Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, who represents Texas' 30th district in the U.S. Congress and succeeded Eddie Bernice Johnson in 2023, actively engages her constituents through social media. She recently shared her insights and standpoints on several political developments via Twitter.

On April 10, 2025, Crockett expressed her views on a Republican budget vote issue. "Republicans pulled their budget vote tonight because—surprise!—they’re too busy fighting each other to govern." She argued that while Republicans might disagree on mathematical specifics, they collectively aim to cut essential services for working families, allegedly to enrich billionaire donors.

In another post the same day, Crockett highlighted her concern over former President Donald Trump's impact on the political system. "Now they see it. Trump isn’t fixing the system—he’s breaking it." She stated that many Americans have grown frustrated, and together with her Democratic peers, she is committed to opposing Trump’s influence and advancing "people-centered policy that actually makes a difference."

In a subsequent tweet, Crockett addressed the impending vote on the "SAVE Act," described by Republicans. "Today, we’re voting on what Republicans are calling the 'SAVE Act'—but let’s be real, it’s a straight-up voter suppression bill." Crockett criticized the bill, asserting it aims to restrict the voting rights of millions of Americans. She declared her firm opposition to the bill, underscoring her intent to vote against it.

Congresswoman Crockett, originally from St. Louis, Missouri, currently lives in Dallas. She graduated from Rhodes College in 2003 and earned a JD from the University of Houston in 2006. Her political career includes serving in the Texas House of Representatives from 2021 to 2023 before her current congressional role.
