The Biden administration's efforts to turn up the regulatory heat on gas stoves are drawing bipartisan opposition from a pair of senators who have introduced a bill to block a ban on gas stoves. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chairman Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., introduced the Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act last week amid the Biden administration's discussions of proposed restrictions on gas stoves. Their bill would prohibit the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) from advancing regulations on existing or new gas stoves that would ban their use or "would otherwise substantially increase the...

Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) introduced a new bill Thursday which would prevent the Consumer Product Safety Commission from regulating the banning of gas stoves. The Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act comes on the heels of national debate over a CPSC comissioner raising the prospect of a ban on the stoves, citing studies that show gas stoves reduce air quality in homes and can lead to an increased risk of asthma in children in some cases. The CPSC has not considered any official recommendations to ban or limit the sale of gas stoves. “I’ll tell you...

Sen. Ted Cruz sounded off on an email Hunter Biden sent to a Burisma colleague, alleging the correspondence indicates he had access to classified material as new information is revealed regarding the magnitude of Biden's latest scandal. Cruz joined "Sunday Morning Futures" to discuss why the email was "unusual" and how it infers that he had "direct access" to the information that could be tied to Biden's alleged mishandling of thousands of records. "Hunter Biden didn't write that," Cruz told Maria Bartiromo. "Hunter Biden is not an expert on Ukraine. He's not an expert on Eastern Europe. He's not an...

WASHINGTON — The Biden administration kept silent Tuesday about whether the president would approve a search of his Senate records at the University of Delaware after even more classified documents were found Friday at his Wilmington home.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is calling for the Justice Department to search through President Joe Biden's papers at the University of Delaware for any classified documents. He made his comments Monday on his "Verdict" podcast. Cruz's remarks came after classified documents dating back to Biden's term in the Senate were found at the president's Wilmington, Delaware, home. "If Biden's Senate documents include classified documents outside of classified settings — which is illegal — how many more classified documents are illegally in his Senate papers?" Cruz said. "During the 2020 campaign, there was a concerted media effort to try to get...

Fresh off winning back the House of Representatives, Republican leaders have a great idea on how to capitalize on the power voters have given them: Give Democrats exactly what they want. We’ve already seen that play out with the passage of the Orwellian-named “Respect for Marriage Act,” which enshrined gay marriage at the federal level. A dozen Republican senators chose to not stand up and force the passage of Sen. Mike Lee’s amendment that would have protected religious liberty, and naturally, the next betrayal is already being prepared. Sen. Mitch McConnell has been meeting with the White House and is...

Asked why the McConnell-allied group pulled out of the...

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is calling out former President Trump for not spending more of his $100 million war chest to boost Republican Senate candidates ahead of next week’s midterm elections. “I will say by the way I wish Trump was spending some of his money,” Cruz said. “Trump’s got $100 million and he’s spending almost none of it to support these candidates.” Cruz also accused Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) of withholding critical political dollars from “pro-Trump” candidates, while funneling money into races where “moderates” and Trump critics are running. “It would be nice if Trump would spend...

In an episode of his podcast, “Verdict with Ted Cruz,” that aired on Monday, Cruz lamented that Trump had spent “almost none” of his massive cash reserves in key Senate races, arguing that it should be up to the former president to provide crucial air cover for candidates whom he has endorsed.

A forthcoming book by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) reveals that he and some of his Republican colleagues hid in a supply closet shortly after hearing news of violence on Jan. 6, 2021. “While we waited for the Capitol to be secured, I assembled our coalition in a back room (really, a supply closet with stacked chairs) to discuss what we should do next,” Cruz writes in “Justice Corrupted: How the Left Weaponized Our Legal System,” according to Newsweek. Cruz says “several” Republicans argued during that meeting that the party should suspend objections and vote to certify the 2020 election. “I...

Nikolas Cruz was 19 years old on February 14, 2018 when...
