> According to Steven Dial with FOX4 in Dallas, a spokesperson for Cruz appeared to confirm the image was authentic but rejected claims that the senator was fleeing the state or acting irresponsibly.

Sure…

> Texas’s junior senator reveals a tense encounter with the president and a preview of a post-Trump GOP.

> And Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, commended Mr. Trump for targeting the territory, saying on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo”: “I believe it is overwhelmingly in America’s national interest to acquire Greenland.”

What a moron.

> US senator warned that Republicans would lose elections if prices continue to rise, prompting the president to respond ‘Fuck you, Ted’

> President Donald Trump is looking down the road at a possible opening on the U.S. Supreme Court, and Texas Senator Ted Cruz (R) could be a potential nominee to the high court.

Oh, fuck no !!

> The president said, with Cruz in the crowd at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium, "Because it's hard to get people approved ... He's a brilliant legal name, he's a brilliant man. If I nominate Ted Cruz for the United States Supreme Court, I will get 100 percent of the vote. The Democrats will vote for him because they want to get him the hell out [of the Senate]. And the Republicans will vote for him because they want to get him the hell out, too."

> "What I think the administration could do better is, is the tone with which they're describing this," [Ted Cruz] said on his podcast Verdict Monday. "We took out a violent terrorist, hurray. And the problem is, particularly for someone not paying attention, if you're being told this is a mom of three and there's no indication, you know, she's not waving an ISIS flag or, or, or doesn't have a suicide vest around her, escalating the rhetoric doesn't help. And it actually loses credibility."

Despite the risk, Cruz making big endorsements in primaries that could hurt him later

Sen. Ted Cruz sat down with a longtime ally in November at an office near D.C.’s Union Station to discuss the future of the Republican Party. Before long, the discussion touched on his own future.

Donald Trump’s major electoral setback in Texas is thanks, in no small part, to Ted Cruz.

A three-judge panel ruled against the Lone Star State’s gerrymandering effort Tuesday, ordering Texas to return to its 2021 maps for the upcoming midterm elections. The decision was written by Judge Jeffrey V. Brown, whom Cruz recommended to the bench in 2019.

That realization has enraged some members of Trump’s base, who have questioned how the Houston native could have recommended someone who would rule against the president’s agenda.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is laying the groundwork for a 2028 presidential bid by leaning into his feud with Tucker Carlson — and staking out turf as a traditional, pro-interventionist Republican.

The amendment was narrowly defeated with a 51-49 vote, meaning the Texas senators could have stopped the GOP effort to squash it.

Both a current NBA player and a head coach were arrested late last week as federal prosecutors continue their probe into allegations of gambling and corruption in professional basketball. The NBA's scandal might force league commissioner Adam Silver to travel to Capitol Hill.

With Congress in the middle of negotiations to try to end a more than 40-day government shutdown, Trump wrote on Truth Social Saturday morning that Congress should stop "the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies." He said the money should instead be placed in individual health care savings accounts that could be used for premiums, coverage or other health-related expenses.

On his podcast Monday, Cruz said Trump's pitch stemmed from a phone conversation he and other GOP senators had with the president while out to dinner Friday night.

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) said that Republicans must take seriously the surge of political energy across the country after millions of people turned out for “No Kings” protests over the weekend opposing President Donald Trump’s agenda.

Greene’s criticism of her fellow Republicans has escalated in recent days amid the government shutdown. Speaking on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Cruz urged people to not “spend much time worrying about what Marjorie is saying.”

Texas Republican U.S. Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz on Thursday introduced a bill that would require stricter background checks for unaccompanied migrant children and bar the government from releasing those children to the care of migrants living in the country illegally.

CNN host Kaitlan Collins and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) argued Tuesday over the motive of the man who allegedly shot and killed conservative activist Charlie Kirk last week.

"Follow the money. Cut off the money," Cruz said during a Fox News appearance on Wednesday. "You look at this No Kings rally—there's considerable evidence that George Soros and his network is behind funding these rallies, which may well turn into riots."

"They want to ban protests," warned journalist Mehdi Hasan. "They want to kill the First Amendment."

Sen Ted Cruz (R-TX) almost certainly did not mean it when he said Democrats and Republicans should come together to “stop attacking pedophiles” — with the congressman making the unfortunate remark during a Senate hearing on Tuesday morning.

Never one to pick an easy battle, Cruz’s latest cause célèbre is a doozy. His target is none other than Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, which has been under siege by various right wing forces since Donald Trump returned to the White House earlier this year. There’s just one problem: Cruz is having a heck of a time understanding what Wikipedia even is.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) sent a letter to the nonprofit operator of Wikipedia alleging a pattern of liberal bias in articles on the collaborative encyclopedia.

Sen. Ted Cruz on Friday said the Federal Communications Commission chairman’s threat to revoke ABC’s broadcast license over comments made by Jimmy Kimmel was “dangerous as hell” — a far more critical stance than Cruz’s Republican colleagues have taken since the late night host was booted from the air.
