In his first post at 16:23 UTC, Cruz congratulated Arielle Roth on her confirmation by the Senate. He wrote, “Congratulations to Arielle Roth on her Senate confirmation!

Later that day at 17:24 UTC, Cruz commented on recent protests and announced new legislation targeting financial backers of such movements. He stated, “We saw it with Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and the pro-illegal immigration crazies in Los Angeles. These are all occurring with real money behind them. My new legislation will give prosecutors the ability to go after the people writing the checks.” The announcement comes amid ongoing national debates about protest funding and law enforcement responses.
At 19:02 UTC, Cruz highlighted a bipartisan effort with Senator John Cornyn regarding a local honor in Amarillo. He quoted an article from the Amarillo Globe-News: “.@amarilloglobe: “U.S. Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn […] introduced legislation to rename the U.S. Postal Service facility at 505 East 9th Ave. in Amarillo as the “Mayor Jerry H. Hodge Post Office Building.”
Arielle Roth’s confirmation as head of NTIA (National Telecommunications and Information Administration) follows her tenure as policy director for telecommunications for the Senate Commerce Committee—a position that involves advising lawmakers on technology and communications issues.
Senator Ted Cruz has been active in sponsoring bills related to protest activities and criminal justice reform during his time in office.
The proposed renaming of the Amarillo postal facility honors Jerry Hodge’s contributions as mayor; such dedications require congressional approval before becoming official.
