Sen. John Cornyn: "Today, the Director of the National Museum of American History argued in front of a House committee that the Smithsonian “does not take sides in America’s political debates.”   That’s laughable.   From the willful omission of Justice Thomas’ legacy to playing politics with the Space Shuttle, the Smithsonian does take sides, and they’re in the wrong."

Rep. August Pfluger: "Governor Mikie Sherrill just confirmed that 6,600 noncitizens were registered to vote in New Jersey. This only confirms what we've known for years: American voter rolls need to be cleaned up."

Sen. Ted Cruz: "James Talarico’s consultants built him a fake Ford commercial because his real record doesn’t sell in Texas. A bad SNL sketch won’t make voters forget his stance that there are six biological sexes, his claim that “God is nonbinary,” or a career spent pushing gender ideology on Texas kids."

Rep. Lloyd Doggett: "For over a decade, the federal government told local police: name officers who use deadly force. ICE agents killed two men in the last two weeks. Trump’s DHS won't say who pulled the trigger. Even its statement defending the secrecy was anonymous."
