Clayton Tucker for TX Agriculture Commissioner Clayton Tucker is running for Texas Agriculture Commissioner to make food and farming affordable again.

My opponent, Sid Miller, is Trump’s biggest Bootlicker in Texas, so it’s no surprise he is posting BS about ICE. Standing with those who cosplay as police but are too chickensh*t to show their faces, and who execute people in the streets, is un-American.

The AI bubble is coming to mess with TX. With these data centers come higher power/water bills & little to no real long-term jobs. They are for the benefit of Wall Street, not Main Street.

Trump administration to shut down LGBTQ youth suicide hotline The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline will no longer utilize its LGBTQ youth service line starting July 17. The Trump administration says the move will "focus on serving all help seekers."

In 30 days, LGBTQ+ youth will lose the life-saving suicide hotlineβ€”a program that’s supported over 1.3 million young people.

When folks are in crisis, this admin chooses cruelty over careβ€”every time.

But this is the party of β€œfamily values,” right?

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE.

Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpasβ€”and the community was not having it.

Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

The Mystery of ICE’s Unidentifiable Arrests In early March, the agency announced that it had arrested forty-eight people in New Mexicoβ€”a month later, their identities and whereabouts remain unknown.

ICE officers are now reportedly required to meet arrest quotas each day, from a few hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 nationwide. Jonathan Blitzer reports on the mystery of the agency’s unidentifiable arrests.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people β€” many without removal orders β€” scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.

This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

Union members submit a jaw-dropping 320,000 signatures β€” more than double the required amount β€” to put a referendum on the ballot against the legislature’s bill banning public employee unions from collective bargaining.

Democrats, Stop Being Timid and Start Being Mean! Democratic messaging is failing to meet the moment. It’s time for the party to embrace the anger and rage of its base.

Stop being nice, fellow Democrats! Republicans are criminal psychopaths and we could at least give them a good tongue lashing. What is this with playing nice? It’s like taking a knife to a gun fight.
