A study of mint plants. A device to stop bleeding. This is the scientific research that U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz calls "woke.”
@ProPublica reports: "The senator flagged thousands of National Science Foundation grants for using words like 'female' and 'diversify.'”
Thanks to Kate Nyhan (@kdnyhan) for pointing out this #Republican argument that #Democrats politicized science.

It's undated but apparently from November 2024, when Dems controlled the Senate. It's from the #TedCruz-led minority, Republican members of the Senate committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, the committee which oversees the #NSF.
If it were up to me all war criminals should be refused entry into #NewZealand. If you have committed a serious criminal offence you would expect to be refused entry into either NZ or USA. I have no idea why #WarCrimes should be exempt in NZ unless of course our government is complicit in these crimes against humanity. #NZPol #Israel #USPol #TedCruz
…There was a hefty dose of lawmaker support at the party, all from the #Republican side of the aisle. #House Speaker #MikeJohnson was there, along w/Senators #MarshaBlackburn, #TedCruz & #CynthiaLummis. Fmr House members French Hill & Patrick McHenry arrived to show their support.
#Cleanspark CEO #ZachBradford, who has been meeting w/ #Trump in private roundtables to discuss #bitcoin mining, said he spoke w/ #HowardLutnick, Trump’s pick to be Secy of #Commerce, at the event.

#TedCruz wants to overhaul $42B #broadband program, nix low-cost requirement
Their plan could delay distribution of government funding and remove or relax a requirement that ISPs accepting #subsidies must offer low-cost Internet plans.

There is a room with three doors. Each bears a label: “Latino Vote,” “Purpling Suburbs,” and “Big City Turnout.” This November, Texas #Democrats opened these three doors, and behind all they discovered a Cerberus from Greek mythology with the heads of Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and Greg Abbott. Then the monster ate them.

Republican Texas firebrand U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, 53, won re-election to a third term, Edison Research projected on Tuesday, holding off a formidable Democratic challenger who tried to end a three-decade conservative hold on the seat. #us #usa #news #minimarketonlineltd #minimarket #America #AmericaNews #AmericaFirst #texas #tedcruz
Ferfucksake, that cunt Ted Cruz won again. #Texas #electionnight #TedCruz
This is the year. It’s now. Send Ted Cruz packing! Vote! Vote! Vote!

Feds demand Ted Cruz's campaign explain $1 million in potentially illegal donations
In a new letter, regulators included a 97-page list of individual contributions the campaign must either explain or return...#TedCruz..#GOP..#whitenationalism..#corruption..
Colin Allred may believe that “Ted Cruz is too small for Texas,” but is his support truly big enough to overcome the Republican political machine? https://www.texasobserver.org/cruz-allred-texas-senate-race/

For the foreseeable future I can’t get my name legally changed and because of that won’t be able to vote as my true self. This is because the attorney general of #Texas is so obsessed with trans girls that he has directed our department of motor vehicles deny gender marker changes on a driver’s license. The directive also states to send him, to a specific email address, all documents associated with the name and gender marker change.
So last week I cosplayed as a boy and #ICompletedTheAssignment
Screw you #KenPaxton and Dan Patrick. Also, stay out of my DM’s. No means no. That goes for you too #TedCruz.
Just remember Texas:
Ted "Cancun" Cruz spent 6 Jan 2021 in a US Senate broom closet.
Update on the #GOP text spam #penis rapid response.
Some interesting shifts. The #Republicans knew #Iowa and #Nebraska were in play based on their internal polling a couple of days before the rest of us did. And the #NRCC is desperate for any kind of funding to #GOTV.
#TedCruz is still mega-fucked.
