A nationwide ground stop is a rare but major disruption. It appears to be related to FAA's ARTCCs. @FAANews will be updating Congress and the flying public about the problem, but the incident highlights the need to prioritize modernizing ARTCCs over other projects.

No new ARTCC has been built since LBJ was in office. It's why Chairman @SenTedCruz successfully got $1.9 billion in Working Families Tax Cut Act to replace and consolidate outdated ARTCCs.

We are in touch with @FAANews and @SecDuffy who are working to resolve this issue quickly and safely.

[Secretary Sean Duffy @SecDuffy]

The @FAAnews issued a nationwide ground stop for all U.S. airports following a communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers. FAA technicians are investigating the issue. We will provide immediate updates as we have them.

"Protecting college sports is not only about preserving competition. It is about protecting the opportunities, experiences, relationships and development that can shape who a student athlete becomes long after the final whistle. This bill does exactly that."

Read @umterps lacrosse player AJ Larkin���s piece in @baltimoresun urging the House to pass the Protect College Sports Act.

The clock is ticking, let's get this done.

RELEASE: Sens. Cruz, Cantwell, Colleagues Applaud Unanimous Senate Passage of Bipartisan, Bicameral Comprehensive Weather Forecasting Bill

https://t.co/2UY6ITnnDJ

[Senate Commerce Republicans @SenateCommerce]

⚡️ NEW: Tonight, the Senate unanimously approved the bipartisan, bicameral Weather Act - a comprehensive weather forecasting bill.

More than a dozen bipartisan bills are in the Weather Act, including Chairman @SenTedCruz's @NOAA Weather Radio Modernization Act, which upgrades weather radio equipment to make broadcasts of emergency notices during severe weather more reliable and accessible nationwide.

This bill, along with many other measures in the Weather Act, came about in response to gaps identified after the deadly July 2025 floods in Texas’s Hill Country.

Today, we honor the brave men and women who wore our nation’s uniform and answered the call to defend our freedom.

To every veteran in Texas and across America, and the families who stood beside you: thank you. We owe you a debt we can never fully repay.

[Senator Ted Cruz @SenTedCruz]

Great to welcome business leaders from East Texas to Washington.

We discussed the challenges facing farmers, ranchers, and small businesses in East Texas and what Congress can do to address them.

East Texans have common-sense, conservative values. I'm going to keep fighting for lower taxes, more jobs, and lower costs for hardworking Texans.

[Senator Ted Cruz @SenTedCruz]

President Trump has rightly said that Somaliland is "a totally different country" than Somalia. That is exactly the correct policy. It is long past time for the U.S. to recognize Somaliland.

Today I questioned the nominee to be Ambassador to Somalia to confirm that he agrees President Trump's position. He declined to do so.

I told him that whether he is confirmed or not will depend on whether the State Department follows the President's guidance.

[Senator Ted Cruz @SenTedCruz]

Abilene showed up big for Dyess last week, and I was proud to be there as we broke ground on a new facility for the B-21 Raider.

I fought to keep the B-1 flying at Dyess through 2030 as we prepare for the arrival of the B-21.

Dyess has a proud history of defending America, and we're going to keep it that way! 🇺🇸

[Senator Ted Cruz @SenTedCruz]

Happy 251st birthday to the United States Marine Corps.

For generations, Marines have answered the call to defend our nation with courage, honor, and sacrifice.

Semper Fi!

We are fast approaching the 2nd anniversary of the deadly aviation crash at DCA. Productive negotiations have taken place between the House & Senate. Congress should finish its work & pass an aviation safety bill.

More in my @KCStar piece.⬇️https://t.co/BYjHsT31eZ

[Senate Commerce Republicans @SenateCommerce]

Last December, the Senate unanimously passed Chairman @SenTedCruz's bipartisan ROTOR Act and nearly 2 years after this tragic accident, safety loopholes remain.

Aviation Subcommittee Chairman @JerryMoran is right��� the time to pass aviation safety legislation is NOW.

[Senator Ted Cruz @SenTedCruz]

For decades, Dyess Air Force Base has played a critical role in America's long-range bomber operations.

I've authored and passed into law multiple pieces of legislation protecting B-1 operations at Dyess as the Air Force prepares to transition to the B-21 Raider.

Yesterday, I attended the groundbreaking ceremony for a $78 million B-21 mission planning facility at Dyess.

Texas and Texans will continue to lead advancing the safety and security of Americans.

Heidi and I are praying for Senator Chris Murphy and his family.

Grateful to hear he’s awake, alert and responding well to treatment. Wishing him a full and speedy recovery.

Arctic Frost represents the most egregious abuse of power in the history of the Department of Justice.

Jack Smith obtained the private donor information of at least 336 Texans for exercising their constitutional right to participate in the political process.

We still do not know the full extent of these and related violations, but we do know that there has been vastly insufficient accountability for the violations we do know about.

[New York Post @nypost]

Jack Smith got draft GOP fundraising emails, Trump donor info, documents show https://t.co/wmOLcGO0rl
