Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, representing Texas' 30th district, has recently voiced her concerns on social media regarding several pressing issues. Known for her active engagement in political discourse, Crockett's recent tweets highlight significant matters she believes require urgent attention.

On February 17, 2025, Congresswoman Crockett addressed a critical situation involving the dismissal of federal employees responsible for maintaining air traffic control systems. She stated, "Less than a month since a crash that took 67 lives, Trump is firing hundreds of federal employees who inspect and maintain air traffic control communications, radio and computer systems. This is extremely dangerous and could have deadly consequences."

The following day, on February 18, 2025, she called upon her colleagues across the political spectrum to prioritize essential needs such as housing and food security. She urged them to focus on these fundamental issues by tweeting: "I need my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to get serious and focus on helping people keep a roof over their heads and food on their table."

In another tweet posted at the same time on February 18, 2025, Congresswoman Crockett questioned the rationale behind certain cost-cutting measures. She expressed skepticism about their effectiveness in ensuring safety or national security by stating: "What does this have to do with cutting costs? Ensuring that we can safely travel? Ensuring that we are not targeted by enemies foreign and domestic? NOTHING."
