Representing the Lone Star State in the U.S. Senate.
Official Instagram of U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX).
Four years ago, a deranged and evil madman took the lives of seven people and injured many others in Midland-Odessa.
Heidi and I are praying for the community, families, and loved ones of victims of this awful tragedy.
We will always honor the lives lost that day.

Two years ago, Kabul fell to the Taliban.
The images of Afghans hanging from planes continue to be emblematic of Biden's disastrous foreign policy and chaotic withdrawal.
The world is much more dangerous today because of his weakness and appeasement.
Our nation owes an enduring debt and thanks to our servicemembers who served in Afghanistan.

4 years ago, we witnessed pure evil in El Paso.
We will never forget the 23 people who had their lives taken.
We pray for the families and loved ones who lost someone on that awful day—and we will always remain El Paso strong.

Proud to support this year’s NDAA, which will equip our service members with the resources they need to defend our national security here at home and abroad.
I was honored to push across the finish line six provisions in the bill, including a measure to ensure that existing B-1 bomber wings, one of which is at Abilene’s Dyess Air Force Base, remain in service through at least ‘26 unless replaced by newer B-21 bombers, preserving our long-range strike capabilities.

New bridge projects for South Texas is one of my top priorities in the Senate.
Billions of dollars worth of commerce flows through Laredo—it’s inexcusable to have a massive backup of trucks crossing between Mexico and the Lone Star State.

My message to the Biden administration: Permit these damn bridges. It’s past time that we get them built.
This means more jobs, higher wages, and more opportunities in South Texas, and incredible economic growth for the U.S.

The original intent of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve was to ensure that America had sufficient oil reserves in the event of an emergency.
We are unnecessarily and dangerously undermining our national security in any instance that we sell any part of this stockpile to the Chinese Communist Party or any company under its control.

Our Strategic Petroleum Reserve is a critical part of our national security. It is absolutely inexplicable that we'd sell some of that crude oil to the Chinese Communist Party or any company under its control. I’m proud to lead the bipartisan effort to stop this from ever happening in the future.

The late Justice Scalia testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee and stated that the Constitution is written so the Supreme Court can protect us from unified power.
I’m committed to defending this separation of powers.

Texas will continue to be an oasis for jobs as long as the federal government stays out of the way.
People and companies are moving to Texas in droves because of the good paying jobs and the great investment opportunities.

Having a wide-open border has consequences.
President Biden’s political decision has let millions of illegal aliens into Texas and the United States, and it will yield deadly results.

@foxnews : Sen. Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio ban the term 'Latinx' in new bill: 'ridiculous terminology’

I am proud to partner with Senator @marcorubio on the Respect for Hispanic Americans Act.
Like Senator Rubio, I am the son of an immigrant from Cuba who came to America seeking a better life.
This important legislation will prohibit the federal government from using the made-up term “latinx.”
I look forward to the Senate passing this into law so Hispanic Americans from Texas and across the country will not be subject to wokeness like this from their federal government.

The FBI and the DOJ are the most political in American history.
They are stonewalling and refusing to give answers about documents containing information regarding President Biden allegedly taking bribes from a foreign nation.
This is a disservice to the American people.

If the IRS whistleblowers are telling the truth, Merrick Garland covered up for Hunter Biden and has protected Joe Biden throughout the whole investigation.
This contradicts his entire testimony in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Bidenomics is a DISASTER for families across Texas and America.
💰The Average American family has lost $10,000 from inflation
📉 Real wages are down 3.2% since Biden took office
👔 55% of retirees went back to work because they needed more money
🏦 Retirement savings accounts are down 20% since last year
