Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, representing Texas' 30th district, has been vocal on social media regarding several pressing issues. In a series of tweets, she expressed her concerns about potential political and economic developments that could impact American citizens.

On November 18, 2024, Congresswoman Crockett shared her apprehensions about the military's involvement in domestic operations. She warned of the consequences such actions might have on citizens, including "mass surveillance," families being separated, and economic hardships such as "closed businesses" and "empty grocery shelves." Her post can be viewed here.

Later that day, she criticized proposed Republican policies under former President Trump. According to Crockett's tweet from November 18, 2024, these plans involve reducing Medicaid and SNAP benefits while imposing a significant sales tax increase to fund tax breaks for billionaires. She characterized this approach as placing financial burdens on working Americans to benefit the wealthy. The full statement is available here.

On November 19, 2024, Congresswoman Crockett addressed the House GOP's stance on women's protection. She urged them to release an Ethics Committee report concerning allegations against Matt Gaetz instead of focusing on banning colleagues from using bathrooms. She called for transparency and an end to bigotry in her tweet found here.
