It's the biggest story in politics right now: In order to deny Texas Republicans the quorum needed to pass egregious voter suppression laws, Democrats in the Texas state house literally left the state, and can't come back for at least three weeks.

First, we reconnect with early podcast guest TX Rep. Erin Zwiener to get into the details on how they came up with their secret plans to leave, the security concerns, and the sacrifices they made (including Erin needing to bring her three year old daughter with her). Then we talk with Rep. James Talarico, a former school teacher turned youngest-legislator-in-history who's been making waves for a turn on Fox News where he called out the bullshit. This episode is a little longer than usual but it's worth every second. You can learn more about Erin at erinforyall.com, and follow James on Twitter at @JamesTalarico. Produced by Dear Media.
