DAN MARINO -- yes, that Dan Marino -- is TED CRUZ'S guest today at the GOP steering lunch.

MARINO will discuss college athletics. CRUZ's NIL/college sports bill was up in committee today.

[Senator Ted Cruz @SenTedCruz]

If Congress fails to act, college sports could become a mini-NFL: 30 to 50 schools with real programs and everyone else left behind.

That would be tragic for fans, schools, and the more than 500,000 student-athletes competing across America.

College sports bring us together, but more importantly, they give young men and women a path to education and a brighter future.

Aryna Sabalenka and Naomi Osaka will face each other in the Roland Garros Round of 16.

Aryna leads the head to head 2-1.

She’s also won their last 2 matches, both coming this year, one of which was on clay.

The last time Naomi beat her was in 2018.

Who wins?

[Senator Ted Cruz @SenTedCruz]

College sports is one of the few institutions left in America that still brings us together.

That is worth protecting.

My bipartisan Protect College Sports Act brings order to the chaos and preserves the teams, rivalries, and traditions fans love.

Great to join @ClayTravis & @BuckSexton.

[Team Cruz @TeamTedCruz]

“This is a pro-athlete, anti-chaos bill.”

Well said by @codyc64 on the @PatMcAfeeShow.

James Talarico is a remarkably strange individual.

[Macarena Martinez @macamrtz]

Ah yes, Beto, the very savvy political expert who definitely didn’t lose three elections. Democrats should take all of their advice from him

Beto O'Rourke on MSNBC: "I don’t think the conditions can get any better for Democrats. … This is as good as I’ve seen it in my lifetime." #TXSEN

[Ted Cruz @tedcruz]

Happy 25 years of marriage to my amazing wife, Heidi.

I am endlessly grateful for the beautiful family and life we’ve built together.

[Ted Cruz @tedcruz]

What the hell is he eating?

It’s not BBQ—because Talarico is passionately anti-meat.

Is that a tofu log?

Election Night: Paxton Defeats Cornyn—What Happened, Why & What’s Next

Ted Cruz on #txsen: "It's time to unite to make sure that Texas stays Texas. James Talarico is radical, dangerous, and does not represent the values, ideas, or principles of the Lone Star State. Defeating him is critical."

[Ted Cruz @tedcruz]

Congratulations to Attorney General Ken Paxton on tonight’s victory. He has my full support and endorsement as the Republican nominee. Ken is a fearless conservative who spent years taking on Texas’s toughest battles as Attorney General and has proven that he will always fight for and defend the Lone Star State. He will continue that fight in the U.S. Senate, and I look forward to fighting alongside him.

I also want to congratulate and thank my friend Senator John Cornyn for his many years of dedicated service to Texas and our country. It has been an honor to serve alongside him for over a decade. He spent decades fighting for the Lone Star State, and his service in the Senate has left a significant mark on Texas and the nation.

Heidi and I are grateful for his friendship, and we wish John and his family the very best.

Now, it’s time to unite to make sure that Texas stays Texas. James Talarico is radical, dangerous, and does not represent the values, ideas, or principles of the Lone Star State. Defeating him is critical.
