Senator Ted Cruz
@SenTedCruz
Representing the State of Texas in the United States Senate.
Thank you to @POTUS & @FLOTUS for their hard work in helping pass my TAKE IT DOWN Act into law. Their invaluable contributions ensured this legislation was passed nearly unanimously, and Americans and their children are safer online because of it.
Three times, the Senate parliamentarian was on the verge of stripping Cruz’s amendment, and three times, he fought back. Find out how👇 dailysignal.com/2025/07/18/ove…

CRUZ on @kiii3news: “We have funded $24 billion dollars to make the largest investment in the Coast Guard in the history of our country.”
Ted Cruz made sure school choice made it back into the Big Beautiful Bill after the Democrat-appointed Parliamentarian took it out. He also led the charge for school choice in Texas. Senator Cruz is a FIGHTER for parental rights in education.
I applaud President Trump and @SecRubio on this major victory. Last month, I co-led a letter with @SenBrianSchatz and 16 other Senators urging @SecRubio to continue efforts to bring home wrongfully detained Americans, including Texans, held in Venezuela. I’m glad to see these…
Nothing says freedom like the American flag. Ten Americans freed from Venezuelan prisons today are coming home because of @POTUS, @SecRubio & @nayibbukele. America First in action.

How did @tedcruz convince the president, the House, and the Senate parliamentarian to pass the most far-reaching school choice measure on the books? “I made the argument to [President Trump] that there was no provision in this bill that would have a greater legacy than the…
The Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization. American allies in the Middle East and Europe have already labeled the Brotherhood a terrorist organization, and the United States should do the same. Let’s get this done. 👇

My meeting with Secretary of the Army Daniel Driscoll focused on the Army Transformation Initiative (ATI) and the vital, strategic role Texas plays in advancing the Army’s modernization goals. Given the Army presence at the Corpus Christi and Red River Army Depots, Army Futures…

Cryptocurrency represents financial freedom, innovation, and privacy. A Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) would undermine all of those. My bill ends CBDCs. I applaud the House of Representatives for passing this bill, and I call upon my colleagues in the Senate to take it up…
There is no one better than Arielle Roth to lead the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). Arielle has consistently fought to defend taxpayers, free speech, and kids online. I urge my colleagues to support her nomination.
Thanks to @SecDuffy and @POTUS's leadership, Texas will continue to have control over the way its residents seek to handle their environmental review. The signing of this historic agreement with @TXDOT will save Texans and Americans time and money.

In Nov 2023, the Democrat Judiciary Chair shut down debate on Biden judicial noms & proceeded to a vote, over multiple Republicans' objections. Republicans warned this decision created a dangerous precedent. Today, Democrats were faced with the consequences of their own actions.
Today I signed an agreement with @TxDOT to let Texas better manage its environmental reviews. This is about getting Washington bureaucrats out of the way. Slashing red tape ensures bridge and highway projects are completed faster, saving TIME and MONEY. @POTUS and @USDOT…
At a little after 2 a.m. this morning, the Senate passed what I hope is only the first round of DOGE cuts. Included are cuts to NPR and PBS, which have abused federal funding to push a radical agenda on Americans for too long. We need to continue permanently eliminating waste,…
My investigation of the California High Speed Rail project called out this fiasco. Today, President Trump ended DOT funding for the long-troubled project. I appreciate the President and Secretary Duffy’s swift action to protect taxpayers from this boondoggle.
Governor Newsom and California’s high speed rail boondoggle are the definition of government incompetence and possibly corruption. The price tag has gone from $33B to $135B with no completion date in sight. We could give every single LA & SF resident almost 200 free flights…
