Senator Ted Cruz’s Tweets

Today my colleagues and I reintroduced a constitutional amendment to impose #TermLimits on Members of Congress. The amendment would limit U.S. senators to two six-year terms and members of the U.S. House of Representatives to three two-year terms.

It is time to end the crisis at our border. And the only way we will end this crisis is for Congress to stop the political posturing and solve the problem: close the loopholes so that children are not subject to exploitation as they are right now.

Today I questioned Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg about Facebook’s past censorship of conservative groups. I asked if the same actions had ever been taken against liberal groups, but did not get an answer.

In the same week that we got good news for free speech with Elon Musk buying Twitter, the Biden administration launched a brazen attack on free speech by creating a Ministry of Truth headed up by someone who is no stranger to spreading disinformation.

Don’t be fooled by President Biden's claim that climate day at the WH = jobs day. Just because he says it’s “jobs day” doesn’t mean it’s true. Today’s climate EO would result in the loss of over 80,000 blue-collar jobs in Texas -- the most of any state.

Twitter openly censors speech based on political ideologies and makes a mockery of our Constitutional liberties. If Elon Musk can turn that around to actually protect free speech and encourage open discourse, Twitter’s full potential will be unlocked.

We have millions of Americans out of work, millions of kids not going to school, and Democrats are not trying to fix those problems. Instead they want to go through a circus of an impeachment that they know is doomed to failure.

Tonight House Dems concluded their partisan show trial, voting to impeach a president for the 1st time in US history without alleging a single law was violated. As a member of @senjudiciary, tomorrow I'll join to discuss what happens next.

What’s happening in the House has become an absolute circus. A show trial. A propaganda trial. When the Senate takes up Democrats' #ArticlesOfImpeachment, we will have a fair proceeding, a proceeding that respects due process, that allows both sides to present their case.

There should be no debate about whether or not to protect innocent life and allow a child – who is breathing, who is crying, who is outside of the womb – to live. But that’s exactly how extreme the radical Left has become. #prolife

Hollywood is complicit in China's censorship & propaganda in the name of bigger profits. That’s why today I urged my colleagues to pass my SCRIPT Act, a bill that would cut off federal resources to Hollywood studios when they censor films on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party.

. and ’s censorship of the story on a meeting between Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, and Burisma is an obvious and transparent attempt to influence the upcoming election. That’s why today I sent a letter seeking answers behind this censorship.

Antifa is a terrorist organization composed of hateful, intolerant radicals who pursue their extreme agenda through aggressive violence. Time and time again their actions have demonstrated that their central purpose is to inflict harm on those who oppose their views.

I rise on the Senate Floor today because our democracy is in crisis. We have an obligation to protect the integrity of our elections, and that's why I am calling for an Electoral Commission to conduct an emergency audit to examine voter fraud allegations.

What Democrats are doing is profoundly irresponsible. Millions of Americans are losing their jobs, small businesses are closing, people's lives are at risk, and Congressional Democrats are more interested in playing partisan games than providing much-needed relief.

If this report is true, this is nothing short of a massive victory for life and will save the lives of millions of innocent babies. But while I continue to wait for the Supreme Court's ultimate opinion, I am appalled by the shocking breach of trust posed by this leak. 1/x

Every American has a right to peaceably express their freedom of speech. That doesn't include: ✖️Rioting ✖️Looting ✖️Lighting police cars on fire ✖️Attacking fellow citizens Law enforcement must be unequivocal: If you do that, you will be arrested, prosecuted, and put in jail.

It was dismaying to hear my Democrat colleagues today continue their totalitarian calls for #BigTech to silence dissent and censor more voices. That is very dangerous if we want to maintain a free and fair democracy and free speech.

My message to #BigTech: By labeling posts, you’re taking a policy position. When taking a policy position, you’re acting as a publisher (even under current law). You can’t pretend to not be a publisher AND get “corporate welfare” benefits under #Section230.

Today’s decision, sadly, was driven by politics, not science. Let me be clear: there should be no more COVID mandates, no mask mandates, no vaccine mandates, no vaccine passports, no lockdowns, and no school closures.

Today is the 1st day of the confirmation hearing for Amy Coney Barrett, a respected judge who is supremely qualified to serve on #SCOTUS. Unfortunately, Democrats have been working to attack her integrity and smear her reputation. I am fearful we will see more of the same today.

Thank you to Shelley Luther and the team at Salon a la Mode for giving me my first haircut in 3 months & more importantly for standing up for liberty and common sense. Your courage helped pave the way for more #TX businesses to re-open & for more people to get back to work today.
