Cruz opened by welcoming the witnesses and noting the presence of four doctors. He went on to discuss the potential trade-offs associated with the bill, particularly when it comes to government regulation, which he warned can create compliance costs and barriers to entry for competitors.  The bill in question would impose contractual disclosure requirements, requiring Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) to share data on how much they pay providers and manufacturers for each drug, and it would also prohibit practices like clawbacks and spread pricing. Cruz asked Dr. Mulligan whether the bill's requirements could lead to more or less consolidation...

The Republicans have promised to make Hunter Biden's business dealings and whether his father profited from them central to their investigations in the next Congress. Senator Cruz said: Mr. Kent, you have been outspoken throughout your career speaking against corruption, and I ...

  Photo credit: Gage Skidmore/CC BY-SA 2.0,  via Flickr At today's Senate Republican press briefing, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed President Joe Biden and blamed his foreign policy decisions for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. His remarks came after Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy virtually addressed the US Congress.  Sen. Cruz. in his news conference said: President Zelensky's address to US Congress was powerful and it was compelling. The world is inspired by his leadership and inspired by the incredible courage of the Ukrainian people defending their homeland.  As we have seen these horrific images, of the carnage of human life, of the murders Russian President Vladimir Putin is carrying out in Ukraine.

The most significant war in Europe since 1945 since the end of World War 2.  Cruz then explained the 2 specific mistakes that caused this war. He said: There were tw...

  Photo credit: Gage Skidmore/CC BY-SA 2.0,  via Flickr At Senate GOP press briefing held yesterday, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) hammered President Biden's potential new Iran deal. Cruz started his news conference and said: Guys, Thank you all for coming. The Biden foreign policy is a disaster across the globe Afghanistan is a disaster. Russia is a disaster. Ukraine is a disaster. China is a disaster. But there may be no part of the globe more dangerous in the Biden foreign policy than Iran.  From the first days of the Biden-Harris administration, the Biden foreign policy team set its top foreign policy goal. To negotiate a brand-new nuclear agreement with Iran, the Obama Nuclear Agreement was catastrophically dangerous. And President Biden wants nothing more than to re-enter a deal that is even worse than the Obama deal.  In Vienna, Joe Biden's diplomats have been furiously bending over backward to surrender to the Ayatollah. The Ayatollah who is a theocratic despot reg...

Cruz said 'The White House's Talking Points Are Written By An 18-Year-Old Intern'.

You know President Biden tried to say this week the increase in gas prices is due to Putin.  I understand the Russians are the favorite talking point for democrats. We spent four years under Donald Trump hearing, democrats say Russia Russia Russia. And now the Biden White House wants to say all of the disasters of inflation that's Russia's fault too.

Ted Cruz (R-TX) criticized US-India relations under President Joe Biden.  Ted Cruz: 'Relations With India Have Worsened Significantly' Under Joe Biden.

Ted Cruz in his House speech said: I traveled to India in 2019 and I had the privilege of welcoming Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi to Texas to my hometown of Hous...

  Photo credit: Gage Skidmore/CC BY-SA 2.0,  via Flickr In Senate floor remarks on Tuesday, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed President Biden. Cruz said Joe Biden Becoming President 'Best Thing That Ever Happened' To Putin.  I will say Joe Biden's becoming US president was the best thing that ever happened to Vladimir Putin. Biden began his presidency by surrendering by Putin surrendering to Putin waving the sanctions on Nordstrom 2 sanctions bipartisan sanctions that I authored that had stopped that pipeline that had stopped an invasion of Ukraine and Biden decided to surrender to our adversary was a better policy as Neville chamberlain has demonstrated appeasement doesn't work the state of America is strong.  But the state of the union in the state of the federal government in Washington is disastrous, but the one bit a bright light on the horizon that I'm confident president Biden will not point to is that the American people will vote in November and I believe they w...

One major topic discussed by the President was the ongoing issue of fentanyl deaths, which have become the number one cause of death for young people between the ages of 18 and 45. However, President Biden faced criticism for not having the plan to secure the border and for wanting the border open. In addition to the border crisis, President Biden also talked about the fast food industry and the non-compete fees faced by compan...
