Eric Lucero, a Minnesota state legislator, posted a series of tweets on July 21, 2025, addressing political and policy issues in the state.

In his first post at 15:27 UTC, Lucero commented: "Um, yikes !! https://t.co/rsufxPsLk8".

Shortly after, at 15:42 UTC, he criticized Governor Tim Walz's potential bid for a third term by stating: "Hmm, @Tim_Walz may run for a 3rd term despite million$$$ in fraud, his supporting sanctuary state policies, his inflicting crushing hardship on hardworking Minnesotans, and more. https://t.co/oCWdEXT7s9".

Later that day at 16:07 UTC, Lucero addressed healthcare costs with the message: "Another year, another Obamacare broken-promise price hike. https://t.co/Bvi5aFBfxW".

Eric Lucero is known for his critical stance on Democratic policies in Minnesota. Governor Tim Walz has served as Minnesota’s governor since January 2019 and previously represented Minnesota’s 1st congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives. The mention of "million$$$ in fraud" refers to ongoing concerns about government oversight and accountability within some Minnesota programs during recent years. Additionally, debates over healthcare premiums have persisted since the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (commonly known as Obamacare), with critics citing rising insurance costs while supporters point to expanded coverage.
