Jasmine Crockett is running to be Ranking Member on Oversight — and ready for the fight.
She’s sharp, qualified, and speaking directly to this moment.
Watch her make the case — and check out her take on the seniority issue. It might surprise you.

While I support the push back on fascism and the support of humans rights, the way this post is worded is very problematic because it panders to those who don’t hold other countries to the same standard Israel is, and that’s called Antisemitism.
Conflating all protests or criticisms of Israeli policy with antisemitism ignores that each case is very fact specific.

Mohamad Soliman threw Molotov cocktails at a group of Jews in an attempt to burn them alive—simply for being Jewish.
The firebombing of Jews in Boulder, Colorado is the latest act of antisemitic terrorism.
I stand unequivocally with the Jewish community in the fight against antisemitism.

The antisemitic attack in Boulder was an act of terror—full stop. It was meant to send a message of fear. Our response has to send a louder one: there is no place for this kind of hate. Not in Boulder. Not anywhere.

I stood on the House Floor this week to sound the alarm:
ICE is targeting Oregon workplaces again and trying to turn employers into agents of fear.
These tactics are meant to intimidate.
But they only work when people don’t know their rights.
Oregon will not be silent.

Republicans want to cut nearly $300 billion from SNAP, taking food away from hungry seniors, veterans, disabled Americans, and working families.
For what? To pay off their billionaire donors.

Republicans want to add more red-tape to Medicaid.
In 2024, Georgia did the same with their state Medicaid program. They spent $86 MILLION just administering these requirements. And worse, only 7,000 out of 345,000 eligible people were able to enroll in the program.
What happened to efficiency?
