How appropriate.

Place them in quarantine at the DC Jail.
They are more guilty of insurrection than the Trump people charged with it at the capitol.

I guess we need to quarantine all Democrats and the Washington DC metropolitan area. No laws or politicians in or out. To do so would be killing millions as Bidet would whisper.

Gee, that's too bad. FTA: "The three members who tested positive all have been fully vaccinated, which helps protect against severe illness." People's own immune systems help protect against severe illness, which has been exceedingly rare the entire time. Cheeky excuse to say the vaccinated victims have no severe symptoms of a disease that many people have had without having been aware of it.

Typical disease ridden democrats. I'm sure they have crab lice, herpes, and one or two other social diseases they're carrying with them. After all, democrats are pretty easy and sleazy.

It's time these Covid tests are called out for what they are. They're not that accurate. Your just as likely to get a false negative as a false positive. These tests are a shot in the dark when given.

It is NOT NICE to chuckle at the misfortune of others. However, those Dems wish ill on my and my family, so I hope that they suffer as greatly as they would have us suffer.

Guess its a good thing they left before they infected their fellow Republican House members. I'm sure the dems were all vaccinated? Funny how that works.

So, as they were vaccinated...seems those vaccines aren't all that effective, given the results in even a small sample.
