Happy birthday, Senator Ted Cruz! To the Texan senator who made Cuban sandwiches and cowboy boots a bipartisan combo—your dedication as the first Hispanic U.S. Senator from Texas has truly spiced things up. Whether you're passionately debating policy or famously reading "Green Eggs and Ham" on the Senate floor, you always keep political discourse flavorful.Congrats also on your role as vice-chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, proving once again that folks from Texas sure know how to handle heat. May your birthday be filled with laughter, success—and fewer filibusters! Here’s to another year of bold standpoints and robust debates.
