Republican Sid Miller all but endorses Democrat for Ag Commissioner.
Someone is Cutting Down Republican Signs in Collin County
Democrat Influencers Are Baiting Republicans on Social Media
The Trans Flyer Going Around is Almost Certainly an Op
Ag Commissioner Sid Miller Has Reached Butthurt Levels We Didn’t Think Were Possible
Outgoing Ag Commissioner Sid Miller is so butthurt he lost his run for re-election as Ag Commissioner, that he penned a note (almost exclusively written by AI) all but endorsing the Democrat in his race.
In an op-ed first noticed by top txlege noticer Brad Johnson, Miller attacks Republican Nate Sheets in the Ag Commissioner race:
Miller goes on to compliment Democrat Clayton Tucker while saying his “loyalty has always been to Texas, not a political party.”
Mark McCaig ran Miller’s note in an AI detector and determined it’s around 91% AI written. Which is pretty hilarious considering Miller is very outspoken against data centers:
Miller once considered himself a “RINO Hunter” and now he’s out here basically endorsing Democrats.
You hate to see it.

Democrat Influencers Are Baiting Republicans on Social Media
Carlos Espina, a “Community organizer and Immigrant rights activist” who promotes his “14 million followers” on social media, posted some bait on X that got quite a lot of traction:
The post, where Espina says he’s “one of the millions of Latinos who are dissatisfied with the Republicans” received over 7k likes on X and over half a million views.
Espina’s careful wording makes it seem as if he’s a former Republican, however Espina has been voting Democrat for years and even spoke at the Democratic National Convention:
Don’t take the bait!
The Trans Flyer Going Around is Almost Certainly an Op
Republican voters on social media are up in arms over a pamphlet that went out to, what seems like, mostly Republican primary voters, offering a “Texas Trans & LGBTQ+ Student Resource Guide”:
Influencers and voters across Facebook and X posted the flyers, incredibly upset that they seemingly targeted the students in their household.
Many people are saying this is a conservative/Republican operation meant to anger/worry Republican voters into hitting the polls.
Time will tell if it worked!
