@tedcruz Rafael thinks families have extra money lying around to put into a [convicted felon] Account for their kid’s birthday? That’s hilarious. This is the same administration that responded to higher prices from its tariffs by telling Americans their kids could have fewer dolls and fewer pencils. Instead of asking why families can’t afford what they used to, the answer was basically, buy less. Now Cruz thinks Aunt Susie should forget the birthday present and throw $50 or $100 into an investment account. Meanwhile, inflation is running higher than wage growth, gasoline prices have soared, and families are paying more just to cover the basics. Maybe instead of, “Mom, can everyone put money in my [convicted felon] Account for my birthday?” it’s, “Mom, can you afford my insulin this month? Can we have three meals today? Do you have enough money for gas to get to work this week?” These people are completely disconnected from what it actually costs ordinary families to live.

@KenPaxtonTX I agree with all of that, Ken. The war, gas prices, diesel prices, and food prices are absolutely dragging you down. But let’s not pretend those are your only problems. There’s also you. Your record includes felony securities-fraud indictments, a deal that required you to pay restitution, perform community service, and take legal-ethics classes, impeachment by the Texas House, years of corruption allegations, and a $6.6 million judgment involving whistleblowers who said they were fired after reporting you to the FBI. So yes, the war and the economy are hurting your campaign. But maybe voters also looked at your own record and decided they’ve had enough of you. And being a POS adulterer probably isn't helping either.
