Obama: "That well-known evil empire Canada. That historical adversary of ours. Canada! *laughs* It's your neighbor. It's a few minutes' drive over the bridge! These are the people who gave us Martin Short and maple syrup. They are the nicest people! And someone we've gotten them so mad."

The Pentagon just approved the testing of DEWs, “heat wave weapons” at the border. We went from “Build the Wall” to “Microwave the People”… What dystopian chapter of American history is this?! SICK. FUCKING. BASTARDS. 😎✨

Texas family farms are struggling to survive, and young Texans are being priced out of agriculture. Hemp could help change that. It's a drought-tolerant cash crop that could bring new income to family farms, keep land in the family, and give the next generation a chance to make a living farming.

This is absolutely horrible! A nonverbal student with special needs was walking to Santa Maria High School when ICE agents tackled him, restrained him, and left him with a broken wrist requiring surgery, according to witnesses and school officials.

The racist attacks from Mike Rogers and Donald Trump might actually be helping Abdul El-Sayed win over voters on the fence. Black folks especially remember the racist birther attacks against Barack Obama and the deliberate emphasis on his middle name, Hussein.

If you have to lie using AI, you’ve already lost the argument. A Republican-backed PAC sent voters an undisclosed AI image of Michael Shepard burning someone’s money. Washington voters deserve facts. They deserve transparency. And they deserve better than being manipulated by false images.

October 23, 2026: a car left the MDC with two children. The children had no seat belts, and the driver was leaving erratically. It is unclear if they were family or detainees, but usually parents don't bring children to a prison at 10:30 on a Friday night.

There are 42 flock cameras between Austin and Dallas. I’ve seen this rodeo before. I was a water/ag researcher where I visited other countries, including China. We don’t need this kind of warrantless mass surveillance in Texas. Sign our petition if you agree >> www.claytontuckertx.com/flock

HILLARY CLINTON: "I continue to believe that Putin has things on Trump. I continue to believe that he is holding photos, videos, whatever it might be... "When we finally see all the Epstein files, I think even the people who supported Trump are going to be shocked by what it shows about Trump."
