Not that kind of Dr. Engineer turned voting rights activist. When you spell out Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the character of people who oppose DEI becomes much more clear. Spell it out!

Karoline Leavitt: “Neither the president nor his family has ever engaged—or will ever engage—in conflicts of interest.” Trump: Makes $2 BILLION last year, including at least $117 million from international developments, which *all* pose conflicts of interest.

Thousands of incarcerated people are legally eligible to vote but have been blocked from casting their ballot. This widespread erosion of voting rights is driven not by laws, Bob Libal writes, but by a lack of infrastructure and misinformation. Here’s the solution: bit.ly/4wyVFXr

Twenty-one Texas counties are now under emergency quarantine orders. The longer this outbreak spreads, the greater the risk to our ranchers, our food supply, and the price Texans pay at the grocery store. It's time to act before this gets even worse.

The last thing Texas needs is a screwworm outbreak that's bigger than what's being reported. Every delayed report gives this pest more time to spread through livestock, threaten ranchers, and put even more pressure on food prices. Let's get ahead of this before it becomes a bigger crisis.

Overlaid text includes the RFD-TV logo and the headline: “Some Ag Leaders Are Concerned Screwworm Cases Aren’t Being Reported.” The words “Screwworm Cases Aren’t Being Reported” are highlighted in red, while the rest of the text is white.

Most Texans have never heard of "artificial daylight." But ranchers say massive data centers are lighting up the night and disrupting livestock breeding cycles. These Corrupt Bigshots shouldn't get to experiment on our communities and our food supply.
News graphic from Localize showing a herd of cattle standing in a feedlot. Two circular inset images appear above the herd: one shows a rancher standing among cattle, and the other shows a brightly lit data center complex at night. Large text reads: “Texans say data centers are creating ‘artificial daylight’ disrupting livestock breeding cycles.” The graphic highlights concerns from ranchers that intense lighting from nearby data centers may be affecting livestock behavior and reproduction. The Localize logo appears in the upper left corner.

This is exactly why Texans need to take the screwworm threat seriously. What starts with livestock can quickly affect pets, wildlife, and the food supply that families depend on. We need an aggressive response before this becomes a larger crisis.
