Ted Cruz

The protesters repeatedly yelled, "Vote for climate now!" while Cruz spoke about inflation in the United States.

The Texan objected to certifying Arizona’s electoral votes as rioters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The bill, which Cruz voted against in committee on Tuesday, would make a similar move in the future meaningless.

Lawmakers at the state and federal levels took to social media to decry the search and warn Texans that the heavy hand of government could come for them next.

At issue was a federal law that has been on the books for 20 years that barred federal candidates from raising more than $250,000 to repay loans made to their campaigns.

In February, Cruz and Cornyn voted against a similar bill that was inspired after Texas passed its abortion restriction law.

The U.S. Senate could consider the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act as soon as this week. Last week, Senate Republicans blocked the Freedom To Vote Act, a different election-related bill.

The hammer throw competitor turned away from the flag during the national anthem on Saturday after she said she was told it wouldn't play when she was on the U.S. Olympic trials podium.

First spotted at an airport by a social media user who posted his photo, there was an immediate outcry overnight that a U.S. senator would travel out of the state amid the worst storm in many Texans' lifetimes.

Cruz is getting blowback after the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol. Attorneys have rules of conduct, but the profession largely self-regulates.

The chamber has the power to expel or censure members for their conduct, though it's a rare occurrence. Only 24 have received such sanctions since 1780.
