Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, representing Texas' 30th district since 2023, has been active on social media discussing various political and historical issues. Her recent tweets cover topics from visiting January 6th defendants to celebrating the leadership of a fellow Texan in Congress.

On December 6, 2024, Congresswoman Crockett addressed her visit to January 6th defendants in a tweet. She stated: "That's right @FoxNews - I visited January 6th defendants who tried to destroy our government for Donald Trump's approval, and I'm ready to meet with Trump's billionaire friends who are trying to do the same thing. Let's talk."

Later that day, she expressed pride in her colleague's new role within the Congressional Progressive Caucus. In her tweet posted at 17:23 UTC, she wrote: "Let's Go Texas!! So proud of my friend and our new Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair @RepCasar. As a fellow Texan, Greg knows how to stand up for working people against far-right extremism and corporate interests. So excited to work alongside you in the 119th Congress!"

In another tweet on December 6, posted at 21:19 UTC, Crockett reflected on a significant historical event—the abolition of slavery in the United States. She remarked: "On December 6, 1865, the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery in the U.S. As we reflect on this dark chapter, we’re reminded that the fight for justice and equality continues today."
