このコンテンツについて
Senator Ted Cruz has had quite the busy week as we head into the final stretch of November. The Texas Republican just announced a significant promotion in his Washington office, elevating Ken Lee to Chief Counsel. Lee, who joined Cruz's team back in May 2024, previously served as Senior Counsel and brings impressive credentials from the University of Chicago Law School along with prior clerkship experience at the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
On the legislative front, Cruz has been actively pushing the federal government on border security funding. Working alongside fellow Texas Senator John Cornyn and Congressman August Pfluger, Cruz led a letter urging the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security to prioritize the release of roughly eleven billion dollars in reimbursements to Texas for border security costs incurred during what the delegation characterizes as the Biden-Harris border crisis.
The Senator continues his work on judicial nominations, applauding President Trump's selection of Nicholas Ganjei as the nominee for District Judge for the Southern District of Texas. As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Cruz has been actively involved in vetting the new administration's picks.
Beyond the immediate headlines, Cruz remains focused on technology regulation and child safety. Earlier this year, his Kids Off Social Media Act, co-sponsored with Hawaii Democrat Brian Schatz, advanced through the Senate Commerce Committee by voice vote. The bipartisan legislation aims to ban children under thirteen from creating social media accounts and would prohibit recommendation algorithms from targeting users under seventeen. Cruz has framed this as addressing the mental health crisis plaguing America's youth, though critics argue the approach could restrict free expression.
Meanwhile, speculation continues about Cruz's political future. The Senator has notably declined to rule out a potential 2028 presidential run, leaving the door open for another national campaign following his 2016 bid.
Throughout all this activity, Cruz maintains his aggressive oversight role as Senate Commerce Committee Chairman, particularly focused on examining how government agencies have pressured tech companies to moderate speech during the Biden administration, a practice he characterizes as a threat to First Amendment protections.
