Sen. Ted Cruz: "The Democrat Party is being taken over by communists and Islamists. The stakes this November could not be clearer: common sense vs. crazy."

Rep. Vicente Gonzalez: "Families across the Rio Grande Valley are scared to live their lives or go to work in broad daylight as hyperaggressive ICE raids increase."

Rep. Nathaniel Moran: "China and Russia have both been recently caught using AI to manipulate American discourse: one targeting our AI and energy debate, one building fake authority to spread disinformation."
