Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett

The American people are watching the courts abandon precedent, ignore the Constitution, and bend over backwards to give Donald Trump whatever he wants. Every ruling like this further erodes people’s faith in institutions that are supposed to be independent, credible, and grounded in the law.

It quite literally couldn’t be clearer that this man does not care about you. “Not even a little bit” — his words, not mine. Working families are struggling to pay for groceries, keep the lights on, and fill up their gas tanks…and he couldn’t care less. You deserve better.

Referring to the highest-ranking Democrat in the House — who is also a Black man — using white supremacist, slavery-era language is NOT acceptable. Full stop. The lows this Congress continues to sink to are historic. Some people are determined to try and drag us backwards through both their rhetoric and legislation, but the reality is WE ARE NOT GOING. If folks actually knew their history, they’d remember the Confederates lost — and will keep losing.

This should not be a partisan issue — but Republicans have made it one. This is the same party that claims to stand for law and order, transparency, and protecting women and girls. But they couldn’t even be bothered to show up and hear directly from Epstein survivors. Their complicity is loud — but their absence was even louder. To every survivor: thank you for continuing to speak out. Our systems have failed you but we hear you, we believe you, and we will keep fighting until you get the justice you deserve.

To the mothers, grandmothers, bonus mamas, and all the women who love on us, sacrifice for us, and hold everything together—we see you and we thank you. The world keeps turning because of y’all. Happy Mother’s Day 💐

Over 3 million Virginians spoke loud and clear in a free and fair election — and now, because MAGA Republicans didn’t like the outcome, the Virginia Supreme Court struck down the results of the election. Let’s call this what it is: voter suppression. They keep losing when people actually vote, so instead of changing their policies, they keep trying to silence the voices of the people. The power belongs to the people — and every attempt to silence voters only exposes how afraid they are of the people’s voice.

Every day, I am amazed by @RepLaMonica’s bravery. Despite facing 17 years in prison for conducting oversight of ICE, she remains committed to protecting the people she serves. I was proud to tell @marieclairemag why I will stay on the frontlines with her.

Let’s not ignore the timing here. This raid comes just weeks after Virginia voters rejected Trump-backed efforts to rig the midterms, and it is not the first time Trump and his allies have openly targeted Black women they view as political opponents — including New York Attorney General Letitia James, Lisa Cook, and Congresswoman LaMonica McIver.   Americans are tired of watching y’all play political games just to generate headlines while the actual attacks on democracy keep getting ignored. Where’s this energy for the states that have spent years suppressing voters, rigging maps, and silencing Black communities?

A BILLION dollars. Not for lowering costs. Not for helping families. Not for anything that actually makes the cost of living more affordable. A billion dollars for Trump’s ballroom. While folks are out here struggling to keep up with rent, groceries, gas prices, utilities, and rising healthcare costs — this is what Republicans are prioritizing.

Happy May Day to the people who keep this country going. Today, workers took to the streets demanding that this country put workers over billionaires. Workers are the backbone of this country — and this economy doesn’t work without them. They deserve dignity, fair pay, and time to actually live and thrive, not just survive.

House Republicans kept DHS shut down for over 70 days—cutting off funding for FEMA, TSA, the Coast Guard, and more. Then today, they caved…after accomplishing absolutely nothing. Just like House Democrats demanded, they funded these agencies without giving ICE another dollar. So all that chaos? All that harm? For nothing. Meanwhile, they’ve been playing games with your safety—making life harder and more expensive for you.

Well, well, well… look at that. Just minutes after Oversight Democrats filed a resolution to hold Pam Bondi in contempt for dodging her deposition, Republicans found a way to schedule it. See you on May 29, Pam.

Baby, ain’t nothing nice about ICE. ❌ Killing Americans isn’t “nice.” ❌ Separating children from their families isn't “nice.” ❌ Denying people medical care isn't “nice.” ❌ Terrorizing communities isn’t “nice.”

The political violence is unacceptable and must stop. I am grateful that everyone attending tonight’s WHCD is safe.

I am relieved that Hayam El Gamal and her children are finally free after nearly 10 months in detention. I met with them in January at the Dilley Detention Center, and my heart broke hearing what they went through. Hayam was denied medical care, and her oldest daughter was separated from the family and placed in the women-only section. Since my visit, my office has stayed in close contact with their attorney and loved ones, pushing ICE and advocating for their release. While I’m grateful they’re finally out, it should not take nearly a year of suffering and public pressure for a family to be treated with basic dignity.

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files. Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas. You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

We lost a giant today. Congressman David Scott was a hero to his district, serving the people of the great state of Georgia with immense honor and pride for over two decades. I had the privilege of serving alongside him on the Agriculture Committee, where he made history for working families across the country. My heart breaks for his wife and daughters. I'm praying for his loved ones, family, and friends.
