📽️ RECAP: The Protect College Sports Act is the nation's best chance at safeguarding the future of collegiate athletics.

Watch our recap from yesterday's press conference below:

🚨 NEW: Chairman @SenTedCruz will convene a hearing to consider nominations for the @USDOT, the @FCC, and @NASA at 10:30 AM on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.

Investors deserve transparency, not deceptive practices that put political agendas over financial interests.

Chairman @SenTedCruz is pressing Glass Lewis and ISS for answers about their customer shareholder recommendation practices and potential conflict-of-interest policies to ensure clients’ interests come first.

See the letters below.

Thanks to Senator Susan Collins, @SenateCommerce will mark up the Northeast Lobstermen Protection Act when the Senate returns in November.

@SenatorCollins’s leadership has been instrumental in advancing this bill to protect Maine’s lobstermen from burdensome regulations. I hope we can move this bill without changes or further delay to put on President Trump’s desk ASAP.

It was a great day at the White House with President Trump and the talented crew of Artemis III 🇺🇸

The Artemis III crew is led by Commander Randy Bresnik, Pilot Luca Parmitano, and Mission Specialists Andre Douglas and Frank Rubio with Bob Hines backing them up.

It is clear @POTUS is the force behind a new era of American leadership in space. His policies include the Artemis program, the Artemis Accords, now signed by 78 nations, and the United States Space Force. Of course, the United States Space Academy is coming soon.

With the resources provided to @NASA in the WFTCA, we were able to approach our return to the Moon the right way. We added the Artemis III mission and will now be able to establish humankind’s first outpost on another world, the Moon Base, with its first robotic mission just weeks away.

We are rebuilding the workforce and core capabilities at NASA Centers, taking control of our destiny--we are building again. With SR-1 Freedom, we will finally get America underway on nuclear power in space, what should be the dawn of a Nuclear NASA.

I am grateful every day to serve as NASA Administrator and to see the talent across our workforce, industry, and international partners changing the world. Together, we are leading the way on the greatest adventure in human history.

LIVE: NASA's Anil Menon and @csa_asc's Joshua Kutryk are setting up a new solar array outside the @Space_Station. Today's spacewalk is scheduled to start around 8am ET (1200 UTC) and run for about six and a half hours. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

ICYMI: President Trump has officially signed @RepPfluger’s Mystic Alerts Act into law, helping ensure Americans will receive life saving alerts in an emergency, even if cell networks go down.

Chairman @SenTedCruz championed this legislation through the Commerce Committee. Read more ⬇️

🚨 ICYMI: President Trump has officially signed Chairman @SenTedCruz's Illegal Red Snapper and Tuna Enforcement Act into law.

Red snapper is one of the most well-managed and profitable fish in the Gulf, but illegal fishing by Mexican lanchas puts law-abiding U.S. fishermen and seafood producers at a competitive disadvantage. Now that this bipartisan bill is law, it will allow federal and state law enforcement officers to utilize technology that determines the country of origin for certain species of fish, and confiscate any such illegally caught fish before sale in the United States.

E-Rate was designed to help schools and libraries access high-speed, reliable internet—not create a cottage industry for consultants.

Our new Senate Commerce investigative report estimates consultants receive $200–$400 million annually just to help navigate the program.

It’s time to ask whether this version of E-Rate is still serving its mission.

“The Army's investigation report clearly shows that Army aircraft should be equipped with ADS-B In and ADS-B Out technology when in congested airspace, which my bipartisan ROTOR Act would mandate.Had this been in place, 67 lives would have been saved in January 2025.

Pilot unions, major airlines, the NTSB, the DOT, Army safety experts, and the families of those lost in the crash all agree: ADS-B In and Out should be used except for the rarest of emergencies, and I am working with my colleagues in Congress to do just that.”

- Chairman @SenTedCruz

Welcome home!

Crew-12 splashed down in the Pacific on Thursday, Oct. 8. Their 237-day mission aboard the @Space_Station included research into medicine, quantum science, and 3D-printing with metal in low Earth orbit. go.nasa.gov/4elVwzA

Welcome home @NASA Crew-12

The tragedy over the Potomac on January 29, 2025, must never happen again. We cannot afford to put American lives at risk by ignoring the @NTSB's recommendations on ADS-B In technology. It’s long past time we advance bipartisan aviation safety legislation to protect the flying public.

For the families of every soul who died in the DCA crash, Congress must get this done.

College sports are a uniquely American tradition that bond us together.

West Virginians will always remember when Pat White and Steve Slaton shocked the world against Georgia in the ‘06 Sugar Bowl, Joe Mazzulla’s heroics to upset Kentucky, Kevin Pittsnogle raining threes to take down Wake Forest, or the Mountaineers recent run through the NCAA baseball tournament that had the whole country singing Country Roads.

But for years, uncertainly and inconsistency have ruled the college sports world to the detriment of West Virginia’s student athletes and our ability to compete. It’s time to fix college sports and ensure this great tradition remains strong.

The Protect College Sports Act, which just passed the Senate, will bring much-needed stability, puts student athletes first, preserves scholarships, reins in conference realignment craziness, and preserves the traditions that make college sports so special.

Let’s get this passed in the House!

🚨 ICYMI: President Trump has officially signed Chairman @SenTedCruz's Modernizing Access to Our Public Oceans Act into law.

“Fishing is one of America’s greatest pastimes. A father teaching his children to cast a rod is a core memory that many Texans share. The MAPOceans Act will give fishermen reliable, up-to-date information and will make it possible to incorporate data into smartphone apps and mapping tools they already use. Instead of sorting through confusing or conflicting data, fishermen will be able to spend more time enjoying America’s waters with their families." - Chairman Cruz

The Protect College Sports Act passed the Senate 77 to 22 with strong bipartisan support.

Raphael Warnock voted no.

This is common sense. Pay student athletes fairly. Set reasonable transfer rules. End the NIL chaos. Georgia athletes deserve better than Warnock's vote.

I plan to vote YES when it comes to the House.

Saving college sports isn't a red jersey vs. blue jersey thing. It's about saving an American institution.

The Senate overwhelmingly passed the bipartisan Protect College Sports Act—now, it's up to the House to pass it and send it to President Trump's desk.

Let's get this done.

The Senate’s bipartisan passage of the Protect College Sports Act is a welcome step toward restoring order in college athletics.

Years of lawsuits, uneven state rules, and nonstop roster movement have left programs and athletes without a reliable framework. This legislation establishes clear national standards that protect student-athletes, sustain women’s and Olympic sports, and give college athletics a more stable future. I look forward to this legislation moving forward in the House.
