A year and a half ago, Clayton Tucker and I entered this race from opposite sides of the political aisle, but with one thing in common: We both believed the current Ag Commissioner was corrupt and we needed to clean house at the TDA (see video for Clayton's own words).
Fast layton is standing shoulder to shoulder with Sid Miller, the very politician we both set out to replace, and embracing his so-called "legacy."
Think about that.
After more than a decade of scandals, ethics violations, questionable judgment, and a culture of political favoritism at the Department of Agriculture, Clayton Tucker has decided to make common cause with the man responsible for leading it.
This is the same Sid Miller whose longtime political consultant pleaded guilty to commercial bribery involving the sale of state hemp licenses, and whom Miller subsequently hired as his chief of staff.
The same Sid Miller who faced ethics penalties over his use of public funds and campaign accounting.
The same Sid Miller who hiked fees on farmers and ranchers, millions of dollars over what he claimed he needed money for.
The same Sid Miller who led the Texas school lunch program to 44TH IN THE NATION.
Texans deserve better than political alliances built around personal grudges and protecting the old guard.
Clayton can call this partnership whatever he wants. But Texans can see what's happening.
I didn't run against Sid Miller just to inherit his political machine. I ran to change the way the Department of Agriculture operates, restore integrity, and put Texas farmers, ranchers, and families first.
You don't change the status quo by joining it.
Texas voted for a new direction in March. I'm not backing down from delivering it. #txlege

Great Frisco event last night for @JaredLPatterson. Great message on what’s been accomplished, what he & Republicans will address next year. And what’s at stake if conservatives stay home and don’t vote. #GoVote!

For the love of my grandkids just STOP!!! Pay down the debt. Please, no more free ice cream like Obama promises.
If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 2026 Midterm Elections, I’m going to give all adult citizens in the United States of America, $5,000! Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to signing those checks!Community noteThis $5,000 “Trump Dividend” promise was first made in Sept. 2026. Similar prior DOGE and tariff check pledges have not been paid out. It would cost ~$1.2 trillion and require congressional approval.

You're not going to believe how nasty Delta is.
Delta CEO Ed Bastian got caught trashing Elon Musk at internal meetings to explain why they rejected Starlink. But don't buy the corporate moral high ground for a second.
Delta tested Starlink, but Elon refused to let them trap acking portals to farm and sell user data. SpaceX wanted instant connection just like home, with zero data harvesting.
So what did Delta do? They signed with Amazon’s completely untested satellite network which won't even launch fleetwide until 2028. Strictly to monetize passenger information.
United flyers get 300 Mbps; Delta flyers get dial-up and a data harvest.

Since college athletes are being paid like pros colleges should have the ability to fine them like pros.

A joint statement from Texas Cattle Feeders Association, Kansas Livestock Association and Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association regarding the ongoing ICE operations in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas:
“The Kansas Livestock Association, Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association and Texas Cattle Feeders Association are closely monitoring reported U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity affecting agricultural communities in Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas.
Our organizations respect the responsibility of federal agencies to enforce the law. At the same time, cattle producers, feedyards, dairies, livestock markets, processors, and other rural businesses depend on a stable workforce to care for animals, protect food safety, and keep the supply chains operating. Sudden workforce disruptions can create immediate animal-welfare, operational, and economic consequences that extend well beyond an individual business. These ICE operations are having a massive chilling effect on the legal, documented, skilled workers that put beef on the table and keep the cattle supply chain moving. Additionally, these types of disruptions will lead to higher beef prices for consumers.
Reported impacts to our organizations throughout the past few days have been:
- Thousands of fed cattle slated for shipping to processors now delayed, resulting in millions of dollars in lost revenue and additional costs.
- Workforce disruptions at numerous supply chain chokepoints such as feedyards, dairies, processors, feed and grain companies, transportation hubs, and community services.
These disruptions come at a time of enhanced focus and pressure on the cattle and beef supply chain. They are a costly and unnecessary impact to cattle producers already suffering from unwelcome political interference to both the markets as well as the physical supply chain. Frustratingly, the harm these actions cause to cattle producers last for days and weeks after such operations conclude.
We urge federal officials to conduct enforcement actions in a lawful, orderly, and transparent manner; respect due process; and communicate clearly with affected employers and communities.”
