A Dallas congresswoman opened her Senate campaign by telling voters that she “has gone toe to toe with Donald Trump.” Her Democratic primary opponent insisted that Americans are tired of “politics as a blood sport.” The divergent approach highlights how U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett and state Rep. James Talarico are navigating a race where Democrats hope to break a three-decade losing streak in Texas. It also reflects a broader divide within the party, with some candidates continuing to focus on Trump while others barely mention his name on the trail. Figuring out the best approach will be critical for Democrats...

Colin Allred is dropping out of the 2026 U.S. Senate race in Texas to instead run for the U.S. House, saying that staying in the Senate race would hurt the Democratic Party’s chances of winning against one of President Donald Trump’s “bootlickers.” “In the past few days, I’ve come to believe that a bruising Senate Democratic primary and runoff would prevent the Democratic Party from going into this critical election unified against the danger posed to our communities and our Constitution by Donald Trump and one of his Republican bootlickers Paxton, Cornyn, or Hunt,” Allred said Monday in a statement....

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) is expected to shake up the Senate race with a Monday announcement that she plans to run for the seat that Republican John Cornyn holds. If she officially files, Crockett will face off in the March 3 Democratic primary against state Rep. James Talarico. Meanwhile, Colin Allred, who ran against Sen. Ted Cruz two years ago and had hinted at another Senate run, is exiting the race to return to the House. Whoever emerges from the Democratic primary, and polls suggest Crockett is likely to do so, will face the winner of the GOP primary between...

Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett on Sunday declined to retract her claim that Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin received money from deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Crockett made the false suggestion on the House floor Nov. 18, but the contributions in question were from a different Jeffrey Epstein.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the House of Representatives on Tuesday evening voted against censuring Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-V.I.) over her collusion with Epstein during a 2019 congressional hearing. The House voted 214 -209 against censuring Plaskett. Every Democrat voted against the censure, while...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), a bona fide member of “The Squad,” badly misfired in an attempt to attack EPA head Lee Zeldin for receiving money from one “Jeffrey Epstein” – a doctor in New York, not the convicted billionaire sex offender who killed himself. Crockett claimed Zeldin received money from Jeffrey Epstein while debating a resolution to censure Virgin Islands delegate Stacey Plaskett (D) for her past relationship with Epstein. https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1990889556774903965?s=20 According to latest Federal Elections Commission (FEC) reports, Zeldin did in fact receive a campaign donation from Jeffrey Epstein – just not the Epstein Crockett was referring to. “Yes...

Fact-challenged, lefty Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett got put in her place on live TV by CNN anchors after she falsely tried to blame Republicans for redacting the name of one of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims in a newly released email. The email in question was part of a tranche of 23,000 pages of documents from the convicted pedophile’s estate released by Republicans on the House Oversight Committee this week after Democrats published a smaller batch in which they chose to redact the name of deceased victim Virginia Giuffre. Republicans later revealed the omitted name in the 2011 email was Giuffre, and...

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...

Wednesday on CNN’s “The Situation Room,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) claimed President Donald Trump was “more corrupt and more criminal than any other president than we’ve had.” Host Pamela Brown said, “We spoke to Marlin Stutzman earlier, he’s a Republican, and he tried to make the case that President Trump is the most investigated person in the world, and he has not been accused of any criminal wrongdoing here. What do you make of that?” Crockett said, “Listen, they will do and say anything to cover themselves.You know, I will admit that Donald Trump has been investigated more than the...

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.”

When one thinks of the Democratic Party in 2025, most don’t think of compassion or relatability. Instead, anger is the first word that usually comes to mind. Here are ten examples of anger on display during Trump’s second term: “This dude [Ted Cruz] has to be knocked over the head, like, hard, right? Like, there is no niceties with him, like, at all!” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX). “[Trump senior advisor] Stephen Miller needs to be THUMPED! That guy’s a freaking worm. I would be willing to go to jail for – I mean, how much [time] would I get...

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...

Jasmine Crockett: "You can wave all the flags you want to, but the most unpatriotic people we have in this country are MAGA"

Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett claimed on Sunday that it caused her anguish to see that only two white lawmakers voted against the resolution honoring Charlie Kirk on Friday. Every Republican voted in favor of the resolution, but 58 Democrats voted against it, including Crockett and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who both cited their disagreement with his political views. Crockett asserted on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Kirk “specifically targeted people of color” with his “rhetoric.” “One of the things I do want to point out that’s not been laid out, that honestly hurts my heart, is when...

“That is, unfortunately, the cancer known as white supremacy,” said the Texas congresswoman after learning about Kirk’s comments about her and the Democratic Party. A month before his shooting death, conservative activist Charlie Kirk attacked U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, blaming her and Democrats for being part of a “sinister” plan to replace white people in America. While discussing the issue of redistricting congressional maps, which played out dramatically in Texas last month, Kirk said on his Aug. 4 podcast show, “The great replacement of white people is far more sinister than any redistricting project.” “That is at the core...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett has compared the work of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to “slave patrols” during an appearance on MSNBC’s Velshi on Sunday morning. “As somebody who understands history, when I see ICE, I see slave patrols,” she remarked. “If you understand the history of policing in this country, then you understand that they were born out of slave patrols.” Watch: VIDEO AT LINK................ ICE agents are responsible for enforcing America’s immigration laws and carrying out the mass deportations that President Trump campaigned on. Slave patrols were historically organized groups of armed militias in the American South, who...

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...
