Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, representing Texas' 30th district in the U.S. Congress, has expressed her views on several pressing issues through a series of tweets. These posts, made on January 29, 2025, address topics ranging from healthcare to immigration policies.

In a tweet posted at 17:43 UTC, Congresswoman Crockett criticized former President Donald Trump's approach to healthcare policy. She stated that "Trump wants to institute total government control of our healthcare system and decide what healthcare children can receive." She emphasized that medical decisions for transgender children should be made by "a patient, their family, and their doctor - NOT the government."

Later in the day at 19:30 UTC, Crockett commented on Trump's efforts regarding public programs. She wrote "Cough cough... F around and find out! But Donny is still out here still trying to chop down the programs we pay for and need." She assured her followers that she would continue applying pressure against these actions: "We are keeping that pressure ON. Don’t worry, I ain’t letting up."

At 22:20 UTC, Crockett addressed immigration policy in another tweet. She criticized plans to send migrants to Guantanamo Bay by stating "This is how a dictator acts. Sending 30K migrants to Guantanamo—a place w/ repeated human rights violations—is an attempt to evade our legal system & act in the shadows hundreds of miles away." She reminded readers about the limited due process afforded to detainees there.
