Good Evening, As the Ranking Member on the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, I couldn’t be prouder of the major bipartisan victory we secured for every Texan and every American following the passage of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Act. This bill will not only produce thousands of jobs across the Lone Star State, but it will also bolster invest in aerospace technology to keep the flying public safe and give customers greater transparency. Any... -

Good Evening, What we are seeing in New York and across the country on college campuses is disgraceful. These radical protestors don’t just hate Israel, they hate Jews. And they don’t just hate Jews, they also hate America. They are radical Marxists, and their support for Hamas is sick, demented, and evil. “This is America. This is not Poland pre-World War II. … [This chaos] is a result of the sickness that has taken over our universities. Cultural Marxism has infiltrated and seized control of... -

Good Afternoon, Under the reckless leadership of U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, our country has fallen victim to a criminal invasion at our southern border. Mayorkas has deliberately aided and abetted this invasion, but now that the House of Representatives has impeached him and is sending over the articles of impeachment to the Senate next week, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is hell bent on shirking the Senate’s constitutional responsibility to conduct a trial. I held a... -

Good Evening, Our country was founded upon the principles of law and order, but this week Senate Democrats looked the American people dead in the eye and told them they truly don’t care about the Constitution, the rule of law, or the safety and security of our country and its citizens when they dismissed the articles of impeachment against Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. Make no mistake—this is a deliberate. They threw the articles of impeachment out the window because they... -

Good Afternoon, Last week, as the Senate considered spending legislation to fund large portions of the government, I fought for an amendment to stop Democrats from sending billions to Iran — a country that routinely chants death to America and death to Israel. Unsurprisingly, Democrats voted to keep sending money to a nation that is the largest state-sponsor of terrorism.I also introduced two amendments relating to wildfire relief to the spending package before the Senate. The amendments were... -

Good Evening, In Texas, we believe in the merits of hard work. As the Ranking Member on the Senate Commerce Committee, I have been a vocal advocate for student athletes who have earned enormous sums of money for their career accomplishments in college athletics and should be entitled to the fruits of their labor. This week, I hosted a roundtable discussion on name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights in collegiate athletics alongside several of my Senate colleagues, legendary football coach Nick... -

Good Evening, On March 2nd, the Lone Star State will celebrate 188 years since Texas declared its independence from Mexico and fought for liberty. I was proud to continue to the time-honored tradition of reading the words of Colonel William B. Travis, the leader of the besieged forces at the Alamo, on the Senate floor this week. In Texas, American perseverance runs deep in our veins. The Texians who risked everything to make freedom a reality for future generations are a shining light of our... -

Good Evening, Every once and awhile we have some good news, and the good news is the disastrous Senate border deal was blocked this week on the Senate floor. My views on this bill have not been ambiguous. It is a terrible piece of legislation that does absolutely nothing to secure our southern border, but rather props Democrats up on a pedestal to keep manufacturing this crisis. Texans who are facing the brunt of Biden’s open borders want real change and action, but this administration has... -

Good Evening, Big Tech is putting their profits over the wellbeing of our children, and I’ve had enough of their misuse of social media platforms to exploit children online. This week, I called out Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on his role in enabling child sex predators to access Instagram content exploiting vulnerable children online who have been sexually abused. In June of 2023, a Wall Street Journal report revealed Instagram’s algorithm was helping pedophiles access posts promoting child sexual... -

Good Evening, School choice is the civil rights issue of the 21st Century. For over a decade, I’ve been the leading the fight for school choice in the U.S. Senate. I firmly believe that every single child deserves access to an exceptional education regardless of their zip code, race, ethnicity, or socio-economic status. I was proud to sign-on to the resolution designating January 21st – January 27th, 2024, as National School Choice Week because building a stronger America starts in our K-12... -

Good Evening, As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and the ranking member of the Subcommittee on the Constitution, this week I led 177 of my colleagues in Congress, alongside House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), in filing a bicameral Supreme Court amicus brief in the case Donald J. Trump v. Norma Anderson, et al. The Colorado Supreme Court’s decision in this case to keep Donald Trump off the ballot in Colorado wrongfully sidestepped the proper, Constitutionally-mandated role of... -

Good Evening, In 2023, my team and I were hard at work serving Texans throughout the Lone Star State. Over this past year, I was proud to fight for you and your family by creating new jobs, standing up for your freedoms, and putting pressure on the Biden administration to prioritize our national security. We had some incredible wins in 2023, and I look forward to building on those successes for Texans, and all Americans, in 2024! Last week, I held a bipartisan press conference at the World... -

Good Evening, This week, I voted in favor of final passage of the FY24 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which includes five bipartisan victories I was proud to spearhead. One measure reinforces our defense and national security interests by ensuring B-1 bombers at Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene, Texas remain in service as long as necessary for our national defense. Another measure streamlines the presidential permitting process for building four bridges across the Rio Grande in... -

Good Evening, Under Joe Biden’s watch, the Department of Justice has become the most partisan we’ve ever seen, acting as the political strong-arm of the DNC. I am appalled by the actions of this administration to weaponize the DOJ and strip the power away from the American people. As a result, the FBI has become the Democrat’s vigilant attack dog, promoting their political ambitions and silencing dissenters. I am regularly approached by FBI agents, honorable men and women who stand up for the... -

Good Evening, Two weeks ago, I joined several of my Republican colleagues in the Senate in pushing for a vote on the motion to proceed on a House-passed bill that would provide $14.3 billion in emergency aid to Israel. I am gravely disappointed that Senate Democrats voted party line on this issue, opposing critical aid to our Israeli allies and failing to protect American national security. This legislation should have passed 100-0. We must deliver this much-needed aid and support to Israel as... -

Good Evening, Since Joe Biden took office, this administration has gifted nearly $100 billion dollars to the Ayatollah of Iran, who chants death and destruction to America and our allies. Iran has been deploying these funds to bolster Hamas’s savage terrorist attacks on the Jewish people in Israel. The solution here is easy – don’t give money to terrorists who want to kill us. Unfortunately, the Democrat Party could care less. This past weekend, I joined Real Time with Bill Maher and did a deep... -

Good Evening, Our country was built upon the principles of liberties from free speech to freedom of religion. This week, I delivered remarks to First Liberty, a group of lawyers who are at the front lines of the battle to defend religious liberty, and the founding principles that have made our country great. On Monday, I joined Varney & Co. on Fox Business to discuss how the Biden administration has undermined our ally Israel by enabling and funding Hamas terrorists who are slaughtering,... -

Good Evening, Under the Biden administration’s watch, our country is facing the worst illegal immigration crisis in our nation’s history. We’ve had 7.6 million illegal immigrants cross our southern border since Joe Biden took office. I have spent a lot of time at the southern border, and it is always shocking to see just how disastrous this crisis really is. Biden’s open border policies have invited the cartels to brutalize children, to assault women, to overrun our communities with illegal... -

What we’ve seen unfold in Israel is utterly horrific. In the early hours of Saturday, October 7th Iran-backed terrorists launched a deadly attack killing 1,400 innocent Israelis and 30 Americans. This malicious, vicious, and unspeakable evil, was the worst attack on Israel in fifty years and the largest mass murder of Jews in a single day since the Holocaust. Entire Israeli families were murdered in door-to-door horrors. Israeli babies were brutally slaughtered, burned, and decapitated. Women...
