Much to the dismay of MAGA, but to the pleasure of Democracy, Texas 30 has overwhelmingly re-elected me to a second term ☺️!
I’m currently at 93% after early voting & I don’t currently have a General OPPONENT!
Now, let’s take the HOUSE BACK! 💪🏾
So let me get this right…
1) Dems were right & R’s were wrong (AGAIN) about this impeachment nonsense, huh?
2) So James Comer & friends were used as Putin’s Puppets b/c well Putin wants his pal Trump back…
3) AND am I still supposed to do this Hunter Biden Deposition next…
My first day back has been a LONG ONE! I left the Capitol only about an hour ago!
I spent a ridiculous amount of hours in Oversight listening to the Republicans educate me on white privilege, display porn, admit that they were aware that Trump was taking money from foreign…
Y’all notice that MAGA has found all kinds of wrong doing by Fani Willis because she decided to “adult,” but Trump has had countless wives, affairs, mistresses, committed sexual abuse, been found liable of fraud, is OLD too, impeached 2 times, and has 91 counts pending BUT…
Side note: I hate this Supreme Court! Listening to these men twists themselves into knots to create new law to further restrict women’s access to save their damn lives & to control their bodies is confounding! Mifepristone has been safe for decades & now random whackos who know…
We are outta DC for 2 weeks! Here’s the Recap:
1) Democrats led the way in keeping the government open; AGAIN! (We’ve now, 6 months later, passed all 12 appropriations bills.)
2) House Republicans held what sounds like their last damn impeachment hearing! BOBO “the clown”…
Let me summarize my first day back in DC:
1) George Santos got a whopping 23 count superseding indictment, but somehow survived expulsion all while McCarthy was & still is only person to be expelled from his speakership.
2) Nancy Mace openly wore the scarlet letter on her chest…
Before I go to bed, I thought it would only be fitting to send “thoughts & prayers” to my colleague, Lauren Boebert. It’s my understanding that she placed 5th in her first straw poll of the election cycle. Now how many of y’all think BoBo gonna try to convince us that polls don’t…
I’m emotionally exhausted… a week from today people of my district will begin voting for me or my opponent to represent their voice in DC, BUT, the institution has gained yet another bruise delivered by the Clown House Republican majority.
I wake up, everyday, and take my oath…
Now bury this orange heathen under the jail. No election win for the Presidency can protect him from being ordered to the Georgia Department of Corrections. Fani Willis & her office can continue their prosecution so long as Special Prosecutor Wade is removed. The decision is odd…
I’m going to say this one time ONLY! TRUMP AINT SEND Y’ALL STIMULUS CHECKS! In fact, he possibly delayed them b/c he wanted his name on them. THANK The Dem Congress for the checks! NO President has that type of power, alone, over the purse & well he doesn’t pay his own bills! 🛑
This is insanity! We are on the floor! MAGA Mike is upset he can’t deliver for daddy Trump and holding us on the floor where the vote is tied 215-215 which means the BS impeachment fails!
First they came for women & I didn’t care;
Then they came for the LGBTQIA & I didn’t care;
Then they came for students & I didn’t care;
Then they came for black folk & I didn’t care;
Then they came for me…
Ya see how this works? All of our freedoms are on the line!
Arizona…
Please take note of the blatant disrespect, uninhibited threats, constant berating, & attempts to embarrass that black women in elected office endure as you listen to the testimony regarding DA Fani Willis. Please also note the risks extend to friends, family, reputation & one’s…
Ok… this may be the SPEAKER UPDATE for the day, or not (whew):
1) We didn’t vote at noon, as scheduled—and I have no idea if we are voting today or not 🤯.
2) Gym was dropping out this morning & as of an hour ago, he isn’t.
3) Rep Ken “Knuck if you” Buck warned Jordan that…
I just want Senate Dems to remember how Senate Repubs like McConnell act!
We lost Roe, Affirmative Action, Student debt Relief & more losses are on the way because Senate R’s held seats for Trump to appoint.
Trump ain’t the darn nominee yet, let alone the winner of the…
This is too good not to share! My Oversight Ranking Member, Jamie Raskin, delivered a bit of a burn to Marjorie Taylor Greene!
INCYMI: She didn’t know how to pronounce indictable & instead reverted to her favorite familiar word. Even better is that MAGA Mike wants to make her…
Raskin: The Trump trump-putin-maga faction, headed up by the distinguished gentlelady from Georgia, has been given the opportunity to bring a slapstick impeachment drive against a cabinet member of unimpeachable integrity who has committed nothing indictable or even in-dict-able
When I practiced law, I’d walk into certain courts knowing that the Judge had decided the case before I ever laid out my argument.
Today, I have a similar sinking feeling about the oral arguments before the Supreme Court. I mean, is Clarence Thomas able to accept the facts as…
Today was our filing deadline in Texas! Today, two men decided to challenge me in the primary.
One has openly said he isn’t pro-choice & is anti-lgbtqia & both have been completely silent about the injustice Kate Cox has been forced to endure!
I need your help to continue my…
Y’all… I’m sure someone is about to be offended but these Repubs are RAGGEDY! Gym wants to call speaker votes all weekend! Sir, the MATH AIN’T MATHING!
To add insult to injury, one of HIS SUPPORTERS, opted to go into the war zone! Yes, one rolled all the way to ISRAEL! They…
The US🏠 update for my first week back 🥴.
1) House Republicans are still 🤡.
2) MTG is puppeteering Speaker Mike Johnson… so Ukraine still gets no aid from us 😏.
3) In fact, next week’s agenda is not all about the Benjamins 💰, but all about the appliances… that’s right!…
Crockett: Would you consider erectile dysfunction as a lifesaving usage for Viagra.
Dr. Califf: Not lifesaving.
Crockett: I’m going to tell you, based on my research, Mifepristone actually has life saving characteristics…
My day started with an early flight to Dc to participate in a wacky transcribed interview with a Trump Tool…
Then there was a beautiful ceremony for descendants of African American heroes.
I then had to endure the bs vote to impeach Sec Mayorkas.
Oh, BUT NY3 has delivered…
BREAKING: Democrat Thomas Suozzi wins special election to U.S. House in New York's 3rd Congressional District, a seat once represented by George Santos before his expulsion from Congress.

at 10:03 p.m. EST.
SPEAKER VOTE UPDATE:
1) Well it still ain’t Gym… in fact he lost support on this round.
2) somehow it seems that George Santos tried to troll me or maybe not? Y’all my yellow jacket was cute & he decided he wanted to take a fashion poll on it during the vote 🤦🏾♀️.
3) Finally,…
What I was supposed to be doing v. What I am doing…
I was supposed to be leaving DC to do some campaign work so that we can take the house back from these petulant people.
Instead, I’m here (on Twitter) searching for information about when I have to report to the Capitol, if…
Newsy: House Freedom Caucus members are signing up to take shifts to guard the House floor in order to prevent resolutions they’d consider unsavory from slipping through that could curb their power, per two R sources.
This Floor Action Response Team (“FART”) aims to guard…
So the MAGAS think MTG is so amazing… right? To be clear, the senior member from Georgia was wrong! It’s a bad day when the Republican chair has to rule in my favor. LEARN the rules before trying to check me. 💅🏾
Ohhhhhh baby! Singing: “How does it feel?! How does it Fe’el?
A unanimous decision from the DC Circuit slamming “Citizen Trump’s” blatant attempt to keep sh*tting on our Constitution in furtherance of his criminality.
Paging Judge Chutkan… it’s time to put this case back on…
Can I just say that it makes no sense that when the Repubs show us who they are & screw up, the nation always looks to the Dems to fix it for them?! You can’t fix stupid & stop electing them if you just want us to do their work!
HISTORY SHOWS THAT THE REPUBS, when in control,…
So much has gone on in the last couple of days…
1) kids are getting an up close & personal lesson on civics as they’ve lobbied for TikTok.
2) Ken “knuck” if you Buck is at it again! He’s decided to throw the ✌🏾 next week putting Boebert at a disadvantage & shrinking the…
I’m not sure y’all need a summary— many of you watched the debacle unfold, live.
1) Gym Jordan went down before we were halfway through the alphabet.
2) McCarthy blew a gasket on a “faux news” reporter & still thinks democrats are to blame 🤦🏾♀️. (Never mind the 20 Rs that voted…
Turn your notifications on for tomorrow! A special report will be dropping & I’m guessing it will be juicy.
Until then, the House has recessed a day and a half EARLY. (Not that we are ahead of schedule or anything)
And for those that don’t want to listen to me… listen to…
GOP Rep. Roy: I want my Republican colleagues to give me one thing that I can go campaign on and say we did. One! Come and explain to me one meaningful, significant thing the Republican majority has done
1) I shouldn’t have looked 👀 to see why syphilis is trending 😩.
2) I showed up to committee ready to discuss the horrific deaths of a mother & her children this past weekend at the Texas Border. Seems relevant to a hearing on the border right?
3) My colleague decided to…
She’s never left my side & has always had my back. Last night was no exception. At almost 2 am, my mom was there to witness me officially be sworn in as a United States Congresswoman!
Make no mistake… when we shutdown, because we will, the blame is squarely on McCarthy & his MAGA friends… they’ve not passed the 12 appropriations bills nor a continuing resolution. Period, point blank!
Ok, WELL folks… can you guess what my day 4 update on the speaker vote is?!
1) Spoiler alert: We still don’t have a speaker.
2) George Santos was holding a small baby (random) & then went off on some random people saying they have no right to be in the Capitol (pot meet…
For the past three election cycles, I’ve been on the ballot… and every time I’ve been on the ballot, I’ve had certain people that show up… not because they are paid to, but because they know my heart & my work ethic!
Thank you to my Gonzales family for always having my back!…
When you believe in what you do, your authenticity rings through.
For the next 77 days, I look forward to proving all the ways that my fight still matters to all those feeling bettered by a system that rewards games & rarely clarifies if there are any gains.
The people of…
How do you spell G.O.A.T? I’m glad you asked it’s spelled JAMIE RASKIN!
So y’all remember when we had that bs impeachment hearing that was all about Hunter Biden, who last time I checked has never been President or in any other position that would subject him to an…
NEW: Ranking Member
@RepRaskin
issued the following statement after Chairman
@RepJamesComer
rejected Hunter Biden’s request to testify before the Committee in a public hearing:
Ok, Day 3 speaker votes haven’t been called off—yet, but it’s about that time! Here is your update!
1) Marjorie Taylor Greene is complaining that we aren’t on the floor voting & would prefer to go home so that she can get some more ammo 🤯 (cause we (members) are bout to go to…
House Dems, AGAIN, overwhelmingly saved the country from a shutdown.
House Republicans are now butt-hurt, AGAIN. The thought was just kick McCarthy out & we can shut it down! 🤯
The question is will it be groundhog day all over AGAIN?! You know like they vacate the speaker &…
1) 432 of 433 members are currently present (we have 2 vacancies, so we are missing 1 person)
2) Elise Stefanik is currently nominating Gym. She just said he’s gonna be America’s champ… for farmers & more (fyi, he’s never voted for the FARM BILL!) She also said something about…
Whew… and before those that don’t understand how systems work… NO Biden didn’t weaponize the government & order Trump to pay E Jean Carroll $83.3 million dollars. He had one of what will hopefully be many F Around & Find Out moments about being in these Truth Social streets…
CHESEBRO CAVED! What was that noise y’all talked about Fanni not being ready when the speedy trial requests were made? Seems like the Defendants weren’t ready— to go to prison! TRUMP she is COMING for you.
Good morning ALL… especially the trolls. 😊
Today is supposed to be Expulsion day, but the vote is still not scheduled as of yet… it’s looking like debate may take place today. We will see, BUT, there is a twist.
This morning George Santos held a press conference & basically…
Speaker Johnson did the right thing & threw Moscow Marge aka Marjorie Taylor Greene the bird 🖕🏾& the only people mad the day after are: her, Putin, & the Pro Putin Caucus within the House Republicans.
At the end of the day, Dems are always ready to work, if speaker Johnson…
“We do not reward the bare minimum.” Rep.
@JasmineforUS
breaks down why she and other House Democrats will not save Speaker Mike Johnson from losing his job.
So in this moment, I’m supposed to be engaging in a Speaker vote… but EVEN in the midst of an international emergency, the GOP is unable to proceed with a vote! I had a few thoughts about the chaos in the House. 👇🏾
Can we stop with stereotypes & lies, open our 👀 & be REAL about the degradation of our institution & do something about it (VOTE THEM OUT!)
1) y’all wanna guess how many almost fights we’ve had today?
2) y’all wanna guess what party(s) were involved?
3) y’all wanna guess if…
Midday SPEAKER UPDATE… it’s gonna be a long day & be too much to say so here goes!
1) The black candidate (Byron Donalds) lost… Tim Scott are you paying attention? The Rs are going to keep playing black folk 🤷🏽♀️.
2) Trump flip flopped (😮shocker) yesterday he was staying out…
This internet on this flight won’t let me be great as I attempt to read this report, BUT let me break a few things down about the difference between Trump’s charges & President Biden’s exoneration regarding the criminality surrounding his handling of classified documents: 🧵
1)…
Whatever anger you may have as it relates to the border, remember that House Republicans (under the direction of Trump) & Republicans like Greg Abbott & Ron DeSantis are the ones inflicting it upon you. We have no Kings in this country. It takes a full team working together to…
WOAH -- in a new statement,
@SpeakerJohnson
,
@SteveScalise
,
@GOPMajorityWhip
and
@EliseStefanik
have a new statement on the Senate supplemental. It reads, in part:
“Any consideration of this Senate bill in its current form is a waste of time. It is DEAD on arrival in the House.…
Due to the extreme weather conditions, we were not in session on yesterday.
We are currently only 2 days away from our first self-imposed crisis of ‘24; a partial government shutdown.
Guess what we will discuss in Oversight today. I’ll give you a hint, it has nothing to do…
Not much is getting done in DC, but Ms Fanni “Fulton County” Willis is getting it done in GEORGIA! She’s secured yet another plea deal… and ain’t nobody mad about it but the MAGA world.
Sidney Powell will be testifying; presumably against her former client—TRUMP!
Today, I woke up & thought, let’s end this year on a high! I’ll do
@msnbc
for the last time this year (will post later), I’ll get to my friend’s wedding, & depending on the timing of the wedding, slide into my church…
BUT, there’s always a but… it just didn’t happen that way.…
The 55 page ethics opinion on Santos has dropped & I’ll give y’all the punch line now 👇🏾, but I’m going to read it while in flight in a couple of hours and try to summarize some of the highlights.
Ethics UNANIMOUSLY (bipartisan) concluded that he broke laws EVERYWHERE & their…
I have a simple message for Rudy Guiliani from Shaye Moss & Ruby Freeman: “Run me my coins!”
It’s amazing to me that people still fall all over themselves for an opportunity to be close to Trump when everyone around him ends up broke, indicted, and/or convicted 🤯.
I’m back in the second hour of the Hunter Biden Deposition, but… I stand by every word that I said here 👇🏾.
One day, I’m hoping that the Speaker & House Republicans will find time to work on Solutions & give up on the salaciousness that they continue to peddle.
Crockett: I said the reason that he would not want to testify behind closed doors is because all they do is lie and I can tell you there is some lie they are working on spinning coming out of here
Too much was going on yesterday, but of course Marjorie Taylor Greene had to be in the midst of the chaos, as well.
So it comes out that she called another member of her conference a P**#% & then there was this Gem, where she attempted to say that due to Ranking Member…
Greene: My colleague who is 80 years old just said we’re on the verge of a shutdown. She probably just forgot she voted for the CR,we are not on the verge of a shutdown.
DeLauro: What the gentlelady doesn’t know is there is another body attached to the Congress called the Senate
My Day 2 UPDATE in DC awaiting a speaker vote:
1) the GOP cast their votes for election denier 1&2 & were pretty much evenly split, but they decided to go with the David Duke stan aka Scalise.
2) Trump’s endorsed candidate, Gym Jordan, lost. This is becoming a pattern. Let’s…
My granny used to say don’t write a check your ass can’t cash… translation Donald Trump shoulda exercised caution when he was lying & telling everyone that he was on his Dave Chapelle (no you ain’t that Rich B…)
He also shoulda kept E. Jean Carrol’s name out his mouth!
In…
Ohhh man… one primary & he’s out?! ✌🏾Deflated DeSantis!
So when will Nikki realize that the Repubs don’t want her either?
UPDATE: DeSantis ALREADY dropped on his knees to support TRUMP 🤦🏾♀️. At least pretend you have a little dignity.
Morning! Today will be one for the history books, if history or books will still be allowed in the future by “conservatives.”
Anyway, I’ll have an update or two for you, later. My morning is to begin with the Hunter Biden closed door depo 👀 & later we will have the impeachment…
Rep.
@JasmineForUS
on GOP attacks on IVF: “It seems like there was every excuse in the book to kill a Black walking, living, & breathing human being. And then you want to talk about embryos & say that they are people? Something that cannot breathe?”
Pod:
Well… D stands for DONE when referencing Jordan. By the time we got to the D’s his fate was sealed. He’s lost this speaker race, AGAIN. Can y’all telegraph to his district that he’s a loser & maybe get someone into the seat that wants to work?
Has anyone tuned into Faux News to see what, if anything, they are telling the cult followers about the verdict? I refuse to assist in their ratings, but I’m curious lol.
Speaker Johnson is probably thanking his lucky🌟 right now that most people aren’t discussing that Putin is flexing b/c of the Speaker’s impotence or that we’ve not done a damn thing to get through our budget. On top of this, TRUMP is now ordered to pay $364 milli & Matt Gaetz…
We won’t forget that 51 years ago today, brave Texas women moved our country in the right direction & won the Roe v Wade decision… mark my words, TEXAS WOMEN will lead the fight to restore women to some semblance of full personhood! WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN, and frankly no freedom…
What a week?!
TODAY is the last day of early voting in Texas, & I am begging all of you to get out & VOTE. Turnout in Dallas County is down from our midterm 🤯.
Due to House Republican dysfunction, I have missed half of early voting & our gov’t funding is on life support.…
Now Trump is mad at the Secretary of State in Maine… take several seats because I’m sure there will be more for you to be upset about… even though you have no issue with violating the constitution or continually putting people in harm’s way.
Nevertheless, as Trump’s minions…
Y’all, it was a busy Wednesday.
After becoming the first Black woman Democrat to play in the Congressional Baseball Game, I went viral for torching Lauren Boebert for her disrespectful nonsense.
If you can, help me keep up my momentum to fight back against Repub hypocrisy👇🏾!
If you think the chaos is over… well you haven’t been paying attention… after 3 weeks, the Circus finally has a ring leader. Buckle up buttercups. This is the FINAL SPEAKER UPDATE, unless Mike Johnson is vacated 🤷🏽♀️.
I gotta give y’all a little house tea 🤦🏾♀️.
1) MAGA Mike invited Hannity to do a R town hall in the house. (I think this is a first)
2) Ken “knuck If you” Buck along with my fellow Texas colleague Kay Granger said to hell w/ you looney toons… “WE OUT!” (They are retiring)
3)…
Tonight I was on
@CNN
with
@Acosta
and we discussed a number of things including Gargoyle Greg Abbott & of course my colleague’s obsession with Hunter Biden’s intimate moments.
Crockett: When you have idiots -- and I am intentionally calling her an idiot -- like Marjorie Taylor Greene who wants to flash nude pictures, I wouldn't take these people seriously….
While I’m mentally preparing for Super Tuesday & to head back to DC for more distracting drama from House Republicans, I’m sending love & light to
@theebillyporter
on the loss of his mother.
SPEAKERGATE UPDATE:
1) For some, the 3rd time is the charm & in this case it was more like darn. Jordan’s numbers flushed his candidacy right down the sh**ter 😂. He’s out!
2) Now it’s starting to feel a bit like hunger games… who will volunteer as Tribute? See the running…
Candidates who are either in or making calls or considering getting in the race for speaker: Tom Emmer, Byron Donalds, Austin Scott, Jack Bergman, Kevin Hern, Mike Johnson and Mark Green.
It’s so confusing to me that the House GOP has said, “Shut down the border or we shut the government down!”
Do they understand that the border is monitored & laws are enforced by federal government employees 🤦🏾♀️?! How do you go all the way to the border, take a pic, & leave just…
Morning, we are back in session, as of yesterday & before I go in, I’m gonna address the fact that so many people allowed a characterization of my words to be framed by the opposition 🤯 from an interview on Sunday. (hint the Rs will never say nice things about me.)
1) It is…
Even a broke clock is right 2 times a day. This is the second time I’ve quote tweeted Chip Roy for TELLING the TRUTH!
Let me get my MAGAPHONE! Can you hear me now? I’ve said it before; Congress has to act, but the House Republicans literally don’t know HOW to act!
Holy sh*t, here's Republican Rep. Chip Roy exposing Trump's lies about the border, saying he failed to secure it when he was President.
🚨Make sure everyone sees this.
Some are probably wondering exactly how a person (Ken Paxton) who is facing felony indictments, himself, was elected to a position where he has the audacity to ignore a Texas Judge’s ruling & threaten prosecution of healthcare professionals that are trained and trying to live up…

Well folks… late last night there was more of the speaker shuffle, so here goes:
1) Byron Donalds lost, AGAIN.
2) Mike Johnson - who arrived to congress in ‘17, became the second speaker designate for the day. To be clear, he is yet another threat to democracy (seemingly a…
Ok I missed the biggest update for day 3 by posting too early! Scalise has withdrawn! Let’s just get this done! The American People deserve a path forward! Hakeem Jeffries will lead in a Bipartisan way & is good at math. 😊

Any MAGA R: “says something stupid”
Me: proceeds to clap back…
Lauren Boebert was beyond disrespectful & as granny would say, she was “loud” & “wrong” today. 👇🏾
Crockett: I am going to start with some nonsense she was trying to spew and unlike Ms. Boebert, I am legally trained and I also legislated before I got here
I’m so much better in my advocacy of others than I am for myself… with that being said, in 10 days or less, we will know the date of the special election for NY 3.
1) the election will take place 70-80 days after the above-listed date.
2) here’s my ask… there will be no…
As required by law, I will announce the date for a special election in the third district within the next ten days.
I take this responsibility seriously, and am committed to ensuring there will be a Member of Congress who can serve Nassau and Queens Counties.
After many delays, I’m about to land in DC to get back to work for the PEOPLE!
For the past two days we offered condolences & tomorrow my predecessor, the Elegant Eddie Bernice Johnson will finally be laid to rest.
REST will not be part of my agenda for the week! It’s time to…
Important question… serious question… how is it that day after day we experience senseless gun violence & people aren’t outraged?
I say that because while Dems flipped a seat yesterday, over 40 % of the people didn’t seek out the candidate that believes in gun reform, repro…
My life in the house yesterday was… very well summed up by the looks on the faces of the Republicans as they stared at an empty chair reserved for
Hunter Biden to be “deposed.”
We then went to our vote on the Impeachment inquiry of President Biden & the EVER so important…
VIRGINIA, STAND UP! Y’all pushed back! The Dems control the house & the Senate! Let’s get a trifecta & boot Youngkin in ‘25! (Update: VA doesn’t allow for consecutive gubernatorial terms! AMEN, bye Sir!)
Maine is suffering right now & they along with the rest of our beautiful country deserve to feel safe in our communities. We get there when those w/ the power to affect change, have the courage to do it! Jared is in a swing district & will need help!
Golden: I have opposed efforts to ban deadly weapons of war like the assault rifle he used to carry out this crime. The time has now come for me to take responsibility for this failure. Which is why I now call on the United States congress to ban assault rifles
Whew! The Dem House Majority is hopefully on its way to PRESERVE & PROTECT Democracy & so much more!
While it is exhausting that some folk… just won’t do right & have to be fiscally irresponsible in their quest to hold onto power, Louisiana FINALLY drew a map that will allow…
In short… George Santos said he:
1) was “duly” elected… I emphasize duly b/c that may be up for debate.
2) said his office is doing excellent work for the people in his district.
3) this would set a terrible precedent if we expelled him; AND
4) basically said I doible…
Finally, let’s address this memory ish… I was just with the President a few hours ago… HIS memory is fine. He remembers that the world is whack without Roe. He remembers what Democracy is and won’t stand for Autocracy. He also remembers that even in a booming economy, people…
