After Cruz made a dig at the size of Swalwell's manhood while talking about tuck-friendly swimwear, Swalwell dragged him on X, formerly Twitter.

California Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell had an epic reaction to a bizarre joke Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz made about Swalwell's penis size.

During a conversation with conservative commentator and podcaster Benny Johnson, Cruz discussed tuck-friendly swimwear being sold at Target.


Tuck-friendly swimwear is swimwear that transgender women or drag queens can wear if they wish to hide more prominent genitalia—and which conservatives, as part of a broader anti-LGBTQ+ backlash, have falsely claimed are being marketed to children.

At one point, out of the blue, Johnson asked Cruz if Swalwell "wears a tuck-friendly swimsuit," to which Cruz gave the following response:

“He may be wearing one right now.. to be fair in order to have a tuck-friendly swimsuit, you have to have something to tuck.” ...
“You’re going to get me into trouble for that! I’m just making an observation about anatomy. Let me be clear, I’m not a biologist so how can I know?”

You can hear Cruz's remarks in the video below.

The video of Cruz's remarks soon caught Swalwell's attention, who responded on X, formerly Twitter, by posting a screenshot of Johnson’s post and said:

“Nothing to see here. Just 2 anti-gay Republicans riding around on a Friday night in a prom limo talking about my…”

You can see Swalwell's response below.

Many have criticized Cruz as a result.



Though conservatives have circulated online claims that Target offers a children's bathing suit labeled as "tuck-friendly" in its Pride collection, an Associated Press fact-check has determined that such claims are false.

According to a Target spokesperson and information available on the company's website, the "tuck-friendly" swimsuits are solely available in adult sizes. The children's swimsuits within the Pride collection do not carry this designation.

Photos and videos depicting colorful one-piece and black swim bottoms are evidently identified on Target's website as adult swimsuits, available in general adult sizing, with the smallest size being adult XS.

The Oscars Are Moving To YouTube Starting In 2029—And Everyone Is Making The Same Joke

In 2029, viewers will be able to watch influencer vlogs, conspiracy explainers, AI slop, and the Oscars ceremony all in the same place. After more than half a century on broadcast television, the Academy Awards are officially moving to YouTube, where the ceremony will stream exclusively beginning with the 101st Oscars.

It’s a seismic shift for Hollywood’s biggest night. The Oscars were first broadcast on NBC in 1953, bounced between NBC and ABC throughout the 1960s and ’70s, and eventually settled into a long, uninterrupted run on ABC starting in 1976. That partnership will officially end with the 100th Oscars ceremony in 2028, closing out more than 50 years on network television.

JFK's Grandnephew Offers Blunt Reality Check After Kennedy Center Board Votes To Add Trump's Name

Former Massachusetts Democratic Representative Joseph Kennedy III made a very important point when he explained why the name of the Kennedy Center can't just be changed on a whim after White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that the Kennedy Center Board had voted to rename the performing arts center the "Trump-Kennedy Center."

Congress officially named the center after former President John F. Kennedy in 1964, following his assassination. According to Donald A. Ritchie, who served as Senate historian from 2009 to 2015, because Congress bestowed the name, only Congress has the authority to legally change it.

Trump Announces 'Patriot Games' For America's 250th Birthday—And Everyone's Making The Same Grim Comparison

President Donald Trump invited comparisons to The Hunger Games after announcing several plans for America's 250th anniversary, including the "Patriot Games," in which one male and one female high schooler from each state and territory compete in an "unprecedented four-day athletic event."

The Hunger Games, written by Suzanne Collins, is the story of Katniss Everdeen, a young woman who finds herself up against a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line.
