Senator Ted Cruz

Representing the State of Texas in the United States Senate.

[Senator Ted Cruz @SenTedCruz]

Thank you to George Will for this piece.

The government has no right to do indirectly what the First Amendment forbids it from doing directly.

The Biden administration pressured Big Tech to silence Americans. The Supreme Court identified the problem, but Congress still has more to do to protect Americans' right to be free from government censorship.

My legislation—the JAWBONE Act—does exactly that.

[Shelley Moore Capito @SenCapito]

The Protect College Sports Act will preserve the longstanding tradition of college sports in America and provide stability and certainty for student athletes and programs alike.

[Senator Eric Schmitt @SenEricSchmitt]

We’re moving the ball down the field.

Our Protect College Sports Act establishes guardrails, protects student athletes, & allows schools to pool media rights to generate more revenue.

This isn’t a red jersey vs. blue jersey issue—it’s about protecting an American institution.

[Irish Illustrated @irishillustratd]

Notre Dame director of athletics Pete Bevacqua sent a letter of support to U.S. senators Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell, the co-sponsors of the Protect College Sports Act, ahead of the bill’s second markup period on Thursday.

[Senate Republicans @SenateGOP]

Remember, Senate Democrats defunded the Department of Homeland Security for 76 days to protect criminal illegal aliens like this person who plotted to massacre Americans.

🚨✈️NEW from Chairman @SenTedCruz on the introduction of the Hurricane Hunter Aircraft Recapitalization Act with Ranking Member @SenatorCantwell, @SenatorWicker, @SenLBR, @SenTedBuddNC, and @SenAlexPadilla:

"Hurricane Hunter aircraft are one of NOAA’s most important tools for protecting Americans along the coast during hurricane season, particularly in my home state of Texas. By flying directly into storms, they collect critical data that produces more accurate forecasts and earlier warnings. These forecasts help save lives, safeguard critical infrastructure, and reduce costly disruptions to ports, commerce, and supply chains. The Hurricane Hunter Aircraft Recapitalization bill will ensure @NOAA has the modern fleet and capabilities needed to continue delivering the reliable, accurate forecasts Americans depend on.”

@theACC

[Senator Ted Cruz @SenTedCruz]

Heidi and I are deeply saddened by the passing of Josh Baer and the tragic plane crash in Laredo.

Josh has been one of the most significant figures driving innovation and entrepreneurship across America. In Texas, he made our state a global leader. His impact was incalculable.

Our prayers are with his family and the others aboard the aircraft.

Texas is leading the way in reindustrializing America.

Glad to have Jensen Huang in Sherman, Texas today as Coherent and NVIDIA broke ground on a new silicon photonics lab.

[Daniel Turner @DanielTurnerPTF]

🚨 Radical climate groups could not win in Congress, so they went shopping for judges.

They want to bankrupt American energy and ruin the livelihoods of workers through activist courts.

The Stop Climate Shakedowns Act from @SenTedCruz & @RepHageman will put an end to this lawfare!

The B-52 crash near Edwards Air Force Base that claimed the lives of eight American servicemembers is tragic.

The aircraft, known as the “Spirit of Aggieland,” was familiar to generations of Aggies through flyovers above Kyle Field and its longstanding ties to Texas A&M.

Heidi and I are praying for the families of those lost and all who are grieving this tragedy.
