Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett has recently been vocal on social media about current political events, primarily focusing on the actions of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Representing Texas' 30th district, Crockett shared her perspectives in a series of tweets, highlighting issues such as national security, voter suppression, and labor rights, with Trump and Musk often at the forefront of her criticism.

In a tweet posted on April 5, 2025, Crockett commented on Donald Trump's lifestyle choices juxtaposed with the struggles of Americans. She stated, "While Trump’s out here swinging golf clubs in FL, Americans are in the streets fighting back against the chaos he and Elon keep causing. Voter suppression, ridiculous tariffs, and straight-up disrespect for democracy. Folks are sending a clear message."

On April 6, 2025, Crockett tweeted regarding potential impacts by Elon Musk's DOGE on Homeland Security, expressing concern for national security. She remarked, "Elon’s DOGE is expected to come for Homeland Security next — with cuts to critical agencies like the Secret Service and FEMA. Our national security is NOT a game, and Elon sure as hell shouldn’t be the one playing it."

A tweet from Crockett on April 7, 2025, celebrated a perceived victory for democracy and workers' rights, referencing Donald Trump and labor board dismissals. She observed, "This ain’t The Apprentice—Trump can’t just fire Dems from federal labor boards like it’s reality TV. This is a huge win for democracy and workers’ rights."
