Nope, he renounced his Canadian citizenship, he's all yours, enjoy, consider him a gift. Ted is running again in 2024 and has a lot of baggage, perhaps the DOJ could rid America of Ted, Lindsey and a few other sleazy GOP senators who broke the law. Though these days with the republicans, even if convicted and doing time they might not resign, shame is in short supply among that bunch.

Cruz pranked over Cancun trip at Senate gym: report
...the lockers in the Senate gym Wednesday morning were lined with taped showing Cruz returning to the Houston airport from Mexico, wearing a short-sleeve gray polo shirt, jeans and Texas-flag mask.
The memes Wednesday reportedly said, “Bienvenido de Nuevo, Ted!” meaning, “Welcome Back, Ted!”
NBC reported that the photo of Cruz in the meme was manipulated to make it look like he was dragging his suitcase through snow while holding a tropical cocktail in the other hand.

Texas electric cooperative files for bankruptcy after massive storm
Brazos Electric Power Cooperative Inc. (BEPC), the largest and oldest power cooperative in Texas, has filed for bankruptcy due to a disputed $1.8 billion bill from the state’s grid operator, Reuters reports.
BEPC, which provides power to over 660,000 consumers in Texas, is among the dozens of providers that are facing hefty charges from the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) after freezing temperatures left millions of households in the state without power in February.
Reuters added that BEPC executive Clifton Karnei, who signed the company's bankruptcy submissions, sat on ERCOT's board of directors until last week.
More providers are expected to reject bills, executives from ERCOT said. According to ERCOT, $2.1 billion in initial bills was unpaid as of last Friday.
BEPC and other providers were required to buy replacement power at elevated rates, Reuters notes, and cover unpaid fees from other companies.
Four ERCOT board members resigned last week due to the power outages. All four members lived outside of Texas, leading many to question why individuals who do not live in the state were given top positions at the grid operator.

Let them roll. Let the people in charge of regulations and budgets feel some wrath too. Water and electricity isn't a partisan issue, or shouldn't be.

I figure with Texas going purple there will be one Helluva fight in 2022 and 2024 and this shit won't help the republicans at all. It seems when they go, the state wide elected offices go first and the state legislatures seem to stay red, though it is close in the house in Texas, just 9 seats I believe. If there is change, it will be in the governor, AG and secretary of state along with the federal senators in the next election cycle, Cruz is up in 2024. This seems to fit a pattern I've seen in several red/purple states with democratic governors and AGs, but republican legislatures.
