Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, representing Texas’ 30th district, shared her perspectives through a series of tweets on May 2, 2025, expressing her views on various matters involving government oversight and administration actions. Crockett, who succeeded Eddie Bernice Johnson in 2023, has a history of advocating for accountability from her position in the House Oversight Committee. She tweeted about her commitment to representing the people of her district and to making sure government actions are critically evaluated.
On May 2, 2025, Crockett wrote, “The people of TX-30 elected me to speak up and speak out for them — and that’s exactly what I’ll continue to do. We have a responsibility on the House Oversight Committee to OVERSEE and call out the bullshit this administration is pulling. Human rights are being violated.” This emphasizes her dedication to the oversight responsibilities entrusted to her and her commitment to addressing perceived governmental malpractices.
Later the same day, Crockett tweeted, “Republicans on Oversight held a hearing attacking NPR & PBS. Now Trump’s following up by slashing funding for local public media that keep families informed & kids learning. As Vice Ranker, I’m calling it what it is: an assault on truth & accountability.” This statement reflects her disapproval of the actions targeting public media outlets, which she sees as vital to maintaining informed communities and fostering educational environments.
In another tweet, posted on May 2, 2025, Crockett criticized budget cuts to educational programs with, “You really have to be a special kind of evil to rip $1 BILLION from school mental health and anti-violence programs—because they dared to be inclusive. Trump isn’t saving kids—he’s sacrificing them to push his hateful agenda.” Crockett’s remarks address her concerns over the adverse effects such financial cuts could have on school programs and child welfare.
Representative Jasmine Crockett, who is 42 and originally from St. Louis, Missouri, received her education at Rhodes College and the University of Houston. She resides in Dallas and previously served as a member of the Texas House of Representatives from 2021 to 2023.
