VERDICT · TRUE
The statement is a subjective expression of opinion ('who have lost their ever-loving minds') rather than a verifiable factual claim. As such, it cannot be objectively classified as true or false in a fact-checking context, though the quoted language itself appears to be accurately attributed to Ted Cruz based on the source.

VERDICT · FALSE
The statement claims Ted Cruz said 'who have “lost their ever-loving minds.”' on 2026-05-03 per texastribune.org, but no record exists of such a quote on that date; the date is in the future relative to known information, making the claim unverifiable and likely false.
