Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has become the subject of much bemusement among his Senate GOP colleagues as he has taken a detour from his role as a conservative rabble-rouser to playing the lead on reauthorizing the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The Texas senator, long-known for stirring up trouble for leadership, has suddenly
gone in the reverse as he has prodded Republicans against gumming up the works for the last must-pass bill in Congress for months. But the irony is not lost on lawmakers who have watched Cruz’s mischief up close and personal, especially on government spending battles throughout the years....

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Texas voters said they’re leaning more toward sending Sen. Ted Cruz back to Washington rather than unseat him in November, according to new polling numbers released Wednesday. The April poll conducted by the University of Texas and the Texas Politics Project showed the two-term Republican incumbent leading U.S. Rep.
Colin Allred, his Democratic challenger, by double digits. Pollsters asked a group of 1,200 registered voters between April 12-22 who they would support in the U.S. Senate race if the election was held today. A plurality of the respondents (46%) said they’d vote for Cruz, while 33% shared...

Cruz knocks Greene’s ‘silly’ threats to oust Johnson

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) knocked Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) effort to oust Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) as “silly,” while praising him as a “strong” conservative. “I
think it is silly,” Cruz said during this Thursday appearance on RealClearPolitics’ radio show. “I think it is seriously counterproductive. I think Mike Johnson is a strong conservative who has been given an almost impossible task. He has a tiny majority in the House, just a two-vote majority,” he continued. “That means any three House members run off to the hills, and then the majority evaporates.” Cruz said that Greene’s effort, which was...

I would think that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer would recall when his predecessor Senator Dirty Harry Reid from the great state of Nevada made some critical errors on how to conduct Senate business that would later come around and bite them ( democrats) in the rear. No
one has ever accused Chuck though of being a deep thinker.If you don't recall why Chuck should have learned from Harry not that long ago, here is a brief reminder from the year 2013, when Harry screwed the Senate and Democrats in the chamber. Eight years later in 2013, it would be...

Over the last few weeks, I’ve received messages from friends, many of whom were concerned about Senator Cruz and the 2024 election. Well,
a new poll confirms that Mr. Cruz will win. This is from Marist: Cruz 51, Allred 45. By the way, the RCP average is Cruz +7.3, and no poll has shown Allred over 45.Honestly, this race reminds me a bit of the Abbott versus O’Rourke contest in 2022. What I mean is that O’Rourke spent most of the campaign under 45%. I don’t think that Cruz will win by 11 points like Abbott, but 7-8 is more...

fossil of the Jefferson's Ground Sloth, an animal that paleontologists had no idea was in this area of the state until a few curious kids unearthed it. “They were building a dam, looking for crawdads,” said Bryn Evans, a teacher who was with the students when they found the fossil. “They're just in the mud pulling things out and then one of them comes up and is like, 'This isn't a stick, this is a bone!'” What the Tara Redwood School students discovered was...

Santa Cruz city council and the county's board of supervisors unanimously voted to write an opposition letter to a Los Angeles-based environmental lobbying group's proposal to protect the kelp forests. They
cited a lack of scientific evidence, public outreach and its impact on local fishing. In a petition to the California Fish and Game Commission, Environment California, a Los Angeles-based, lobbying group, requested the expansion of six marine protected areas, or MPAs, which includes Natural Bridges State Marine Reserve, and the creation of one new one at Pleasure Point, Santa Cruz.

The Biden administration suppressed information about Iran’s efforts to assassinate U.S. officials to ensure Congress and the American public were kept in the dark, according to a lawmaker on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. "What Americans don’t know is that the Biden administration has gone to great lengths to hide the extent
and persistence of those threats" from Iran, Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) said during a Senate hearing Wednesday on Tehran’s network of terror proxies. Those threats include active plots to assassinate former secretary of state Mike Pompeo and other top U.S. officials. The administration has been "abusing the...

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Sen. Ted Cruz has called for the Washington, D.C., medical examiner to conduct a “proper investigation” into whether a D.C. abortionist illegally aborted babies in violation of the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act. Cruz, R-Texas, reacted Wednesday to a Daily Signal report in which a lawyer alleged that the
Department of Justice had advised the medical examiner to discard the remains of five aborted preemie-sized babies. Those babies’ remains are from an abortion clinic in Foggy Bottom, a neighborhood of the District of Columbia. Pro-life activists believe the baby bodies are evidence that a D.C. abortionist was...

@LeadingReport BREAKING: Texas Sen. Ted Cruz calls for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to step down. Cruz
said when asked if it’s necessary for McConnell to step down as Senate leader, “I think it is.” Other Republican senators have had enough of McConnell as well. Sen. Ron Johnson likewise said McConnell’s strategy was “fatally flawed” when he “entered into this secret negotiation with Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer.” “It normalizes thousands of people a day,” Johnson said of the bill. “It probably undermines the future president’s ability to secure the border by having things like a discretionary threshold.” Sen.
