There is real change in the air in Texas, y'all. When a lifelong Trump Republican and a Democrat sit down together on national television to call out Greg Abbott and the Big Tech billionaires threatening our water, land, and livelihoods, you know something BIG is happening.

NEW POLL: The race for Texas Agriculture Commissioner is a STATISTICAL TIE! The Ultra Wealthy have spent years rigging the system against working Texans, but this race shows we have a real shot at fighting back.

Lampasas, TX - Clayton Tucker, Democratic candidate for Texas Agriculture Commissioner, issued the following statement following an op-ed published today by outgoing Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller calling his fellow Texans to not vote for Republican nominee Nate Sheets:

I’m proud to have passed a law allowing pregnant women to vote by mail in Texas. If you are voting by mail, remember to apply for your ballot ASAP: MyTexasVotes.com

I flipped a Republican seat in 2018, and I’m ready to do it again. Texans are ready for change, and I’m ready to work for the people.

NEW AD: Introducing SCANDUEL! The only betting app where you can parlay Ken Paxton’s scandals — and get paid! Here’s a tip: Always bet that he did the thing. 💰

“If your concern for women disappears the moment accountability becomes socially inconvenient, then protection was never the principle to begin with. Performance was.”

NEW AD: Today on House Hunters, Ken Paxton is shopping for a new house. Will he buy the three-story luxury lodge in Oklahoma? The condos at a wellness resort in Utah? The ocean-view property in Hawaii? (Spoiler alert: He won’t take one — he’ll take 15.)

In a Cornell University fraternity house and in the empty silence of phone screens, Jane Doe was being given the message that so many of our daughters hear every single day from their politicians, pastors, fathers, and peers: you just don’t f*ckin’ matter. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/cornells-j...

What if I bring egg nog to my job interview and slowly drink it in front of you while maintaining eye contact?

The answer I'd *like* to hear from a Dem candidate when asked about sports and trans folks: "You know, there are the same number of dragons dying of fentanyl overdose as there are trans women trying to play professional sports. Can you ask a real question?"

Our music and our memories are being wiped out. AMERICA built this city. Not a president. Join us!

I enjoyed Mike Luckovich for years, and then he created this cartoon. I sat and cried for several minutes. Then I cut it out of the Los Angeles Times, and I've kept it ever since. Thank you, Mr. Luckovich.

At some point, “history will judge them” isn’t enough. Corruption. Gerrymandering. Closing polling locations. The damage is happening NOW. So should the accountability. #VoteBlue 🗳️ #SheShed

I spent LBJ Day with his daughter, Luci Baines Johnson. I’m running for her father’s Senate seat to continue LBJ’s fight for education, healthcare, and economic opportunity for all.  I’m honored to be in this fight with Luci. In November, we’re going to win back her dad’s seat.

The story isn't that federal monitors show up. It's that nobody in the state government knows they're coming. In November, that same surprise scales up roughly five hundred times. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Rest in Power, Dolly ✊🏼

One of the great parts about growing up as a Gen Xer was Dolly Parton was EVERYWHERE when we were kids. She was on the radio, showing up on television, in great movies. And no one was ever like "You know who I'm fucking sick of? That Dolly Parton." A glorious time to be alive.

Our people are tired of being afraid, of hiding in bathrooms and corridors, waiting for the worst. So today, we celebrate life, our flag, our city, and our freedom. ​These are our people, who live and work under constant threat of death, the never-ending drone buzz, and regular explosions.

Shock gloves don't belong in our schools.

We have another food outbreak. No silver bullet to fix this, but there is a silver buckshot. We need to fully fund food safety and make food local again.

Two Black mayors took cities that the country loves to write off and made them measurably safer. That’s not a fluke. That’s a blueprint. Chicago and Baltimore just posted numbers that should be front-page news. They’re not. We need to talk about why. 🧵 www.theroot.com/opinion-blac...

Who doesn't?

It's important we use Woke 2 as a decoy and put a bunch of stuff in it. "We will and must ban HGTV." "Abolish Olympic dressage." "Mandatory colonoscopies at age 25." We run on Woke 5.

Water security is economic security. We cannot sacrifice our water, as without it, nothing else really matters. Let's put Texans first when it comes to our water.

This is a must read!

We are who we remember, and honoring that service is a sacred obligation that I bring to my work in Congress every day.

Six weeks of silence. Then an unsigned “doctor’s statement.” No named physician. No public appearance. And a photo that again looks suspiciously artificial. If this is meant to reassure people, it’s doing the opposite. 🤨 #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AAN94ktM1R12...

ICE has STOLEN an Indigenous Tribal ELDER from NM, who was on her way to CHEMO. She stopped for gas, ICE then approached her, she showed all of her proper, legal documentation. They still stole her away. They're denying her of life saving CHEMO. When will it be enough. #ShedShed #ViVaHerAlliance

Now y’all know damn well that if Mitch McConnell had a “D” next to his name, Republicans wouldn’t wait another day to call a special election. Beshear needs to proceed. And if you don’t understand why, stop pretending you want Dems to fight harder. @govandybeshear.bsky.social #KYSpecialElection
