Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) said her polling indicated she can win the Texas U.S. Senate seat in the 2026 election. Host Jake Tapper said, “So you are, we’re told, weighing a decision on whether to jump into this Texas Senate race challenging Republican Senator John Cornyn for his seat, although it’s unclear that Cornyn will survive a Republican primary. You said you had a meeting this week with pollsters to discuss your chances. Did you have that meeting and if so, how did it go? Are you are you still thinking about running?”...

After months of scurrilous accusations and gloating over how the Epstein case would bring about his end, President Trump agreed to sign the Congressional resolution authorizing the release of all the Epstein files in the government's possession. The results were not those Democrats had hoped for. Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein's under-aged, sexually exploited victims, turned out to be a big fan of Donald Trump. In her book "Nobody's Girl" Giuffre had only positive things to say about him. She said Trump was not involved in Epstein's sex-trafficking network, was kind to her, never treated her inappropriately, and would...

Neurosurgeon Dr. Jeffrey Epstein speaks out after Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, falsely confused him with the convicted sex offender after he donated to Republicans on ‘Hannity.’

Lee Zeldin responds after Rep. Jasmine Crockett falsely links him to Jeffrey Epstein. Zeldin breaks down the mix-up, the fake “donation,” and why the claims collapsed instantly. Pat presses on political spin, media framing, and what really happened.

Jasmine Crockett was fact-checked by CNN anchors while flaming Donald Trump over his connections to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released bombshell emails from the deceased billionaire Wednesday morning where he claims Trump 'spent hours at my house' with one of his victims. In the initial release of emails, Democrats redacted the name of the victim that Epstein claims spent time with Trump. House Republicans later revealed that the victim was Virginia Giuffre who claimed in her memoir that Trump never did anything wrong. Crockett clashed with CNN anchor Pamela Brown over Giuffre's name being concealed...

Following Stephen A. Smith’s tirade against Jasmine Crockett and those alike, the U.S. Representative for Texas has reacted. She replied with a prayer hands emoji to rapper Willie D’s comments about Smith. “Stephen A. Smith taking shots at Jasmine Crockett ain’t just messy, it’s weak,” he stated in a repost shared on Crockett’s Instagram Stories. “Dude is sitting on one of the biggest mics in America, and instead of using it to uplift, he’s tearing down a Black woman who’s out here putting in real work. That ain’t critique, that’s betrayal. Jasmine Crockett ain’t the problem.”

Former FBI chief James Comey was indicted on criminal charges of lying to Congress and obstructing justice. The indictment came just days before the expiring statute of limitations would have made the charges moot. Former US Attorney Erik Siebert had been delaying pursuing the case but was fired by President Trump and replaced by an attorney who pursued and obtained the indictment. Nearly five years ago, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex) questioned Comey under oath about testimony he had given during a 2017 hearing to Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa). Comey confirmed that he had denied ever leaking information to the media...

Thursday on MSNBC’s “All In,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) said President Donald Trump’s followers could not call themselves “patriotic” if they cheered the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey. Host Chris Hayes said, “James Comey, the former director of the FBI, a guy who refused to turn the bureau into Trump’s personal plaything, has now been indicted on two federal charge.” Crockett said, “Yeah, so here’s the thing. I want the American people to know that when you stand up to a bully, you win. Do not back down. Do not bend. You allow them to go and wage...

In a bid to stave off an infusion of law-enforcement assets into his city by President Trump, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson declared that "the idea that law enforcement is the solution to reducing crime is a sickness. Folks commit crimes because they are desperate. Sending armed cops after them just accelerates that desperation leading to more death and destruction." Johnson went on to praise Gov. JB Pritzker's (D) "Peacekeepers" initiative, saying "rather than give up on folks with criminal records we are going to give them a chance to refocus their efforts in ways that will help the community become...

Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett claimed on “Getting Better with Jonathan Van Ness” Wednesday that committing crimes does not make a person a “criminal.” Crockett was previously a public defender, civil rights and criminal defense attorney, specializing in “defending our most vulnerable among us from exploitation in the criminal justice system,” according to her official biography. She said on the podcast that she has spoken to people who were “committing crimes” and that she “understood” their motivations. “[U]nderstanding what ends up having people become criminally impacted really informs so much of what I do legislatively, right?” Crockett said. “So, when...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, rejected the idea that far-left rhetoric led to conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s killing, defending her right to refer to President Donald Trump as “wannabe Hitler.” Kirk’s death has sparked a nationwide conversation about political violence, particularly whether referring to one’s opposition as “fascist” or “Hitler” encourages unstable radicals to target them in lone wolf attacks. According to law enforcement reports, bullet casings found near where Kirk was killed were inscribed with anti-fascist messages. Since the July 2024 assassination attempt on Trump, Republicans have accused members of the media and Democratic opponents of fueling violence by repeatedly...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) is tearing into conservatives who “immediately” blamed Democrats for the death of Charlie Kirk, the right-wing activist and President Donald Trump ally who was fatally shot Wednesday at Utah Valley University. Crockett condemned the partisan rhetoric during an appearance on “The Breakfast Club.” “I hate that some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle immediately came out and they were like, ‘Oh, you know, this is on the Democrats,’” Crockett said Friday. “Like, we don’t even know who did what. And ya’ll are like, ‘This is on the Democrats.’” Numerous conservatives have argued...

"I wanna be clear that, like, law enforcement isn't to prevent crime. They're not supposed to prevent crimes from happening."

SHE IS OUT! Texas just dropped a redistricting bombshell, wiping out Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett's district like it never existed. Let’s hope this means she is out for good! Like strike 3 you are gone! This loudmouth, known for viral zingers and anti-Trump rants-she called his supporters a cult and swore to fight MAGA extremists-thought her blue district was a fortress. Nope! The new map: Adds five red seats Nukes five blue ones Poof! Crockett's district is gone! Remember when she and other Dems ditched Texas on a Soros-funded private:JET to dodge a vote? Sipping beers, snapping selfies, crying save...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett says President Trump's latest attack on her is a warning sign ... she says he either has dementia, or he's just dumb as a rock. The Democratic Congresswoman from Texas joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday and we asked about Trump calling her a very low IQ individual and challenging her to take a cognitive exam. Crockett says the only one lacking any brain cells here is Trump ... and she rattles off a list of differences between their life achievements -- going jab-for-jab with POTUS, and mixing in some shots at his social media platform. The...

Once, not too long ago, people with ideas aspired to enter politics by presenting their ideas, which were debated during rallies and speeches. Worthy candidates laid out a map to follow for election, and voters judged the best route. Within the past year, many high-profile Democrats have replaced maps with megaphones and words that would make World War II-era merchant marines proud, remaining confident that their volume equaled clarity, while anger equaled authenticity. Although rhetorical shifts such as these grab attention for a single moment, the speakers never learned the lesson that attention without persuasion turns into nothing but a...

In Texas, the Republican majority in the legislature wants to redraw the boundaries of several congressional districts. Democrats are boycotting the legislature in an attempt to prevent this outcome. The Republican majority has issued arrest warrants, but the boycotters have taken refuge outside the jurisdiction of the warrants. Some fled to Massachusetts and others to Illinois. The current number of Texas' congressional seats held by each Party are 25 for Republicans to 12 for Democrats (a 68% to 32% edge for Republicans over Democrats). If the Republican redistricting plan goes through it is projected to change the ratio to 30...

Saturday on MSNBC’s “Velshi,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) claimed Republicans had taken their hoods off in President Donald Trump’s second term. Crockett said, “It’s not just even the fact that it’s gerrymandering. I want to be clear, this is racial gerrymandering, specifically in the state of Texas.” Host Ali Velshi said, “Do you hear the stuff they’re saying about Gene Wu, by the way, talking about Asians, like how he’s connected to the Chinese Communist Party, like the racism. They’re not doing a great job at keeping it, you know, keeping the lid on that pot.”

WASHINGTON — Rep. Jasmine Crockett has positioned herself as an unfiltered critic of President Trump, earning regular TV appearances and an enthusiastic online following, but congressional aides tell The Post that the Dallas Democrat is just as “rude” and mean to her own staff. The liberal loudmouth, 44, has rocketed to fame since taking office in January 2023 as a fiery antagonist of the Republican president and his allies. But three sources who have worked with or for Crockett say she’s rarely present when TV cameras aren’t rolling — and terrorizes staff when she does appear. Crockett is not often...

Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX) suffered a meltdown after the Texas GOP unveiled a new congressional map that leaves her quite literally out of bounds. The far-left loudmouth, known for her unhinged outbursts, freaked out after Texas State Rep. Todd Hunter (R) released a proposed redistricting map that would reshape the political battlefield in favor of conservatives. The proposed map includes the elimination of five Democrat districts across Austin, Dallas, Houston, and South Texas. Crockett, who now doesn’t even reside in the district she currently represents, was livid. “I currently don’t live in the [Congressional District] 30 that they created…that’s...
