Ted Cruz has been a scumbag for a long time. Now he is facing legal exposure. Finally. And will be facing a dynamic opponent for his Senate seat, Colin Allred who has already raised millions of dollars for his campaign. As per MSNBC comments on the air, nobody likes Ted Cruz so vote his ass out!

May the truth endure, fight, and win in the courts, which can then force the hands of establishments like Faux "news" to finally take corrective action. And may Tucker ever enjoy his "just desserts." π·
Great piece, as usual, Ari. I think all of us are asking βhow we got hereβ so not sure why David Byrne was brought into the piece. Was so hoping you could somehow get Cruz on βThe Beatβ. That surely would be an epic show. Congrats on the April ratings. Once again us Beatniks have shown you that we have your back. Keep up the great workAri. Your not only a great Anchor but a great journalist too. π₯π₯π€·πΌββοΈ
Ari, I like the fact that you compile your facts and present them without fluff! Everything you reported, was supported by video and recordings. Although the public was not aware of Cruzβs conversation with Bartiromo, many of us recall his shenanigans at the J6 certification, that were certainly antithetical to THAT conversation. This is just ONE instance of Dominionβs impact, and I believe there are many to come. The impact will be wide, because Trump cast a wide net to draw congressional lawmakers, states of legislators, officers, and regular citizens into his scheme. Thus far, the courts have been instrumental in upholding the rule of law, involving the criminal acts on that terrible day. I would like them to move a little faster, in recognizing and tossing out frivolous lawsuits for delay tactics only.
The truth ALWAYS wins, Ari, itβs a matter of how and when. The Dominion lawsuit has opened Pandoraβs box and thereβs more to come. Your reporting exposes facts and truth and the only clowns in the scenario are those who think theyβve had the last laugh. Keep doing what you do best. Exposing the truth. Have a glorious weekend.
Ari, I am so glad that you didnβt dignify him calling you a clown with any answer. Thereβs a saying that goes, β silence is the best answer to a foolβ. In this case, lying/ Cancun Ted, who is clearly the biggest clown. Ted Cruz is a traitor.
Yes, Dominion case against Fox has a wider impact. Everyone at Fox are best friends with all the top Republican government officials who are also right wingers and traitors. A lot of events took place in planning the coup and Fox was the means of spreading the big lie faster and continuously. If the courts dig deeper into the investigation and follow that trail, I am pretty sure they will find more and more information.

There are many bad actors in this whole mess but only one big question at the center of it. What will Garland do? The more time that goes by, the more pessimistic I become. Had he started this entire investigation when he should have 2 years ago, we wouldnβt have this thing hanging over us as we enter election season. Will Garland wind up being Trumpβs (and his gaggle of crooks) favorite AG. I hope not but color me skeptical.
I really think weβre scratching the surface with the truth that has been coming out. Im not sure weβll ever be able to put together the full story. That doesnβt mean we shouldnβt try. Gosh as slow as this seems to go. Ugh! Iβll be grey haired and walking with a cane. He-he π€ͺ
Do we remember when Cancun Ted posed with confederate flag or tried to sneak to Cancun during a major blackout in Texas Hasn't been contested in an election π€ This yes that will happen As the tapes reveals Cancun Ted's ntentions to partake and support Trump in his efforts to stop the certification of Biden as President We see a man who tries to portray a certain image that's not his to portray because his actions speaks of a man who values concealment and deceptive manipulating efforts OH Cancun Ted thanks for the age of tapes You've been a magician all these years allowing a hint of the real you and the world you invision for those who elect you May justice prevail and all your magical tricks be disclosed Hopefully once revealed and disclosed your act will close to no audience and you will retire

I have been asking myself that since 2016 Ari.
And YES I think Dominion case makes a difference. I think everything people are doing to hold people accountable makes a difference. Hopefully it will be enough of a difference to put us back on track.
I hope the Dominion case will have a larger impact. I am counting on the court system to continue to do the best job possible, and certainly to convict Trump. I feel that there is enough evidence. Ari, thanks so you and your staff for giving us the truth and explaining things so well!
I want to add something. Many people have been understandably frustrated that AG Garland & the DOJ has not moved more swiftly to indict Trump (et al) for J6.
But, as he reiterated yesterday (5/4/2023: https://www.justice.gov/opa/speech/attorney-general-merrick-b-garland-delivers-statement-following-jury-verdict-proud-boys), "At my Senate confirmation hearing just over a month after January 6th, I promised that the Justice Department would do everything in its power to hold accountable those responsible for the heinous attack that sought to disrupt a cornerstone of our democracy: the peaceful transfer of power to a newly elected government." Earlier in the same statement, he once again said, "Since the January 6th attack, the Justice Department has conducted one of the largest, most complex, and most resource-intensive investigations in our history."
My point all along has been that we need to take Garland at his word and trust they are true. This is much biggerβMUCH MUCH BIGGERβthan just Trump and his immediate circle. It may also include sitting members of Congress! It may include members of right-wing Media. I dare say, it may include at least one member of the SCOTUS (and possibly his wife)! And, if my "spidy senses" are tingling correctly, it may include agents of foreign governments.
A law is only as good as a society's ability to enforce it. When faced with a conspiracy of such vast proportionsβone which reaches into the halls of Federal and State political power, with roots and tendrils that may spread into bureaucracies and the national security apparatus itselfβspeed, however wished for, is counter-productive.
As exhausted with it as we all understandably areβwe must take heart in the fact that we are living in and bearing witness to what is one of the most parlously significant periods in our nations history. Take heart in the fact that we have such dedicated and committed public servants as Merrick Garland who grasp the full scope of what is required if they are to secure the survival of our democratic republic.
And, no, we're not out of the woods yet!
When Trump recently said, "They're coming after me to get to you," most understood ir as a warning to his MAGA base. A means for riling them up. It was that but it was more than that: It was a warning to those in positions of power that their fates are tied to his own. Or so he would have them believe!
The truth is, their fate is in their own hands, not Trump's. At some point, they're going to have to decide, are they with the Constitution and the rule of law or are they not. It's as simple as that.

Ari - Thank you for all you do. We watch you on MSNBC regularly. We are both retired college profs and life-long liberals.
Thanks again,

Good evening Ari and Happy Fri-YAYπ
Happy Cinco de Mayo
Cruz attacking MSNBC because you spoke the truth that are supported with facts.
It is a damn shame that an elected government official (and a trained attorney), a person who should know better, was planning coup dβΓ©tat.

Thanks for your article. Your reasoning shills bring clarity to the very slippery behavior of Sen. Cruz.
Vote for Colin Allred!!
