RELEASE: My statement in advance of the Electoral College certification process on January 6, 2021.
By rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, President Biden indicates he’s more interested in the views of the citizens of Paris than in the jobs of the citizens of Pittsburgh. This agreement will do little to affect the climate and will harm the livelihoods of Americans.
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.
I’ve signed a letter with a group of bipartisan lawmakers calling for members to not receive a salary unless Congress passes a budget.

At least 40 executive actions and counting for President Biden.
Cruz: Senate Judiciary Committee to Subpoena Twitter CEO to Get Answers on Censorship
Following ’s disturbing promotion of “Cuties,” I sent a letter calling on to investigate whether Netflix, its executives, or the filmmakers violated any federal laws against the production and distribution of child pornography.
We cannot have Election Day come and go with a 4-4 Court. We risk a constitutional crisis if we do not have a 9-Justice Supreme Court, particularly when there is such a risk of a contested election.
We are one vote away from losing our fundamental constitutional liberties. I believe should nominate a successor next week and the Senate should take up and confirm that successor before Election Day.

Today I voted to reject House Democrats’ Article of Impeachment and to acquit Donald Trump.

The spending bill the Senate is voting on tomorrow is lobbyist boondoggle that belongs in an ashtray.
Today I was joined by 10 of my Senate Republican colleagues in submitting an amicus brief to #SCOTUS. In our brief we present our argument in defense of laws that combat election fraud & expressed our support for the petitioners in the case of Brnovich v. DNC.
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.
After nearly two weeks of the #ImpeachmentTrial, the Senate just voted to move forward without additional witnesses by a vote of 51-49. We have heard more than enough. The House Managers failed to make their case. It is time to acquit .
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.
Why should the American people care about Hunter Biden & #Burisma?
The answer is simple: there is significant evidence of corruption.

TUNE IN TOMORROW 📺: I’ll be joining at 9am CT to discuss my effort to restore Americans’ faith in our electoral process and protect our democracy.
Today I penned a letter to Attorney General William Barr, Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, and FBI Director Christopher Wray calling for an investigation into Antifa under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).
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.
Today I voted against the Senate’s attempt to override ’s veto of the #NDAA.
Read my full statement here ⬇️
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.
This partisan #impeachment process is driven by Democrats’ anger – anger that the American people elected .
After receiving a fair trial in the Senate, POTUS will be acquitted forever.
Americans desperately need border security.
We don’t need 87,000 new IRS agents to monitor Venmo transactions.
IMPEACHMENT DAY 3: House Democrats have inadvertently thrown Joe Biden under the bus
If Joe Biden took bribes—he should be impeached, removed, and thrown in jail.
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.
Now is the time for leaders to stand up and defend America unapologetically.
RT if you agree.
The right thing for the Senate to do regarding the #SCOTUS vacancy is to take up ’s nomination and confirm the nominee before Election Day.
VERDICT: Not Guilty.
After more than 4 months, & 's partisan #impeachment is OVER.
Today on behalf of 28 million Texans & all Americans, I voted to defend the Constitution, reject Democrats’ sham #ArticlesOfImpeachment, and acquit .
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.
Week 2 of the Biden administration and he has already signed more executive orders than 15 presidents signed in their entire tenures in office.
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
WATCH: Senator Cruz DESTROYS the Deputy Director of the FBI over his refusal to discuss allegations that Biden took $5 million in bribes from Ukraine.
We need a full court on Election Day. The Senate must do its job and confirm a successor.
FACT CHECK: Democrats deny Biden corruption
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.
. brought forward a clean bill that does one thing & one thing only--it pays the salaries of the . If hadn't objected that would have passed. could have signed it tonight. The paychecks could have gone out right now for every Coast Guardsman
THEN
Dems on Clinton impeachment: innocent until proven guilty!
NOW
Dems on Trump impeachment: guilty until proven innocent!
Dems can flip flop all they want. The Senate will respect due process & provide a fair #ImpeachmentTrial for .
We can’t afford this $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. It’s irresponsible.
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 urge the Department of Justice to immediately investigate and prosecute this grotesque act of domestic terrorism.
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.
Read my op-ed on why President Trump must nominate a successor next week and why the Senate must confirm that successor before Election Day. 👇 fxn.ws/3hQAkSm
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.
I am disappointed DOT Secretary Buttigieg is engaging in politics rather than addressing the very serious transportation crises we are seeing playing out across America.
Silicon Valley billionaires should not be able to determine the outcome of our elections.
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
Yesterday a majority in the Senate said: “we’re done, we’ve got enough, this is over.”
The President is going to be acquitted of these #impeachment charges – as he should be.

RELEASE: Sen. Cruz Calls on DOJ, FBI to Provide Transparency to James Comey & Andrew McCabe’s Contradictory Testimony
The Republican Party is not the party of the country clubs, it’s the party of hardworking, blue-collar men and women.
Joe Biden and the Democrats want to give illegal aliens $1,400 COVID relief checks.
I proposed an amendment to prevent that from happening.
Today and I introduced an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to impose term limits 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.
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.
Excellent to see #StandWithHongKong & sign the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, which includes my bill calling for reevaluating privileges for #HongKong in light of encroachments on HK's autonomy by the Chinese Communist Party.

President Biden squandered an opportunity tonight.
It was an angry, divisive, and fundamentally dishonest speech.
#SOTU
.’s pardon for was the right thing to do. The Obama-Biden administration weaponized the , FBI, & intel community to destroy their political opponents. It was abusive, it was lawless, and it was political persecution.
REMINDER: China is the greatest geopolitical threat to our country.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris should be ashamed of themselves for suing the state of Texas.
Texas has been forced to address the problems the Biden administration created.
#BidenBorderCrisis
Heidi and I would like to wish you and your family a merry Christmas and blessed new year. May God continue to watch over the United States and the great state of Texas.
PREVIEW of tomorrow’s @senjudiciary #Rosenstein hearing: We’re looking for the truth about the Obama Administration officials who weaponized the FBI and DOJ to target and entrap the incoming administration.
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.
I just came from Hong Kong and it was incredible to see millions of people standing up for freedom & democracy. Those are values Americans and American companies including the should defend – not apologize for.
It’s clear Joe and Kamala don’t have a plan to solve the border crisis.
There is a deep distrust in our democratic processes that must be addressed. That’s why I’m calling for a 10-day emergency audit to resolve serious allegations of voter fraud, not dismiss them out of hand.
Glad to meet with and thank members of our for their service. I am grateful for their selfless commitment and sacrifices to defend #Texas and our great nation.
Democrats wanted Senate impeachment witnesses because they failed to prove their case.

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.
The violence we've seen from Hong Kong police in response to peaceful protests is shameful. I will continue to support those speaking out against tyranny & fighting for freedom.
President Biden’s immigration EOs illustrate that today’s Democrat Party puts people here illegally – or attempting to come here illegally – before American workers. I will continue to fight to secure our border, reform our legal immigration system, and uphold the rule of law.
No petty government official should tell you or your kids they have to take the vaccine.
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.
Reestablishing trust in our democratic processes should be a bipartisan objective.
What price will it take for Joe Biden to end his war on American energy?
