Retiring Guy's Digest: Wake up, Texas. Your junior senator is a pay-to-play sleazebag!

Headline: San Antonio Current, 7/23/2024

Michael Tijerina, a Collin County Democratic Party precinct chair, last week filed a complaint with the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Ethics alleging the deal between Cruz and San Antonio-based radio company iHeart Media violates federal law, the Austin-American Statesman reports.

The filing reportedly accuses Cruz of using the deal to distribute his thrice-weekly Verdict With Ted Cruz podcast to skirt earned income limits for senators, federal financial disclosure requirements and a ban on collecting speaking fees.

“Ted Cruz has a long record of putting himself ahead of Texans and his podcast is just the latest example," Tijerina said in a statement supplied to the Statesman. "If Cruz is breaking Senate rules or federal election law by funneling money to his super PAC, we deserve to know.” [emphasis added]
