What we are witnessing in New York and across the country on college campuses is troubling. These radical protesters don’t just oppose Israel, they harbor animosity towards Jews and America. They are radical Marxists, and their support for Hamas is concerning.
"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 the faculty and the administration. These are violent protesters that are threatening the lives and the safety of Jewish students. ... Where is Joe Biden tonight? Where is the Attorney General tonight? Where is the FBI tonight? Where is the governor of New York tonight? I think back to ... when racist Democrats in the 1950s blocked the integration of public schools. President Eisenhower stood up and sent in the National Guard. Why will Joe Biden not do so?"
As Ranking Member on the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, I am committed to ensuring public safety during travel. I addressed the Senate floor this week to commend the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization, a product of bipartisan cooperation. This bill includes numerous provisions to enhance aviation safety and foster growth in Texas’s aerospace sector.
"This bill, negotiated by Chair Cantwell and myself with leadership from House Transportation & Infrastructure and Science Committees, represents a bicameral and bipartisan achievement. It reflects priorities from many senators, including over 200 member priorities from Republicans alone. I am particularly proud of provisions that enhance travel safety for Texans and consumers nationwide, as well as those promoting Texas's aerospace sector growth. It will advance aviation safety—an essential mission of the FAA—and integrate new advanced aviation technologies while making ticket pricing more transparent."
In my role as Ranking Member on the Senate Commerce Committee, I collaborated with Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) to introduce the Kids Off Social Media Act. As a parent of two teenage daughters, I share concerns about social media's impact on children's mental health.
"Number one, [this bill] restricts kids under 13 [from being] on social media. There's no reason for a kid under 13 to be dealing with all of the peer pressure, [and] all of the negative messaging that comes from social media. Number two, this bill for kids under 17 prohibits Big Tech companies from using algorithmic boosting to push messages to them … that are addictive, [and] can be harmful. Additionally, this bill includes a separate bill that I introduced called ‘Eyes On The Board,’ which provides federal funding [to schools that] have to block social media on campus."
Rest assured, I remain committed to fighting for a better future for our country.
God Bless!
Keep Texas Strong,
