Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ted-cruz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted Cruz</a> (R-TX) and Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/marsha-blackburn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marsha Blackburn</a> (R-TN) called on the Beer Institute, a trade association that represents producers of the beverage, to examine whether <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/anheuser-busch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anheuser-Busch</a> improperly marketed to minors through a recent promotion between <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bud-light" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bud Light</a> and social media influencer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/dylan-mulvaney" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dylan Mulvaney</a>.
Bud Light garnered widespread controversy after the brand nodded toward Mulvaney, a man who claims to be a woman, by sending him a beer can emblazoned with his likeness. Cruz and Blackburn requested that the Beer Institute’s Code Compliance Review Board open an investigation to determine whether Anheuser-Busch broke the trade association’s marketing guidelines by soliciting a spokesperson with a large following among minors.
“We believe that Anheuser-Busch’s clear failure to exercise appropriate due diligence when selecting online influencers for its marketing efforts warrants detailed oversight by Congress,” the lawmakers wrote in a <a href="https://www.commerce.senate.gov/services/files/53A77108-4DBE-4430-88C0-E2325FC8F567" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to Brendan Whitworth, who serves as both chief executive officer of Anheuser-Busch and chairman of the Beer Institute.
The letter noted that Mulvaney has some 10.8 million followers on TikTok and 1.8 million followers on Instagram. Beyond the “Days of Girlhood” series that made the influencer a sensation, Mulvaney has videos in which he shopped for Barbie dolls in a Target store, dressed as a small child, and handed out merchandise to teenage girls at a mall.
“An objective survey of Dylan Mulvaney’s content clearly presents a faux, pre-pubescent girl persona that is created and presented to specifically appeal to young viewers,” the letter said.
Cruz and Blackburn referenced market research data noting that Instagram is an “ideal platform” for companies seeking to reach users between 16 and 24 years of age, while the majority of account owners on TikTok are between 13 and 24 years of age.
The lawmakers compared the Bud Light and Mulvaney partnership to the “discredited and now illegal marketing campaigns of cigarette manufacturers that used youth-favored advertising tools such as ‘Joe Camel’ in an attempt to develop early brand loyalty with children who were legally prohibited from smoking cigarettes.” They likewise cited comments from Alissa Heinerscheid, the former vice president of marketing for Bud Light who has since taken a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bud-light-marketing-vp-takes-leave-of-absence-amid-dylan-mulvaney-controversy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">leave</a> of absence from Anheuser-Busch, who said that “if we do not attract young drinkers to come and drink this brand there will be no future for Bud Light.”
Guidelines from the Beer Institute <a href="https://www.beerinstitute.org/policy-responsibility/responsibility/advertising-marketing-code/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">state</a> that companies should only seek to advertise on digital media platforms where at least roughly three-quarters of users are “adults of legal drinking age.”
The letter from Cruz and Blackburn, both of whom are members of the Senate Commerce Committee, occurs as previous consumers of Bud Light take their business elsewhere. Market data <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bud-light-sales-plummet-for-fifth-straight-week-as-customers-react-against-mulvaney-partnership" target="_blank" rel="noopener">indicate</a> that weekly sales for Bud Light have continued to decline by nearly 25% relative to the same periods last year several weeks after the initial backlash, even as other Anheuser-Busch brands which took hits could be starting to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/most-severe-backlash-against-anheuser-busch-may-already-be-over-some-brands-turning-a-corner-banker-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recover</a> from the controversy.

Executives for Anheuser-Busch have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/one-single-can-anheuser-busch-sends-letter-to-minimize-disastrous-mulvaney-backlash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">downplayed</a> the extent of the partnership and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bud-light-parent-company-taps-lobbyists-to-win-back-conservatives-upset-over-dylan-mulvaney-partnership" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hired</a> veteran Republican lobbyists in various efforts to win back conservatives who once consumed the brew. The company meanwhile seems to have offended those on both ends of the political spectrum: leftists and owners of gay bars across the country threatened to launch additional <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/left-wing-activists-furious-at-bud-light-for-backing-away-from-mulvaney-call-for-a-boycott-of-their-own" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boycotts</a> after the firm backed away from Mulvaney.

The world can see <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/china" target="_blank" rel="noopener">China</a> is not a &#8220;great power&#8221; as the U.S. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/congress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Congress</a> unites in demanding freedom for Mark Swidan, an American who has been &#8220;unjustly detained&#8221; for more than a decade, Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ted-cruz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted Cruz</a> (R-TX) declared on Tuesday.
Cruz spoke exclusively with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> days after the Democrat-controlled Senate <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-resolution/23/actions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed by unanimous consent his resolution</a> calling for the immediate release of Swidan, a move which followed the GOP-led House unanimously approving its own resolution <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3971913-house-unanimously-approves-resolution-demanding-china-immediately-release-detained-us-citizen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">making the same demand</a>.
Such a &#8220;powerful&#8221; display of unanimity demonstrates a &#8220;degree of focus and visibility&#8221; that is sure to be noticed by Beijing, according to Cruz, who noted that the Chinese Communist Party is &#8220;highly sensitive&#8221; to international pressure.
&#8220;The Chinese dictatorship does not like the world to realize that they are oppressive despots,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;Great powers do not hold hostages and China is not behaving like the great power it claims it wants to be.&#8221;
Chinese authorities arrested Swidan, a Houston businessman who is now in his 40s, in 2012 while he was on a business trip. Swidan was convicted in 2019 after being accused of taking part in a criminal drug conspiracy and given a delayed death sentence.
A Chinese court rejected Swidan&#8217;s appeal and upheld his death penalty with a two-year suspended death sentence, the State Department announced last month.
President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken &#8220;continue to remain personally focused on the release of Mark Swidan and other U.S. nationals wrongfully detained or held hostage across the world,&#8221; State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel said in a <a href="https://www.state.gov/mark-swidans-suspended-death-sentence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>.
Cruz&#8217;s resolution, which was co-sponsored by Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), warned Swidan&#8217;s health has deteriorated amid &#8220;inhumane&#8221; conditions, a lack of adequate medical care, and efforts to prevent family from contacting him. The resolution also made note of a 2020 United Nations working group <a href="https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/Documents/Issues/Detention/Opinions/Session86/A_HRC_WGAD_2019_72_AdvanceEditedVersion.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> that determined Swidan was being arbitrarily detained and should be released.

&#8220;Time is of the essence. It is now or never, I believe,&#8221; Cruz said on Tuesday.
The senator divulged that he has been in contact with Swidan&#8217;s mother, Katherine, noting she &#8220;desperately&#8221; wants to see her son come home. To that end, in addition to his resolution, Cruz said he has been &#8220;leaning on&#8221; the State Department to do more and met with China&#8217;s ambassador to push for Swidan&#8217;s release.
The State Department says Biden <a href="https://twitter.com/KellieMeyerNews/status/1650950782139654145" target="_blank" rel="noopener">raised the issue</a> of &#8220;wrongfully detained U.S. nationals&#8221; in a November meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Indonesia, and U.S. Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/envoy-made-rare-prison-visits-three-us-citizens-china-official-says-2023-03-24/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly met</a> with some of them, including Swidan, in recent weeks.
That&#8217;s not enough for Cruz, who said there are a number of &#8220;tools&#8221; that can be employed, such as exerting economic and diplomatic pressure to the point that China decides it is &#8220;not worth the hassle to keep Mark Swidan as a hostage.&#8221; Cruz said he plans to keep using his &#8220;leverage&#8221; in the Senate and posited that the president could make a huge difference with one small suggestion.
&#8220;As far as I know, Biden has never said the name Mark Swidan. That needs to change,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;The president needs to stand up and use the bully pulpit of the White House to call for his release.&#8221;

Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ted-cruz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted Cruz</a> (R-TX) slammed the Biden administration late this week over the ongoing catastrophe at the U.S.-Mexico border, saying that what is happening there is intentional and is a result of Biden&#8217;s policies.
More than <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-heads-to-beach-after-shattering-all-time-record-with-83000-illegal-aliens-storming-border-in-1-week" target="_blank" rel="noopener">83,000</a> illegal aliens crossed the border this week — the most in U.S. history — amid the ending of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/title-42" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Title 42</a>, a public health statute that was used at the border during the pandemic to help stem the flow of illegal immigration. In anticipation of its end, up to 700,000 people, including many from Central America, were waiting at the border for entry.
Cruz told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Friday night that Biden was &#8220;AWOL&#8221; and not doing his job while the U.S. is seeing &#8220;a national security crisis unfolding on our southern border.&#8221;
&#8220;On Monday, the Border Patrol apprehended over 10,000 illegal immigrants. Yesterday, the Border Patrol apprehended over 10,000 illegal immigrants. Those are both records,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;And this is a full on invasion. It is a crisis. And the Biden administration is cheering it on &#8230; they want this to happen. They want more people to come in, and they don&#8217;t care about the body bags that are piling up.&#8221;
&#8220;They don&#8217;t care about the women being sexually assaulted,&#8221; Cruz continued. &#8220;They don&#8217;t care about the children being brutalized. They don&#8217;t care about the over 100,000 drug overdoses that we had last year, two thirds of which was from Chinese fentanyl coming across the southern border. And I gotta tell you, my home state of Texas is paying the price. And in Texas, we are furious about it. We&#8217;re frustrated.&#8221;
Cruz later added that the volume of illegal immigrants pouring into Texas was &#8220;so massive that it defies words.&#8221;
&#8220;Democrat mayors are freaking out and declaring a crisis. The Democrat mayor of Chicago, the Democrat mayor of Washington, D.C., the Democrat mayor where you are in New York City declares it a crisis when he gets even a few illegal immigrants,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;We&#8217;ve had over six and a half million cross under Joe Biden and 50 show up at Martha&#8217;s Vineyard and the woke lefties there declared a full on humanitarian crisis.&#8221;

Immigration

Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ted-cruz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted Cruz</a> (R-TX) excoriated Democrats while visiting the U.S.-Mexico border on Thursday ahead of the massive influx of illegal aliens set to flood into the U.S. as Title 42 expires.
&#8220;We are witnessing an absolute travesty unfolding on our southern border,&#8221; Cruz told reporters Thursday evening. &#8220;On Monday, we apprehended over 10,000 people on the border, the highest level in history. On Tuesday, we apprehended over 10,000 people on the border, again, the highest level in history. There are, right now where we’re standing, more than 22,000 people camped just south of the border, getting ready to come across just in this location. In less than a month, we&#8217;ve had over 35,000 Venezuelans cross illegally, just right here.&#8221;
Cruz said that those numbers were just in the area he was visiting and do not represent the other areas along the 2,000 mile border that are being flooded by illegal aliens who are smuggled in by the Mexican drug cartels.
&#8220;And I have to say I am angry because this is deliberate!&#8221; Cruz exclaimed. &#8220;This is a decision that was made by President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and Congressional Democrats to open up the border to what is nothing less than an invasion. Ask yourself, ‘Why is President Biden not here? Why is Kamala Harris not here? Why is Elizabeth Warren not here? Why is AOC? She still owns the white pantsuit. Why is she not here with her head buried in her hands?’ Because they don&#8217;t give a damn about the dead bodies.&#8221;
Cruz noted that he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ted-cruz-hammers-biden-dhs-secretary-mayorkas-if-you-had-integrity-you-would-resign" target="_blank" rel="noopener">grilled</a> DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas at the end of March about how many illegal aliens had died trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border, which Mayorkas claimed he did not know. Cruz also pressed Mayorkas about the number of women and children who had been sexually assaulted — which he also could not answer.
&#8220;We&#8217;re witnessing modern day slavery,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;And maddeningly … the Biden administration has decided as they want more. Title 42 is expiring today. And you know what happens tomorrow, those numbers go up. This is an invasion and they want the numbers to go up. Let me say to the men and women from the Border Patrol who are heroes. They are extraordinary heroes. And we&#8217;re down here to tell them thank you, to tell them we love you, to tell them we got your back even as your political superiors are making it impossible for you to do your job.&#8221;
&#8220;The Biden administration is really proud now that they have apps on their phone, that when someone crosses illegally, they can fill out an application in two minutes. This is the Amazon version of illegal immigration!&#8221; Cruz added. &#8220;They&#8217;re gonna make it fast and deliver them anywhere in the country. We&#8217;ve seen six and a half million people cross illegally since Joe Biden became president and the administration wants six and a half million to be 10 million, to be 12 million, to be 15 million, to be 20 million. And the body bags that pile up, they can&#8217;t be bothered to worry about. I&#8217;ll tell you, the great state of Texas is on the front lines, the volume is overwhelming! It&#8217;s gotta stop!&#8221;

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed President Joe Biden this week for refusing to negotiate with Republican lawmakers amid a looming debt ceiling crisis, saying that Biden won&#8217;t engage because he is too far mentally gone.
&#8220;In 2011, when Republicans in the House stood strong on the debt ceiling, again, because Democrats had the majority of the Congress for two years had passed trillions and irresponsible spending, and Republicans stood strong and said, ‘We will not raise the debt ceiling without serious fiscal reform!’&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;What happened? Then Vice President Joe Biden came and negotiated a deal, a deal called the Budget Control Act, that was designed to cut $2.3 trillion in spending. It was the most significant federal spending reform in modern times.&#8221;
&#8220;Vice President Biden sat down with House Republicans and reached a meaningful compromise. President Joe Biden needs to do the same thing,&#8221; Cruz continued. &#8220;And I&#8217;ll say, sadly, the reason he hasn&#8217;t so far, I believe, is because his mental faculties are too diminished right now, to do what he did in 2011, to sit down and actually work together on a solution to the problems. And what we&#8217;re left with is a bunch of young staffers in the White House — radical children— who are perfectly willing to risk a default on the debt, because they have no appreciation of the chaos and misery and damage a default would do.&#8221;

TRANSCRIPT:
<blockquote>SEN. TED CRUZ (R-TX): In 2011, when Republicans in the House stood strong on the debt ceiling, again, because Democrats had had majority of the Congress for two years had passed trillions and irresponsible spending, and Republicans stood strong and said, ‘We will not raise the debt ceiling without serious fiscal reform!’ What happened? Then Vice President Joe Biden came and negotiated a deal, a deal called the Budget Control Act, that was designed to cut $2.3 trillion in spending. It was the most significant federal spending reform in modern times. That happened because Barack Obama blinked. And Biden, Vice President Biden sat down with House Republicans and reached a meaningful compromise. President Joe Biden needs to do the same thing. And I&#8217;ll say, sadly, the reason he hasn&#8217;t so far, I believe, is because his mental faculties are too diminished right now, to do what he did in 2011, to sit down and actually work together on a solution to the problems. And what we&#8217;re left with is a bunch of young staffers in the White House — radical children— who are perfectly willing to risk a default on the debt, because they have no appreciation of the chaos and misery and damage a default would do. We should not default on our debt. But the present path we&#8217;re on is unsustainable. And Joe Biden needs to come to the table. And I will say. It is a major victory for America that the day before yesterday, Biden finally blinked and said, Okay, I&#8217;ll sit down and talk. That&#8217;s the first step. Now the second step is let&#8217;s solve the problem.</blockquote>

Cruz: Biden Won’t Negotiate With GOP On Debt Ceiling Because ‘His Mental Faculties Are Too Diminished’

Debt Ceiling

Joe Biden

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed attempts by Democrats to smear conservative Supreme Court Justice <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/clarence-thomas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Clarence Thomas</a> during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing this week, saying that they were &#8220;engaged in the same despicable tactics&#8221; that then Sen. Joe Biden used back in the early 90s to smear Thomas.
Cruz&#8217;s remarks come after all nine Supreme Court Justices issued a rare joint statement last week, sending the message that it “unanimously rejects legislation proposed by Democrats seeking to impose on the justices the same ethics obligations applied to all other federal judges,” according to the <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/9-supreme-court-justices-push-back-oversight-raises/story?id=98917921" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AP</a>.
“Senate Democrats and their lap dogs in the media are engaged in a two-fold political campaign, number one to delegitimize the Supreme Court of the United States because they are angry that there are a majority of constitutionalists on the court,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;But number two, very directly, this is a political campaign designed to smear Justice Clarence Thomas, and the reason is simple. The Left despises Clarence Thomas, and they do not despise him because he&#8217;s a conservative. The Left despises Clarence Thomas because he is a conservative African American. Here&#8217;s what Clarence Thomas said at that confirmation hearing. He said, ‘if you are a free-thinking, African American,’ quote, ‘you will be lynched, destroyed and caricatured by a committee of the U.S. Senate.’”
“Well, in three decades, that hasn&#8217;t changed. It&#8217;s gotten worse,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And to be clear, here&#8217;s the Left’s view. I point to one article, just three weeks ago: ‘The Democrats need to destroy Clarence Thomas&#8217;s reputation. They&#8217;ll never successfully impeach him.’”
Democrats have tried to portray that a hit piece from a left-wing publication about Thomas&#8217; travels was proof of some type of corruption because he did not report the trips.
The letter from the nine justices last week appeared to address this issue, saying: &#8220;Matters considered here concerning issues such as travel, accommodations, and disclosure may at times have to take into account security guidance.”
Cruz continued by noting that Thomas&#8217; 109 trips since 1991 were less than the number of trips that some liberal justices have taken.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg was appointed in 1993 and she took 157 trips while Stephen Breyer was appointed in 1994 and he took 233 trips.

Yet another House Democrat is taking on Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ted-cruz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted Cruz</a> (R-TX), whose re-election campaign immediately shot back at the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/2024-election" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2024 election</a> challenger.
Rep. Colin Allred, a former Tennessee Titans linebacker and Obama administration official who has represented <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/texas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Texas</a>&#8216; 32nd district since 2019, announced his campaign on Wednesday.
&#8220;I’m running for U.S. Senate because Texans deserve a Senator whose team is Texas. Ted Cruz only cares about himself,&#8221; Allred said in a tweet.
In an accompanying video announcement, Allred knocked Cruz over various <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/obviously-a-mistake-sen-ted-cruz-admits-second-thoughts-about-cancun-flight-after-backlash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">political matters</a> and the incumbent senator&#8217;s record.

&#8220;Some people say a Democrat can&#8217;t win in Texas,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Well someone like me was never supposed to get this far. I&#8217;ve taken down a lot tougher guys than Ted Cruz. So let&#8217;s get on the field and find out.&#8221;
Cruz told supporters in February that he would seek a third term in the Senate &#8220;so we keep Texas red,&#8221; <a href="https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas/article/ted-cruz-says-running-u-s-senate-re-election-17782481.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to the Houston Chronicle</a>. The senator won re-election in 2018 against another challenger from the House, then-Rep. Beto O&#8217;Rourke, after Cruz ran for president in the 2016 contest. O&#8217;Rourke, who <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2018/12/07/Beto-ORourke-80-million-raised/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">raised $80 million</a> in his campaign against Cruz, then ran against and lost to Republican Governor Greg Abbott in 2022.
In the first quarter of 2023, Cruz&#8217;s campaign said the senator raised $1.5 million, <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2023/04/14/ted-cruz-campaign-fundraising-million/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">per the Texas Tribune</a>. At that time, before Allred declared, he had $2 million cash on hand.
After Allred announced his bid on Wednesday, the Cruz campaign fired back in a statement obtained by The Daily Wire and a graphic that labeled the Democrat a &#8220;puppet&#8221; for House Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

“Democrats have once again turned to a far-left radical to run for Senate. Not only does Colin Allred vote with Nancy Pelosi 100% of the time, but his voting record is completely out-of-touch with Texas,&#8221; said Cruz spokesperson Nick Maddux.
Maddux then argued that Allred&#8217;s record and values are out of line with what Texans want.
&#8220;Allred wants men to compete in women’s sports, isn’t serious about addressing the crisis at the border, wants to take away law-abiding Texans’ guns, and is soft on punishing murderers,&#8221; Maddux said.
&#8220;Bottom line, Allred is too extreme for Texas. Thankfully, the Lone Star State has a tireless champion in Sen. Ted Cruz. For over a decade, Sen. Cruz has been leading the fight for jobs, freedom, and security in Texas,&#8221; Maddux said. &#8220;As Senator for Texas, Sen. Cruz will continue to do everything he can to bring more jobs to Texas, fight out-of-control government spending, and support the oil and gas industry from the attacks of Democrats like [President] Joe Biden and Colin Allred.&#8221;

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) pushed for the death penalty in a statement Sunday for the illegal alien accused of murdering five neighbors after they asked him to stop shooting his gun because they had a baby that was sleeping.
Cruz made the remarks in response to a tweet from Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin that noted that officials have confirmed that 38-year-old Francisco Oropesa is an illegal alien and has previously been deported from the U.S. multiple times.
&#8220;Heidi &amp; I are praying for the victims’ families and for law enforcement to quickly catch this butcher &amp; bring him to justice,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;Once caught he must be quickly tried, and if convicted must never see sunlight again. This disgusting act deserves the death penalty, and I hope this illegal alien mass murderer gets it.&#8221;
&#8220;Joe Biden &amp; Kamala Harris made the deliberate political decision to open our borders &amp; allow SIX MILLION illegal immigrants to cross,&#8221; he added. &#8220;This death &amp; carnage is the predictable and tragic result. We must STOP the #BidenBodyBags&#8221;

The FBI then announced that it was adding $25,000 to the reward.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott subsequently <a href="https://twitter.com/GovAbbott/status/1652779108697362434">announced</a> that the state would add an additional $50,000 to the reward, bringing the total to $130,000.

The FBI’s field office in Houston released new photos of Oropesa on Sunday afternoon that appear to have been taken at three different moments in time because he is wearing different clothing and he appears to be in a government facility in each of the photos.

Ted Cruz Pushes Death Penalty For Illegal Alien Accused Of Murdering 5 In Texas

Crime

Death Penalty

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) over the weekend slammed partisan ethics reviews by Senate Democrats into three conservative Supreme Court justices.
Appearing on &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures&#8221; with host Maria Bartiromo, Cruz specifically responded to the political Left&#8217;s attacks on Justice Clarence Thomas.
&#8220;You know what Justice Thomas did wrong?&#8221; Cruz asked. &#8220;He&#8217;s been one of the greatest Supreme Court justices ever to serve on the court. He has been a principled constitutionalist. And the Left despises him. Democrats hate Justice Thomas and they save a special degree of hate for him because he&#8217;s a black man. And their view is that an African-American is not allowed to be a conservative, is not allowed to disagree with left-wing orthodoxy.&#8221;
Cruz noted that the political Left did not &#8220;heap that kind of contempt&#8221; on Justice Antonin Scalia, who was white and &#8220;every bit as conservative as Justice Thomas.&#8221;
&#8220;Justice Thomas, they view as a traitor, because he is African-American, and he&#8217;s an extraordinary justice,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And listen, the ‘ethics complaints’ they&#8217;re raising, every single Supreme Court Justice, all nine of them, take trips across the country, take trips internationally that are paid for by others. Many of the liberal icons, Ruth Bader Ginsburg took over 100 trips. Stephen Breyer took over 100 trips. Sonia Sotomayor took over 100 trips.&#8221;
&#8220;And all of the media, all the Democrats who are attacking Justice Thomas, they don&#8217;t care at all,&#8221; he added. &#8220;They&#8217;re not looking at any of the Democrat justices. They&#8217;re not looking at any other judges. This is a political smear job directed at Clarence Thomas because he is an extraordinary constitutionalist, and the Left hates him for it.&#8221;

Ted Cruz Blasts Partisan Democrat Ethics Reviews Of Conservative Supreme Court Justices

Ethics

SCOTUS

Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ted-cruz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted Cruz</a> (R-TX) on Sunday accused President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> of &#8220;behaving like a terrorist&#8221; in the fight over the debt ceiling as the prospect of default this summer looms large over Washington.
During an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbZzpQiakiQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> on Fox News, Cruz encouraged Biden to rethink his opposition to the legislation narrowly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gop-led-house-passes-mccarthys-plan-to-raise-debt-limit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> last week by the GOP-led House that would <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/four-gop-holdouts-explain-why-they-voted-against-mccarthy-championed-debt-ceiling-bill">suspend the debt ceiling</a> through March 31, 2024, or until an increase in debt of $1.5 trillion — whichever comes first — in exchange for a host of spending cuts.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve got some advice for Joe Biden on the debt ceiling, someone he should listen to. President Biden should listen to Joe Biden. Joe Biden in 2011 was the vice president,&#8221; Cruz said on &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

&#8220;Republicans had taken the House. Republicans held a hard line on the debt ceiling,&#8221; Cruz recalled. &#8220;And Joe Biden, then-vice president, went and personally negotiated the deal that became the Budget Control Act, a bill that was designed to cut over $2 trillion in our debt. It was the most significant fiscal restraint ever passed in modern times.&#8221;
Cruz said then-President Barack Obama did not engage in &#8220;this kind of irresponsible fear-mongering&#8221; that the senator argued is on display now and noted that Obama then sent Biden to Congress to negotiate a deal.
&#8220;That Joe Biden from 2011 needs to come back, not the guy they got right now locked in the basement and a White House that&#8217;s being run by 25-year-old radicals who figure, &#8216;Heck, just let it all default. What do we care?'&#8221; Cruz said.
&#8220;These are little Marxists with no experience in the real world. We need to bring back the Joe Biden who&#8217;s done this before. Not the one who is behaving like a terrorist, which is what Biden is doing right now,&#8221; he added.
Biden and his fellow Democrats, who control the Senate, insist on a “clean” debt ceiling bill separate from spending cuts or policy concessions. The president has ratcheted up the rhetoric during the standoff, accusing Republicans of espousing <a href="https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-kevin-mccarthy-debt-limit-schumer-98fb9543dd3434d9f8a5ace09cbb1eed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;wacko notions.&#8221;</a>

Cruz acknowledged the upper chamber, led by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), likely would not consider the House bill, but he urged Senate Republicans to put aside any differences and rally behind the House GOP proposal.
&#8220;Listen, at some level, unfortunately, Senate Republicans are never united. There are 49 Senate Republicans and 52 points of view. That&#8217;s just the nature of the Senate,&#8221; Cruz said.
&#8220;That being said, I think what we ought to be doing in the Senate is, we ought to be standing up and backing up the House Republicans,&#8221; he added. &#8220;The House Republicans are showing leadership right now. And Senate Republicans should stand shoulder to shoulder with the House and say: &#8216;Joe Biden, come to the table.'&#8221;

Ted Cruz Says Biden ‘Behaving Like A Terrorist’ In Debt Ceiling Fight

Ted Cruz Says Biden 'Behaving Like A Terrorist' In Debt Ceiling Fight

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed a hospital in Texas this week after an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/project-veritas-releases-disturbing-undercover-footage-from-gender-clinics-advising-10-year-old" target="_blank" rel="noopener">undercover video</a> allegedly showed a licensed social worker at the facility saying they had patients as young as eight years old receiving transgender treatments.
Cruz responded during a Wednesday interview with Newsmax to the footage that Project Veritas released last week of medical professionals at Austin-based Dell Children’s Medical Center.
“Heidi and I used to live in Austin, we&#8217;ve taken our girls to Dell,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;And last week, Veritas went undercover and got them on film explaining their policy is they will give puberty blockers and suppressors to children as young as eight years old. And I just think that&#8217;s horrific.&#8221;
&#8220;I think a child that is eight years old, does not have the maturity to make permanent life-altering decisions,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We see institutions across the country performing genital mutilation, performing surgeries where they remove perfectly healthy genitals from children, little boys or little girls, making them no longer able to have children for the rest of their lives. That is horrific. I think that&#8217;s child abuse.&#8221;
Cruz said he has partnered with Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) to look into what is going on at Dell Children’s Medical Center.
The two sent a <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/640947813/DAILY-CALLER-OBTAINED-2023-04-25-Cruz-Roy-Letter-to-Dell-Children-s-Medical-Center#">letter</a> to the hospital this week demanding the following information:
<ul>
<li>Please provide processes used by DCMC for diagnosing gender dysphoria.</li>
<li>Please provide all internal and external correspondence regarding the process DCMC used to determine why they began offering gender dysphoria treatment.</li>
<li>How many federal dollars did DCMC receive in the last fiscal year?</li>
<li>How many federal dollars were used in any activity related to gender dysphoria?</li>
<li>How many minors has DCMC treated for “gender dysphoria”?</li>
<li>What is the age of the youngest patient that DCMC has treated for “gender dysphoria.”</li>
<li>How many detransitioners has DCMC treated?</li>
<li>Does DCMC allow children under the age of eighteen to consent to experimental medical procedures? If so, what age may a child consent?</li>
<li>Does a child require parental consent in order to receive gender dysphoria treatment?</li>
<li>Is DCMC aware of the Texas Attorney General’s formal opinion declaring certain procedures to be child abuse? If so, how has DCMC responded to the opinion?</li>
<li>Has DCMC financially benefited from providing gender dysphoria treatments to minors?</li>
<li>What does DCMC estimate the long-term financial benefit of providing gender dysphoria treatment to be?</li>
<li>What process does DCMC have for staff to opt out of providing gender dysphoria treatment foreither conscience or other reasons?</li>
</ul>

Cruz Slams Hospital For Allegedly Giving ‘Puberty Blockers And Suppressors To Children As Young As 8’

Transgender

Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ted-cruz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted Cruz</a> (R-TX) slammed Democrats this week for trying to push Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) out of office, saying that he has never seen a party cannibalize their own this way.
Cruz made the remarks on his podcast &#8220;Verdict,&#8221; with co-host Ben Ferguson, while discussing Feinstein&#8217;s recent absence from the U.S. Senate as she battles shingles.
&#8220;Shingles, by all accounts is a horribly painful disease,&#8221; Cruz <a href="https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1648715731645636610" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;I&#8217;m grateful I haven&#8217;t had it. But everything I&#8217;ve heard about it, it sounds terrible. Shingles is also curable, it&#8217;s not a permanent affliction, but it is very painful while you have it. So Dianne has been out for a couple of months with shingles. She has been at home recuperating.&#8221;
Cruz then explained why Democrats are anxiously trying to push Feinstein out of office while she recovers.
&#8220;The Radical Left is pissed because while Dianne is gone, the Democrats no longer have a majority on the Judiciary Committee,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;Because they don&#8217;t have a majority, it means they can&#8217;t ram through their most radical and extreme judicial nominees. Now, most of their judicial nominees they can pass.&#8221;
Cruz noted said that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) votes to advance &#8220;almost every&#8221; nominee that President Joe Biden has put forward.
&#8220;He votes to confirm most Biden judicial nominees,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I vote against almost all Biden judicial nominees. But given that Lindsey votes for practically all of them, the Democrats can move almost the entirety of Biden&#8217;s judicial slate. The ones they can&#8217;t move are the most radical or the nominees that are so extreme.&#8221;
Cruz said that he and other Republican senators are working to stop attempts by Democrats to temporarily replace her on the Senate Judiciary Committee until she can come back.
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
&#8220;I don&#8217;t see any reason why we should be complicit in helping the Democrats confirm their most radical and extreme nominees,&#8221; Cruz said.
&#8220;Look, the Senate is a body with a crap ton of really old people, like, they&#8217;re a bunch of people in their 70s and 80s. I&#8217;ve served with a bunch of colleagues who are way past their expiration date,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;It&#8217;s striking to me that the only senator I&#8217;ve ever seen that a party has tried to drive out because of health is Dianne Feinstein. Listen, John McCain, who I served with for a long time, John McCain was hospitalized and was incapacitated for months. He was the Chairman of the Armed Services Committee. There was no effort throw John McCain out of the Senate, nor should there have been. I would not have supported that. I didn&#8217;t support that. It&#8217;s really striking.&#8221;
&#8220;By the way, right now, Joe Biden is profoundly mentally diminished,&#8221; Cruz continued. &#8220;None of these left-wing radicals calling for throwing Dianne Feinstein out are calling for throwing Joe Biden out. And by the way, to be clear, John Fetterman, the senator from Pennsylvania, has been medically unavailable and absent for most of this Congress. He&#8217;s been in the Senate only a few days since he was elected. And none of these radicals who are calling to throw Dianne Feinstein out are calling to throw Fetterman out. And so it raises an obvious question, why the double standard? Why is she the target of their ire?&#8221;
