Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, representing Texas’ 30th district since 2023, has recently expressed her concerns on social media regarding political maneuvers she perceives as detrimental to public welfare and democratic principles. Crockett, who succeeded Eddie Bernice Johnson in the U.S. Congress and previously served in the Texas House of Representatives, shared her thoughts on recent legislative actions and political stunts through a series of tweets.
On May 19, 2025, Crockett commented on legislative activities by House Republicans over the weekend. She stated that while many were concluding their weekends, “House Republicans were sneaking through Trump’s tax scam—one that slashes Medicaid, cuts food assistance, and makes the rich richer.” She warned that if this bill progresses further, “13.7 million people will lose their healthcare coverage.” Read more.
