Senator John Cornyn, a Republican from Texas, posted several tweets on February 10, 2026, addressing issues ranging from federal law enforcement to international energy supplies.
In his first tweet of the day, Cornyn commented on recent events in Minnesota. He wrote, “Isn’t the nullification of federal law what’s happening in Minnesota today? The attacks on ICE may be cloaked in righteousness, but it’s self-righteousness.” The senator also referenced an opinion piece titled “Minnesota Burning” by @wjmcgurn published via @WSJopinion.
Later that morning, Cornyn turned his attention to international affairs. At 12:04 p.m., he tweeted about Cuba’s fuel shortages: “Cuba runs out of jet fuel as Donald Trump squeezes oil supplies via @FT https://t.co/cETj2nKQr7”.
A third tweet appeared at 1:31 p.m., stating simply “Up in 2 https://t.co/P31slAhiwY”.
Senator Cornyn has held his seat since first winning election in 2002. Over multiple election cycles, he has defeated Democratic challengers including Ron Kirk (2002), Rick Noriega (2008), David Alameel (2014), and MJ Hegar (2020), with vote shares ranging from approximately 53% to over 61%.
