Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 30th district since 2023, recently shared her views on social media regarding policies and actions associated with former President Donald Trump. These posts reflect her concerns about proposed economic measures, data transparency, and governmental actions concerning law enforcement.

On January 31, 2025, Congresswoman Crockett expressed her alarm over a statement made by Trump regarding tariffs on medications. She questioned the potential impact of such tariffs on American consumers who already face high prescription drug costs. "HOLD UP. Did Trump just say he will put tariffs on medications? Americans already pay more for prescription medications than anywhere in the world - and he wants us to pay EVEN MORE? Americans want cheaper drug prices. Trump is giving us higher taxes instead."

Later that day, she raised concerns about the removal of public health information from government websites. The deleted data pertained to LGBTQIA health issues, healthcare disparities, and children's mental health. Crockett questioned the motives behind these actions by Trump's administration. "What is Trump trying to hide? Just today, public health information regarding LGBTQIA health, healthcare disparities, children's mental health, and more has been deleted and censored from government websites. What other data is the Trump Regime about to erase?"

On February 1, 2025, Congresswoman Crockett reported on directives allegedly given by Trump's Department of Justice Deputy Attorney General to create a blacklist of FBI officers for termination due to their lawful investigation into an insurrection at the Capitol. This event resulted in severe injuries and deaths among law enforcement personnel. "Trump’s DOJ Deputy AG is ordering the FBI Acting Secretary to create a blacklist of officers for termination because they LAWFULLY INVESTIGATED an insurrection at the Capitol that resulted in severe injuries and deaths, including of law enforcement."
