Following the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, Senator Ted Cruz condemned those expressing sympathy for the suspect, Luigi Mangione, characterizing such reactions as stemming from “leftism.” The *Houston Chronicle* sharply criticized Cruz’s statement, arguing that it served to “vilify, inflame, and divide,” rather than address the underlying issues fueling public anger towards the healthcare industry. The newspaper noted that while celebrating murder is reprehensible, Cruz’s simplistic framing ignores the widespread frustration with healthcare practices. The *Chronicle* concluded that Cruz could contribute to solutions instead of exacerbating the problem.

Ted Cruz’s daughter, Caroline, was visibly unhappy when her father praised Donald Trump during his victory speech. Despite her father’s claims of gratitude for his family’s support, Caroline grimaced and muttered “Don’t clap for that” to her mother, who was clapping. This is not the first time Caroline has expressed disagreement with her father’s political views; in 2021, she stated that she disagreed with most of his views. Caroline’s reaction reflects a potential generational gap in political beliefs, highlighting the complex dynamics of family life within a politically charged environment.

Pollster Ivan Moore predicts that Republican Senator Ted Cruz will lose his Texas Senate seat to Democrat Representative Colin Allred in the upcoming election. The close race could determine which party controls the Senate. Though some recent polls show Cruz leading by between one and seven points, others suggest Allred could outperform him. The Dallas Morning News, the state’s top newspaper by daily circulation, endorsed Allred in a front-page editorial last month, and state politics has been influenced by Democrats in recent electoral cycles. Moore made the bold prediction via Twitter.

Cancun Cruz strikes again, and once more, it’s a disgraceful episode that shakes my faith in decency. The recent anti-trans ad featuring non-trans minors without their permission is not just a lapse in judgment; it epitomizes the exploitation of vulnerable individuals, especially minors, for political gain. It’s outrageous that a public figure like Cruz would use innocent children in this manner, all in a desperate ploy to further his agenda.
Reflecting on this situation, I can’t help but think of the myriad young people who are already facing tremendous struggle and uncertainty. The world can be a harsh place for minors, particularly those questioning their identity or experiencing societal pressures that they can’t yet fully understand.… Continue reading
Ted Cruz’s political existence has always been a series of bizarre dramas, but the latest twist in the narrative—his opponent Colin Allred being endorsed by the *Dallas Morning News*—is nothing short of poetic justice. For those of us who have watched from afar, the idea that Texas’ largest newspaper is publicly distancing itself from Cruz’s brand of divisive politics is both thrilling and necessary. The newspaper isn’t alone; Allred has garnered endorsements from major Texas publications like the *Houston Chronicle* and *San Antonio Express-News*. These endorsements, while somewhat symbolic in today’s media landscape, signal a significant shift in public sentiment, especially when framed against the backdrop of Cruz’s past misdeeds.… Continue reading
Ted Cruz has once again found himself in hot water, exposed as a scammer in a recent debate smackdown. The revelations about how he has been funneling the payouts from his podcast into a pro-Cruz super-PAC are truly astounding. It’s mind-boggling that such behavior is even legal. The fact that he is diverting funds in this way showcases a lack of integrity and a blatant disregard for the trust of his constituents.
One of the most egregious acts of Ted Cruz’s tenure was when he infamously fled to Cancun while his state was in the midst of a crisis during a severe winter storm.… Continue reading
Colin Allred definitely made a powerful impact in Tuesday night’s debate against Ted Cruz. From the moment he stepped onto the stage, Allred came out swinging with fervor and conviction. His zingers were sharp and hit precisely at Cruz’s weak points. The way he called Cruz out for his lack of representation of Texans, whether it be running off to Cancun or hiding in a broom closet, was truly commendable.
Watching the debate, it was evident that Cruz was more slick in his responses, but Allred didn’t back down. He painted a clear picture of Cruz as someone who is all talk and no action, labeling him as “All hat, no cattle.”… Continue reading
As a Texan observing the current political climate in our state, the news of Ted Cruz facing a GOP rebellion as Republicans back his opponent, Colin Allred, comes as both unexpected and long overdue. The sentiment towards Cruz among his own party members, as well as the citizens of Texas, is far from favorable. The anecdotes shared about colleagues hiding from Cruz or the general consensus that nobody likes him are telling of the divisive figure he has become in the realm of politics.
It’s ironic that Cruz, who claims to champion conservative principles, is now facing opposition from within his own party, with many Republicans viewing him as a RINO (Republican In Name Only).… Continue reading
Could Ted Cruz Actually Lose in Texas?
Growing up in Texas, I have seen firsthand the impact of Ted Cruz’s presence in our state. A divisive figure, Cruz has managed to maintain his position as a U.S. Senator despite a widespread dislike among many Texans. The question on many people’s minds now is, could Ted Cruz actually lose in Texas?
As a Texan who has never supported Cruz, I am hopeful for a change in leadership. The upcoming election presents an opportunity to voice our collective dissatisfaction with his performance as our representative. It is no secret that Cruz has faced criticism for his lackluster track record and his questionable actions that have left many of us scratching our heads.… Continue reading
As a Texan, the recent poll indicating that Colin Allred could potentially beat Ted Cruz in November has brought about a surge of excitement and hope. For far too long, Texas has been considered a solidly red state, with little room for Democratic victories. However, the possibility of Allred emerging victorious against Cruz signifies a shift in the political landscape of our state.
The significance of this poll cannot be understated. It serves as a beacon of hope for Democratic voters in Texas, demonstrating that victory is possible. When voters see that their voices can make a difference, it motivates them to show up in droves come election day.… Continue reading
